A firm favourite with past guests and even better now with her fresh new look.

Our 2 bedroom River Rest is in a perfect setting at the front of the Marina, a good spot for fishing from the garden and seeing the boats pass by on their way to and from the River Yare. This quiet and tranquil location is in a perfect spot to get into the quieter waters with your own boat, kayak or paddle board from our slipway. Explore the Norfolk Broads and moor right outside of your cosy lodge! Boat and canoe hire is available locally – pre booking is advised.

Peaceful relaxing views & location

Great cottage & fab location. Tina was really helpful. Had a 5 day break here & just chilled around while sorting some business which was the purpose of the stay.

A lovely lodge on the river. Ideal location for fishing and boating. Our lodge was clean and comfortable and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Close to grocery shops takeaways and restaurants.

Our first impression, on entering the 'River Rest' Lodge, were: "It's perfect!". When we settled in we grew to appreciate the design, use of space and the efficient modern facilities. Decor was understated and in good taste (the heron motif delightful). All the friends who joined us during our stay were equally appreciative. It was also very reassuring to know that Tina was always available, in person, or by 'phone.
As for location, it was a constant joy to be surrounded by the ever changing tidal waters, intimate access to which was readily available for hire from Broom Boats. We didn't get around to fishing but it was always there as an option. As for the resident wildlife, we were so captivated by the company of friendly ducks and swans throughout the stay. It didn't require the lure of tit-bits to encourage them to settle down besides us. The stentorian chorus each morning of pigeons calling to each other across the marina seemed to us that they, like us, were drunk on the perfect location for such wonderful weather.

Returned to Norfolk Holiday Lodges for a second time. This time in River Rest. Beautiful lodge in a lovely quiet location. Husband enjoyed the fishing. Warm welcome as always from Tina. Will be back next year.

River Rest is a perfect lodge to stay at for a relaxing break. The lodge is perfectly equipped and very clean. This was our second stay and we have booked for next year. The fishing is also an added plus for anglers. There is nothing negative to say about this property as you return from your break feeling so relaxed. We also take our dog with us and she loves it. A special mention to Tina, who cannot do enough for all her customers. Looking forward to our return next year.

I booked river rest because of its location near water being a keen angler myself, the cottage/lodge looks idyllic in the pictures and did not disappoint when we arrived.
My wife and I needed a peaceful break from the hustle and bustle and were not at all disappointed.
All in all a lovely time, and re booked for next year by the way.

Loved every minute. Slipway for my small fishing boat was 30m away. Moored outside the property and secure in a marina. Lodge was everything we needed straight to hand. The view from veranda first thing in the morning was birds boats and sunrise,Simply gorgeous. Thanks to Tina for making us welcome. And the biscuits and dog treats were a nice thought. We have some lovely memories.

From the booking process through to arrival and our stay, this was a totally enjoyable experience. For us, the location was idylic, the accomodation first class, and we had a really relaxing break complete with fishing (just step outside!) and visits to Norwich and Wroxham, both within a short drive. We were lucky with the weather but, even so, I am sure we would have had a great time. The White Heron pub and East Hills cafe are both within a 10 minute work and we had excellent meals at both. We would totally recommend Norfolk Holiday Lodges and a big thank you to Tina and here team who looked after us so well. I am sure that if there were any issues (there weren't) they would have been immediately addressed. Thank you, highly recommended and we have already booked a return visit later this year.

The property has been refurbished to a super standard and was spotless (you would never know that there may have been pets on previous visits) and really comfortable. It has everything you could need and felt like a home from home. The customer service was amazing and Tina and Carl were the nicest people wanting to make sure our stay was perfect. The property is in an ideal location for fishing with plenty of space and also we could make use of the slip way for paddle boarding. The views were beautiful and the wildlife plentiful, there was a family of otters living just opposite.
We've had the perfect holiday and can't wait to return.

Having previously stayed at this property we were extremely impressed by the much needed referb. Every detail has been carefully thought out to provide a home away from home. We had a very minor issue with a tin opener that didn't work- this was rectified in less than 3 hours. Great customer service Tina.
Good fishing, much larger than the tiddlers we caught last year. Its just a shame you can't control the wind- though Tina would have fixed it if it was possible!
So impressed we've already booked for next year.

Stayed at this property last year just after it changed management. It was ok but in need of modernisation. New owners have done an excellent job of improvements. It is modern, comfortable and well equipped. Location is really good for a peaceful break. Sit on the sheltered veranda, decking and garden area and watch the boats pass by. Tina, the holiday lodge manager, is so helpful.

Thank you for your kind review. We are so pleased you came back this year and got to see all of our improvements. It means a lot to us that you enjoyed your stay and took the time to review River Rest since the renovations and refurbishments. We hope to see you both again - with the family next time? ;) All the best, Tina :)

We were really impressed with River Rest. The property is situated in an excellent position on the river with its own mooring in a marina, which not only gives you a great view but also easy access to the river for the kids to use their paddle board and kayak. The accommodation was excellent and spotlessly clean, having been recently renovated and decorated throughout. There was even a welcome pack waiting for us which was a nice touch. River Rest has all the amenities you could hope for with a fully fitted kitchen, two really nice / powerful showers and a large (smart) TV in the cosy living room area. In terms of location it is nicely secluded down a a quiet private road with easy access to local pubs, shops and restaurant / take aways - and the station is also at the end of the road. For day trips its within easy reach of the The Broads, Wroxham, Great Yarmouth, Cromer and Horsey (all of which we visited during our stay). Tina (the site manager) was also friendly and a great help. Overall i would rate the property as 5 star.
