Had such a lovely and relaxing stay at Evening Glory. Everything was clean and it was great to smell fresh bed linen when l went into the bedroom. Our grandson loved being able to fish virtually from the door and our dogs enjoyed being able to be included in all that we did. Lovely little cafe just a few minutes walk away which was lovely to pop into after walking the dogs and have a coffee. Will be looking to book again next year.

We have stayed at Evening Glory before. The cottage is wonderfully positioned on the banks of the River Yare.We find the cottage to be clean and tidy, comfortable and well equipped. We have had a very relaxing holiday and would definitelyrecommend this property to anyone visiting Norfolk. We will certainly be back in the near future. Brundall is a lovely village with all the required local amenities, including White Heron pub(approx 500 yards away) and excellent Chinese take away on The Street.

Great spot for fishing - roach on hemp and tare - great spot for sitting and doing nothing - reading / enjoying a few glasses Constructive feedback if I may ; The furniture could do with being replaced or cleaned the recliner and sofa are quite stained. The kitchen was well equipped, but needs a deep clean- floor especially. I spilt some Coffee on the floor within an hour of being there - when I used paper to mop up it was filthy. The bathroom could also really do with a deep clean and the shower updating. Beds comfortable and black out blinds really good especially in the heat. The view is phenomenal so much wildlife to see, very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the week but with a few tweaks it could be amazing place.
