Our Brundall Breaks Reviews

Another great holiday. Very wet at the beginning but weather got better, nice to sit outside in the sun (when out). Got loads of perch. Looking forward to next year. Thank you for the starter pack as always appreciated.

C and N    12/10/2024

Another brilliant week in Swallowdale. Weather good to start but then went a bit pants. Fishing slow, not that many caught but were bigger than in the past. Welcome box appreciated as no sugar brought with us, so thanks for that. See you next year.

P and M    28/09/2024

Have to say I've been going to Brundall over the last 52 years, stayed in quite a few over the time and yours stands out above the rest. A home from home

The G Family    21/09/2024

Just like to say that the welcome pack was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Swallowdale exceeded all expectations, the best equipped place that we have stayed in over many years. The fishing wasn't the best but enjoyable all the same. Lovely, relaxing holiday enjoyed by all.

D,M,D,M and M    14/09/2024

Thanks Ian & Jo. 2nd time this year, about 10 times at Swallowdale. Great stay. Fantastic fishing and great weather. The best holiday let by far. A gem in the Broadlands. FACT. Thank you so much.

The B Family    06/09/2024

Fantastic week, thank you. Accommodation is first class and the welcome box is a nice gesture. We had lovely weather so was able to enjoy the outside facilities. Plenty of fish caught this year, so that was a bonus. Hope to be back soon.

The C Family    31/08/2024

Enjoyed our stay at Swallowdale. Lovely well equipped holiday lodge. Got everything you could ask for. Peaceful with a lovely view, Welcome pack a nice kind touch. Thank you.

A and S    24/08/2024

Our first time at Swallowdale and could not have been better (apart from the weather!) The cottage is spotlessly clean, comfortable and everything you need has been thought of. The welcome pack was a really lovely touch. A real 'home from home' feel. Thanks so much.

S and R    10/08/2024

As always amazing stay. It was all that we want for a great holiday. Thank you for the basket of treats and essentials. Booked for next year and we will be back in September, can't wait.

C and N    22/06/2024

Another amazing holiday at Swallowdale, beautiful cottage that has everything you need. Views that are amazing, day and night. Already booked for next year cannot wait. Thankyou Ian and Family.

S, L and T    14/06/2024

Amazing week as always, whatever the weather Swallowdale always delivers a fab holiday. New bed is very comfortable and the basket of goodies is always a treat. See you soon.

L and M    08/06/2024

We have stayed at Brundall for a few years. Discovered Swallowdale by chance last year. This is undoubtedly the gem of the available chalets on Riverside Estate. Well equipped, standard is fantastic as is the care and attention to detail. We are so impressed that booked for next year before we left.

A and G    25/05/2024

A very comfortable and well equipped cottage. We needed a relaxing holiday and enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

R and L    18/05/2024

What a find. This place is an absolute joy, thank you for sharing with everyone. It is almost home from home except we do not have such an amazing view. Very much looking forward to returning soon.

C and S    09/03/2024

Fantastic stay again. Fishing hard this week but I did have a surprise on Tuesday. I caught my first Trout in Norfolk, after fishing over 60 years in Norfolk. Still the best holiday cottage in Norfolk. We're back in September, Thank You Ian & Jo.

A and L B    02/03/2024

Really enjoyed our stay at Swallowdale. Lovely welcome pack full of essentials and goodies. Bedrooms both lovely and comfortable with plenty of space. Kitchen more than well equipped with full instructions on how to use everything. Lovely scenery from decking, was even warm enough to sit outside a few times. Not many fish caught but plenty of wildlife to listen to and catch sight of. Would highly recommend Swallowdale to friends. Thank you for a lovely stay. 

G and C B    10/02/2024

Another great week at Swallowdale, without doubt the best holiday home we have stayed in for the past 4 years. It always amazes us how the place always looks as though no one has stayed here before us! If we were local I'd be asking for the numbers of the cleaner! Thank you.

The M Family    04/11/2023

Fantastic stay. A lovely place with everything catered for, and more. A great welcome pack. One of the best places we have stayed on the Broads. My husband didn't catch many fish but the weather was a bit pants! Nothing could be improved. Thanks.

The R Family    28/10/2023

The best holiday home I have ever stayed in along this river. Spotlessly clean. well equipped and a welcome hamper. This relaxing break was a present from my sons to celebrate my 60th year and I didn't want to leave. Perhaps turning 60 isn't so bad after all! Thank you.

The A Family    21/10/2023

We have stayed at 6 lodges in total in Brundall and Swallowdale is by far the nicest and best. Ian & Jo have put so much thought into this holiday home. We have both been gobsmacked at how much care and thought has gone into providing all everyone wants when they holiday here. You should both give yourselves a pat on the back. We're back next year, can't wait.

D, M and E    14/10/2023

Had another fantastic stay, home from home. Caught lots of fish as usual. Weather was great, sat outside most days. Look forward to next year.

C and N E    23/09/2023

Excellent cottage, one of the best in Brundall. Fished all week, caught plenty Roach, Perch and Bream in the evenings. Hope to come back sometime in the future.

A    09/09/2023

Once again you have made the cottage home from home. Changes to the cottage have made it very comfortable. The welcome pack was much appreciated. Lucky with the weather in the daylight hours but mostly rained heavy which affected the bream night fishing. Not done as well as in previous years, fish seem to be a lot smaller. Hey Ho! that's fishing, better luck next year. Thank You.

The C Family    02/09/2023

What a lovely place. One of the best we have stayed in. You have thought of everything plus gorgeous welcome box. Thank you.

The S Family    19/08/2023

Fantastic stay, gorgeous weather, with a beautiful setting. Everything you could possibly need is here. Loved the sunsets, daily duck and heron visits. Great fishing, caught an 8lb bream. Kids loved paddle boarding and kayaking. Thanks for our basket of goodies.

The B Family    12/08/2023

Thank you for a lovely week really enjoyed our time here. The welcome pack was very nice. Weather changeable but so lovely just to sit and fish watching the world go by. It's been very comfortable in your holiday home, well equipped. Thanks for your efforts.

C and D    15/07/2023

Thank you for the welcome basket, it's always appreciated. The lodge is as lovely as ever, it's like second home. Weather was good and I loved sitting in the sun watching the world go by. Neil as always loving the fishing. Can't wait until October. Thank you for all the hard work keeping the place as comfortable and welcoming.

C and N    08/07/2023

Thanks Ian & Jo. Lovely weather, brilliant accommodation. Saw an otter this trip, couldn't believe it. Fishing brilliant during the day time, hopeless at night. Maggots, worms and pellets cast to the lily pads. Saw a personal best 2lb 2oz. Roach, big perch and big bream. Thanks a lot and see you next year.

P and M    23/06/2023

Wonderful weather, perfect accommodation, lovely and clean. lovely welcome basket. Everything you need. Already booked for next year (can't wait). Thank you so much.

Had a great time as we always do here, like home from home. Thank you for the welcome box. Very relaxing week. See you again next year.

C and N   07/10/2022

Thank you so much Ian and Jo for letting us share your lovely holiday cottage, the welcome pack was much appreciated. We have had a lovely restful week watching the boats and wildlife, (herrons, kingfishers, egrets, cormorants, grebes) listening to the owls at night and hearing the foxes calling to each other. Fishing, good days and bad days. We have stayed in many cottages throughout Gt Britain and this has been up there with the best, for cleanliness and every utility you needed was to be found. Bed super comfy. So good coming back next year. Once again thank you so much.

H, M and P   24/09/2022

Thank you both so much for a wonderful holiday. Everything thought out inside and outside. Best restful holiday we have had and fishing was great.

T and V   17/09/2022

Thanks for having us again. Good weather during the day, rained during the night. Always plenty to do, places to visit. Thanks for the welcome pack. Hope to come back soon.

G and J   08/09/2022

Thanks again for letting us stay in your fantastic cottage. Also many thanks for the kind welcome pack. Weather was absolutely brilliant. The fishing good as ever, bream, roach, perch and a lonely pike. Bird life and fishing excellent, saw the kingfisher 5 times flying up and down the river Yare. We are both looking forward to a return visit in 2023.

A and M C   27/08/2022

As always feels like coming home! Great weather but a tad too warm the first week. 40°C. Thanks for the very thoughtful gift for our golden wedding anniversary. Such a lovely lodge, always very clean and well equipped. Enjoyed the fishing - we are gutted we only booked one week for 2023 - we will have to come back twice! See you next year.

A and T    30/07/2022

As always had a fantastic stay. Always welcoming when you arrive, thank you for the supplies. Enjoyed the fishing and seen the seal 3 times which made the fish move on but it was still good. I have spent 2 weeks chilling out, feels like home from home coming. We can't wait till October when we are back again. Thanks again Ian & Jo for this lovely place.

C and N E    01/07/2022

Thank You Ian and Jo. You have a lovely, homely cottage. It is well equipped with everything you need for a great holiday (home from home). Thank you for the welcome pack, a great touch. 5 Star+

A and L S    25/06/2022

Had a lovely relaxing stay. So glad we didn't have to worry about our dog as he loves swimming! It's boiling hot this week. Had a really enjoyable stay. We will be back. Thankyou. Thankyou for the welcome box.

J and J L    17/06/2022

Thank you for your welcome basket it was a lovely touch. We had a great week and have already booked for next year after a couple of days arriving. Cottage is beautiful, we couldn't expect anything more from a holiday. Very clean, everything you need. Dog safe, no need to worry about him getting to the water or running off. See you next year.

L, S and T    28/05/2022

Such a pleasure to be back at Swallowdale with beautiful weather and the deluxe accommodation. Booked again for next year. Thanks to Ian and Jo for the usual great experience from start to finish.

L and M H    22/05/2022

We had a good couple of days here. We felt incredibly welcomed into the place and had a lovely time exploring places round here. It is kept extremely well and clean also!! Would definitely stay here again!

The M Family    10/04/2022

What a fabulous week we've had here. The view from the house and deck is just breathtaking. The quality of the house and everything therein is 1st class and the generosity of such a lovely welcome box has made this such a wonderful week to remember. Thank you.

M and R    26/03/2022

Another great stay. Thankyou for the welcome pack, and as always clean and everything to hand. The pub was closed, the fishing not good but it was a lovely break. Will be back next year.

L and A B    11/03/2022

When we arrived we were over the moon to see such a spotlessly clean, welcoming place. We were took back by the kindness of the owners with two Christmas presents under the beautiful Christmas tree and a fantastic welcome pack with all the essentials. We had a beautiful Christmas here and would definitely return.

K and A    24/12/2021

Had a lovely week, weather not too bad, rain on some days but didn't ruin the holiday. Lovely cottage, clean, tidy and warm. Had everything that we needed. Views lovely, spotted the herons nest. Got to visit a lot of the broads. Welcome pack was a lovely touch. Thank you for everything and we will visit again.

B and J A    20/11/2021

Once again a lovely week spent chilling and fishing. Explored more beaches this year with the dogs, Gorleston was our favourite. Fishing tough, not much activity until after 5pm then Bam! At least the weather was much nicer than last October. Thankyou for the welcome basket, and the use of your lovely holiday home.

R and J M    16/10/2021

As always everything great. Enjoyed the fishing, nights were better. Lodge well equipped. Looking to come back next year. Thank you Ian for keeping it very homely. Shame it wasn't for 2 weeks.

Great week, fishing was very good. 3lb Rudd and specimen. Good weather, super stay again. Back in March. Always top cottage, Thank you Ian. Always spotless.

The B Family    11/09/2021

So clean and well kept. There is nothing I can say negatively. I have been to some expensive cottages but Swallowdale is everything you could need on a Norfolk Broads self catering holiday. I love it, it is like home from home. Thanks. Already booked for 2022 and on the list for 2023.

G    28/08/2021

C and R     31/10/2020

We always look forward so much to our stays at Swallowdale and each time we see an improvement of some kind. Such a wonderful place to stay, even with Covid-19 in force, we saw so much nature, beautiful sunsets and peace. Thank you Ian & Jo for the card and the usual spotless lodge.

L and M H     24/10/2020

Another Great Stay. This without doubt is the best Brundall Breaks let in Brundall. We have stayed in five properties along here. This lovely home has it all. This week we had high tides and rain, but the fishing was good. The stay was perfect. 3rd stay here. We will be back. Thanks for the little touches. Everything you need. Thanks Jo and Ian.

A, L, C and M B    05/10/2019

It’s our 3rd visit, thank you so much for letting us stay in your lovely cottage. We were blessed with good weather while we stayed here. We were able to relax and enjoy the sun, lovely views and birdlife. Food at East Hills superb. Fishing once again amazing, Perch to 3lb, Pike to 8lb, Bream to 4lb and plenty of fish to catch throughout the day. Again would like to thank you for the welcome pack. Already booked for next year. Thanks.

A and M C    14/09/2019

Enjoyed the chalet and the location. The weather was changeable. We visited places by car that 25-30 years ago we visited by boat. Salhouse, Ranworth, Horning, Loddon, Ludham and Oulton Broad. Very little changes. Would like to think we could come back.

Mr and Mrs R    07/09/2019

This is our 4th visit and it has been, as always absolutely fantastic. From the moment we walk into Jo and Ian's amazing accommodation we instantly relax and feel at home. The welcome pack is always amazing and even treats for our dog Ozzy, which were greatly appreciated. This accommodation, views and fishing is among one of the best holiday cottages we've ever stayed in and brings us back year after year. Thank you both so much.

L and O    31/08/2019

We so love this place. The weather has been lovely and it’s so relaxing, it’s unbelievable. Fishing has been tidy too, lots of large bream very early or into the night. We’ve all had such a lovely time. See you soon.

K, K, J and G    03/08/2019

The end of our 4th visit and as always had a great time, good week of fishing for Mike and sitting relaxing for the rest of us. Will be back again next year.

S, M, M and B     27/07/2019

Just what we needed, time to relax and enjoy our weeks holiday. John has been fishing most of the time, me with my books. Weather was very good for sunbathing, just one day cloudy but very warm. Looking forward to coming again in September. Got booked for 2 weeks next year as well. Thank you, Ian, for the basket.

Mr and Mrs N    20/07/2019

Very relaxing week, just what was needed. Fishing was good, and weather other than Saturday afternoon was good - not too hot. Thankyou for the welcome pack. Enjoyed the wine on the deck watching the wildlife while hubby fished. Wanted to book this week again for next year but already booked so will look for September and try for 2 weeks, so will be back.

A and G S     13/07/2019

Again the highlight of our year. We love Swallowdale (a lot!). Weather pretty good, only one thunderstorm and lots of rain for a day. Husband caught so much bream, he needed help lifting his keep net out of the river! Bonus. See you next year. Thanks to Ian and Jo too.

Mr and Mrs O    22/06/2019

Just perfect! What a view. We have loved every minute. A wonderful spot for J and P's 31st wedding Anniversary.

Wonderful as always, our visits to Swallowdale are the highlight of our year. Alexa is a lovely new addition and the lodge is, as ever, perfect. Thanks, Ian and Jo, we’ll be back soon.

L and M    25/05/2019

Superb accommodation. Has everything you need and more!! Very comfortable and quiet location, exceeded our expectations in every way. Unfortunately, the weather was against us (rain, rain!!) but we coped and went out and about as usual. Have recommended the lodge to friends and family, its now in my favourites for a return visit. Welcome pack very much appreciated.

J and P    11/05/2019

We originally booked one week stay, but due to the lovely chalet and great weather, we extended our stay by six more days. Ian has made our visit so comfortable and pleasant. The chalet is well looked after and had everything we needed. The basket of goodies was great. We will be back for sure. Thank you, Ian.

O, R, C and P    20/04/2019

As we lived in Brundall 10 years ago, no sightseeing. Enjoyed cosy chalet and life on the river. Great. Thank You. 5 Star

J and L    06/04/2019

Most enjoyable week. Chalet spot on, everything you need. Home from home. Would like to come back. 5 star.

R and D    02/02/2019

We had a really lovely time in your beautiful chalet. We will be back.

Another great stay. Fishing excellent, bream at night, 10-15 every night - 6 lb pike and problem, broken up 30 times in 2 weeks but did manage to keep 6 on light tackle. Swallowdale has everything you need. Will book again for next year.

The B Family    06/10/2018

Too much to enter on here, except ‘HUGE THANKS’ we will enter a review on TripAdvisor once Home. Coming back next year.

J and G    22/09/2018

Once again we can thank you for the lovely cottage and its warmth. Last week the weather broke but we were able to relax for the days it rained. Fishing good, roach, bream and Pearch, but required a little coaching to get them to feed, Looking forward to returning next year. Thank you.

The C Family    01/09/2018

The lodge and location is brilliant. Weather was kind to us, went to ferry house for first time, will go back again. Pike fishing best ever, 38 pike, biggest weighed 21 lbs, also caught rare tench down by the fencing, hope to come back next year.

The W Family    25/08/2018

What a fab holiday home. Everything you could want and more. 5-star accommodation. We were lucky in that the weather was boiling and the night fishing was superb, as was the day. We love this place, will come back.

K, K, J and G    04/08/2018

This is the end of our third visit, had a great week fishing and sitting around, cottage as always fantastic, well equipped and clean, booked for next year again.

S, M and M    14/07/2018

Again a lovely holiday. Seven full days of beautiful sun to match the lovely location! Love this place, Swallowdale is the best ‘lodge’ on riverside. Thanks to Ian and Jo, see you next year.

The O Family    30/06/2018

Also had a great week. Excellent accommodation. Recommend Coldham Hall (across water) for good food - but not easy to find by road as sat nav does not recognise it! Hired boat for 1 day from Buccaneer Boats nearby, great day on water and nice to use river and get others perspective. Went to Norwich. Herons nest - heard chicks calling and saw herons supply but slightly out of sight, could just see nest sticks when wind blowing. Another pub for food - Ferry Inn - Stokesby. Thank you.

The C Family    16/06/2018

The accommodation and finishing touches is what all others should judge themselves against. Great holiday.

The W Family    02/06/2018

It’s always a delight returning to Swallowdale. The welcome basket is always a lovely touch. This is such a wonderful place to rest and relax. If the ducks come calling then swans, geese and other wildlife aren’t far behind. Thanks for another fabulous week. Back soon.

L and M    26/05/2018

Had a lovely time, couldn’t want for more, was more equipped here than our own home. Loved it. Thank you and thank you for the parcel of food.

The D Family    12/05/2018

Lovely holiday home. It is well equipped. The welcome pack was a bonus. The view is great.

J and G    05/05/2018

The first couple of days fishing were affected by the snowmelt. Saw otters. Beautiful setting, very comfy holiday home, so well equipped, even sharp knives! Ian and Jo have thought of everything.

L and L    17/03/2018

First few days fishing were great, then the snow and wind set in -18 degrees, the coldest we have ever fished in and caught nothing! Fabulous chalet, a home from home.

R and S    03/03/2018

Had a lovely week in this lovely well equipped cottage. Great views, great wildlife. Kids loved the ducks, geese and swans. Property was warm, cosy and well equipped with everything thought of. Extremely clean and tidy and welcome basket was a lovely touch. We were so lucky to find this little treasure only booking a day before coming. Thank you for the use of your property, we will return again in the summer.

S and A    17/02/2018

Had a really lovely break, everything we needed was here. Thank you so much for the welcome pack, such a lovely thought. Warm and cosy didn’t worry about the horrible weather.

J and T    13/01/2018

"Lovely" had everything we needed and more, warm and cosy, the best place we have stayed (have been in lots) also the best welcome pack ever. "First Class" thankyou.

Thank you. We had a lovely stay - chalet lovely with everything we needed - We even used the loungers on the deck for a couple of days - The welcome pack was a nice bonus. Thank you for help with the TV, we did find it hard to use but think that was down to our age. Thank you again.

Had a lovely week, lovely comfortable cottage, hard to find any faults. Thought of everything, from thread to the needle. Good illustrations for appliances. Fishing difficult due to salt tide, but overall a very enjoyable week. We will be back. 5 *

Our second visit to this wonderful holiday home. Had a fabulous 2 weeks (Don’t want to go home). Weather has been very good. It’s so peaceful just watching wildlife (and feeding it as well). Fishing was good, best fish a bream 2llbs. Will recommend to anyone (have done also to while we have been here to passers by). Welcome basket was a lovely surprise. I cannot praise this wonderful chalet enough, everything you need is here.

A and T    30/09/2017

We cannot thank you enough for letting us stay in your very comfortable and clean cottage. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise and much appreciated. The cottage is warm, well thought out, you just have to enjoy and relax while spending your time here. The fishing is superb, it was great to have a place to store equipment and bait (most days bream, roach, perch and 1 pike). Hope we will be able to return next year.

We struck lucky finding a free week late booking, the fishing has been a treat for our son, he’s loved it. A very relaxing place and we’ve already passed the details on to others. Thanks for the lovely thoughtful welcome goodies.

The J Family    02/09/2017

Another fantastic stay. It’s brilliant that the new owners have kept up the standards of the property, if not exceeded! Thank you so much for the welcome pack - very welcome indeed. Hired boat from Buccaneer again - lovely to be alone with nature! Thanks, Ian and Jo - hopefully we will return again next year.

J and R    27/08/2016

A blissful week away from work although the WiFi meant I was never that far away! But the welcome pack! It was very welcome!! And so generous. And the accommodation so well equipped too. Mixed weather - not into fishing so visiting local towns and villages. If you are into Cash in the Attic go to Acle on Thursday mornings and Horners Auction behind the big Budgens - fascinating. Today (Friday) an absolute scorcher and have turned bright red just from an afternoon outside!

D    13/08/2016
