Lovely stay

Great property, ideal for trips to the coast. Lovely quiet location. The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The roads to access the village were narrow and it was a little tricky to find due to road closures, but once we found it, we were fine.

Lovely cottage on a quiet lake

Meadow Brown is a lovely cottage in a small row of cottages with a lovely quiet lake behind, friendly ducks and a convenient location. Easy to get to the Broads and the coast - 30 min drive to see seals at Horsey Gap. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen well equipped. The local pub does huge, tasty, homecooked plated takeaway meals for under £10!

About the host

Hosted by Alfred Levy

We the owners are Sue and Alfred and we acquired Meadow Brown Cottage in 2005 as a holiday home for ourselves and our family. We love going to East Ruston and we find there is a large demand from holidaymakers for cottages like ours. So we decided that by letting it out to others, we can share our enjoyment of the great facilities and the local environment with others.
We are now both retired, and have enjoyed thoroughly refurbishing the cottage to our own high standards. Whilst we use our leisure time to visit many new places we always look forward to our own stays at Meadow Brown every few months as it is so relaxing.

Sue was born in Norfolk and loves returning to her old haunts there

Why they chose this property

We bought Meadow Brown in 2005- having spent a long time searching for something suitable for ourselves. Most places we saw were pleasant but did not have a special feel about them. What attracted us, then, and still does now, is as soon as you walk in the front door and go into the lounge, the view is stunning and you immediately feel relaxed .

Car parking is right by the cottage but off the road,

The Lighthouse Inn at Walcott is a very pleasant pub serving good food

The cottage is within 15 minutes of Wroxham, Stalham, Potter Heigham, Hickling Broad, Walcott; Sea Palling and Barton Broad.

30 minutes away are the city of Norwich; Great Yarmouth; Cromer and Winterton Beach.

Stalham is a small town with a good branch of Tesco and other shops of interest

What makes this property unique

There is a fishing lake within the grounds which attracted many specialist anglers in the past. Some otters appeared recently, which has reduced the number of large fish. The management committee are constantly reviewing the situation with the intention of eventually restocking the lake and clearing it of all weeds etc.. In the meantime families can still enjoy some recreational fishing. It is intended to make the area into one of natural beauty attracting wild life and birds.
Wi -fi (full fibre - up to 15mbps) is now available. Includes streaming and netflix in both lounge and master bedroom
There are 2 blocks of cottages on the site, and Meadow Brown is on the end of one of the terraces and is the largest cottage and has 3 bedrooms and a separate kitchen.
It is extremely well equipped with all mod cons including dishwasher.
Our son and his family stay each Summer and enjoy all the local beaches and facilities.
