The Norfolk Broads has so much to offer and our self-catering cottages are an ideal base to explore the Norfolk Broads, Norfolk and Suffolk. Holidaying with family or friends, we have places that are next door to each other to allow bigger groups to holiday together. A fantastic location on the water front and based in Wroxham / Hoveton, the heart of the Norfolk Broads. The Broads has so much to offer– rent a motor launch for a day, sailing, rowing using a dinghy we supply, fishing, great wildlife, many nature reserves for observing the unique wetland wildlife and exploring the many special places to see in East Anglia. Within walking distance you have great shops, a choice of pubs and restaurants. Travel a bit further and you have Castles, theme parks, Great Yarmouth with its many attractions. Waterside Retreat is a detached holiday home in a superb position, just off the main River Bure, in the heart of Wroxham, Broadlands' liveliest village. With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, luxurious kitchen and lounge with eating area it will very comfortably sleeps up to 8 people. This is an ideal holiday retreat in the Norfolk Broads and an excellent location for sailing, fishing and bird watching. Modern and furnished to a high standard of comfort, this charming holiday home is a perfect retreat at any time of the year and guests benefit from the use of a rowing dinghy. Now with WiFi Broadband Internet access. Wroxham and Hoveton are divided by the River Bure, with the two villages generally referred to as Wroxham. It is one of the Norfolk Broads largest boat hire centres where you can enjoy river trips, hire a boat, enjoy some fishing, sailing, golf, cycling or walking with nature trails to follow. Sandy beaches can be found just twelve miles away and the City of Norwich with its beautiful cathedral, castle, museum, theatre and superb shopping is just eight miles. The village of Wroxham is home to Wroxham Barns, the Bure Valley Railway and Roys - the largest village store in the country. Here you will find riverside pubs, restaurants and shops that are just a short stroll from Waterside Retreat. The area of Wroxham is actually made up of two villages - Wroxham and Hoveton, split by a low bridge that spans the River Bure. Wroxham is often referred to as the 'Capital of the Norfolk Broads' and is an ideal location to stay at for a variety of reasons: There are plentiful places to eat and drink locally! Wroxham boasts Roys store which claims to the “largest village store in the Country”. Here you will find all your grocery needs with many products being sourced locally as well as a large department store – plenty of retail opportunities to indulge in and only a 5 minute walk. Within a 15 minute drive you could be at one of the glorious sandy Norfolk beaches or if city life is more your thing, then you could be in historic Norwich with a wealth of shopping opportunities and tourist attractions. The Broads is well known for its’ fishing activity – you should expect to find perch, pike, bream, rudd, eel and tench in the waters here. Fishing (subject to season and licence) can be enjoyed from the decking at all our properties. We would obviously be remiss if we didn’t mention the joy of just being out on the water. Within a couple of minutes walk from each property, it is easy to hire a boat by the hour, half day, day or longer. If you fancy a boat trip but without you being the Captain, there are a number of organised boat trips which leave from the centre of Wroxham or from nearby Horning.

Pet fee £25 per pet payable to owner (Maximum 2)

Nicely situated for shops, pubs, restaurants
Lovely situated property! Did find the lounge a bit over crowded with furniture and would of liked more blinds or curtains up as felt quite vulnerable especially as early winter nights, bedrooms and bathrooms comfortable and clean, sofas need a good clean in between cushions as full of things other people have left behind! Lovely modern clean kitchen! Hosts easy to contact and will resolve any problems. Summer here would be lovely as you can open bifolds for more space overlooking the river

Excellent house
Lovely house, quiet and comfortable except for the beds. All the beds in the house were the same, a slab of unforgiving foam atop a wooden base, what a shame. The short walk to the village was just perfect and the garden was just right for sunny relaxation.

Chill out week
Lovely house, plenty of space for 8 people although we were only a party of 4 due to Covid. We went out for lunches and evening meals as that was our choice, but the facilities at Bright Side for cooking are spot on, so well equipped. Comfortable beds and powerful showers, we all loved it and have booked again for later this year. Highly recommend.

Excellent location.
The house is very well equipped and has lovely outside space. Located in a quiet residential area and next to the river with plenty of wildlife. Walking distance to restaurants, cafes and boat hire etc. Are group was two active couples in our 60s and enjoyed our stay in the area. The property may not be suitable for families with small children as it has the river at the bottom of the garden and is not fenced off.

We enjoyed every bit of this amazing house, it's so much better than the pictures. It has everything that you'd need to make your stay fun and relaxing. We lacked nothing at all as it is very well equipped with everything you'd need for a holiday rental. Paul was so great at communicating with me promptly at all times. All shops, restaurants and park are within walking distance. We'll definitely be coming back for a longer stay to enjoy the boat rides in the warm weather.

Lovely long weekend
A beautiful property in a perfect location (although satnav got us a little lost finding it first time!). Very well equipped cottage and very quick and efficient communication with the owner to any questions we had both before we stayed and during. Would definitely look to stay at Brightside again. Ps the underfloor heating and ambient/automatic lighting were an added bonus :)

Brilliant accommodation, great location.
A beautiful, very well equipped home. We spent 3 lovely days here, the house had everything we needed and was lovely and warm. It is very tastefully decorated with 3 beautiful bathrooms. It is in a lovely location, the garden backs onto the river, a quiet road, yet only a five minute walk from shops, takeaways, pubs and supermarket. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property. The owner was prompt with his communications throughout the booking process and provided clear instructions for entry to the property and information during our stay. A five star weekend was had by all.
