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.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely weekend spent here. Everything from the booking process to the check out was made stress free. Accommodation was very spacious, we were a group of 7 adults and enough space to enjoy it. Great location, walking distance to shops and pubs. We hired a boat for the day wuich made our stay even better. Would reccomend this place to anyone.

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.

Fabulous
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.

Perfect house, great location
Brightside is a lovely spacious house, finished to a high standard. Very comfortable and clean. Nice quiet location and only a short walk into town. We hired a boat for a couple of days which we were able to moor at the bottom of the garden. Made use of the rowing boat too, which is a nice little extra. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Hope to return in the future.

Perfect property in Great Location
Stayed here June 2019, Brightside was spotlessly clean. It had everything you could wish for. Beautiful kitchen, with everything you need. Bedrooms have comfortable beds and plenty of wardrobe space. Outside nice garden with access to river for fishing, and for those that need it easily accessible Wifi.
Short walk to shops restaurants etc.
Peace and quiet at its best.
Cannot praise this property highly enough.

Lovely place but missed final touches to earn 5 stars it deserves
The Brightside is a lovely house and has all the attributes to have a 5 star rating it deserves!
It is perfectly located and the house itself is what most people dream of with the beautiful garden to relax in by the river.
We really enjoyed our stay and enjoyed a quite relaxing break.
I have given the stay a 3 star rating based on the 3 reasons below, however I would highly recomend Brightside but feel these are things that should/need to be addressed to get it the rating the house deserves.
When I first walked in the property there was a funny smell from the upstairs which leads you to a bad first impression. Im not sure what it was and as the stay went on you dont really notice it as much, however it was present at all times.
Without wanting it to sound harsh, the beds was like sleeping on a stone and we found it extremely uncomfortable, which is a shame as the view from the bedroom was amazing to wake up to but feel this is an area that has been scrimped on.
The only other slight complaint would be the lack of finishing touches, for example salt and pepper, tea and coffee supplied, for the money it is to rent I feel that this should be basics that are supplied for your stay or even just enough for you to make a coffee when you arrive

Brightside - My Home away from Home
Modern, Luxurious, spacious and beautiful house. brightside had everything we needed for a fantastic family getaway. Spent the day on the broads and the Owners Paul & Mel were on hand to assist in with all elements of the weekend from suggestions and information regarding boat hire.
Having stayed many times in the previous property before it was rebuilt Paul & Mel have done a fabulous job at keeping the homely feel including great wifi and a unique wood burning fireplace.
Will defiantly be returning for another relaxing getaway and of course a trip to Roys and some fantastic local pubs.
Highly recommend.
Conor.
