General
Ballysteen is a cosy two-bedroom, single storey chalet situated in Brundall, just to the South East of Norwich, on the banks of the scenic River Yare. With wonderful views up and down the river, you can sit inside the riverside lounge or outside on the furnished decking area and watch the ducks, swans, grebes, herons and, if lucky, the odd kingfisher or otter.
This traditional holiday chalet sleeps up to 4 people in two double bedrooms. The airy, open plan living area is equipped with free WiFi and a large flatscreen TV offering Freesat and Freeview; there are two comfortable sofas, a separate dining table and four dining chairs, plus a well-equipped kitchen offering a fan assisted oven, dishwasher, fridge, microwave and washing machine. The bathroom has a bath with shower over. There are excellent views across the river from the bedroom windows and through the patio doors off the lounge, which lead onto a raised decking area. The lower decking area is the perfect spot for fishing (closed season 15 March – 15 June) or you can moor a day boat there instead if you wish.
The village of Brundall is close to the heart of the Norfolk Broads with a railway station just 5 minutes’ walk away offering access to the medieval city of Norwich (2 stops) and to the seaside at Great Yarmouth or Lowestoft. The White Heron - the local pub / restaurant - is open 7 days a week. The East Hills Cafe is also within easy walking distance and serves lunches, afternoon teas (including cream teas) and evening meals in a beautiful setting. There are 2 further local pubs within easy driving distance, The Ram in Brundall Village (1 mile) and the Shoulder of Mutton in Strumpshaw (2 miles).
Brundall village has 2 well stocked supermarkets, a chemist and a garden centre, as well as a choice of takeaway restaurants - Indian, Chinese and a Chippy. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside with many riverside walks and cycle routes. Good bream, perch, pike and roach can be caught directly from the deck during fishing season. Day boats can be hired within a short walk from the chalet and there are regular cruises or trip boats from nearby boatyards. Information leaflets on walks, cycle rides, local attractions, eating places and train times are in the chalet.
