General

Evening Glory is situated in a wonderful riverside position on the banks of the River Yare close to the popular village of Brundall. Brundall is located in the heart of the Broads just South East of Norwich city centre and is an ideal base from which to enjoy your Norfolk Broads holiday.

This charming riverside chalet is perfect for a small family. The property sleeps 4 people in one double and one twin bedroom. The open plan modern kitchen and lounge creates a social area where everyone can be together and as the chalet is all on one level inside this gives a cosy cottage feel with charming river views. The ample outside space is certainly a highlight of this location as there is a large decking area overlooking the river, ideal for sitting out, fishing and enjoying the views. Have a your morning cuppa out here as you watch the river burst into life or have a late afternoon aperitif whilst you watch the sun go down. If you are a keen fisherman there is direct access from the decking for you whilst the rest of the family do a spot of sunbathing or relax with a good book.

You are in a prime location if you decide to hire a day boat and explore the river navigations by the water. It often changes the perspective of this special corner of Norfolk and is a good way to explore the local wildlife which varies throughout the year. Further afield you could explore the medieval and pretty city of Norwich, a short journey from Brundall train station. Walk the cobbled streets with their independent cafes and shops, enjoy a bit culture at Norwich Castle and Art Gallery or marvel at the architecture of the magnificent Cathedral. Alternatively, take the 20 minute train journey to Great Yarmouth and have nostalgic day at the seaside. Return after your busy day of activities and relax on your outdoor decking as you settle back into the slow pace of life by the river.
