Offering unparalleled views and breath-taking sunsets. This double-storey property is designed to provide a luxurious and comfortable stay for guests seeking a memorable riverside retreat.
Sit back and unwind as you watch boats glide by and keep an eye out for local wildlife from the pergola, decking or the cosy comfort of Flag House.
Bringing your own boat? You can moor right outside! Don’t forget your kayaks and paddleboards to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of the Norfolk Broads. If you prefer to rent, day boats and canoes are available locally—and as a guest, you’ll receive a discount on canoe hire. We highly recommend pre-booking to avoid disappointment.
For fishing enthusiasts, river fishing is just a few steps away at the bottom of the decking. A bait fridge is provided in the shed—ideal for keeping bait fresh and storing fishing equipment.

Flag House holiday
Lovely property, Furniture is good quality. Good for dogs. Enjoyed sitting in the pagoda and on the decking. Great views from the upstairs lounge and the dining table. Tina the Manager was very helpful and changed towels for us as we stayed for 3 weeks. Used the takeaways it is a shame the fish shop is closing end of March 2026. The White Heron restaurant and The Hermitage in Acle were both very good.

Stunning property
This house is truly stunning and the team ensured fantastic attention to detail including treats for our dogs.
The property is gorgeous and spotlessly clean. The location was fab directly onto the water with sensational sunrises and sunsets.
One recommendation we would give is to have the decking enclosed with a gate so that dogs/ children do not make a break for the water :)

Brilliant short stay
Our second short stay with Norfolk Holiday Lodges this year and we are already looking to book next year for a longer stay. Both Lodges we stayed in were spotlessly clean, well fitted out and in a beautiful location. Our first stay was in River Retreat and we were so impressed with everything we managed to get an extra day stay. When we got home we booked another weekend this time with the Flag house and like River retreat it was spotless through out it had everything we could possibly want and an excellent view of the main river. I cannot praise this holiday firm enough. Tina was a great help and kept in touch to make sure all was well. Would give it 6 stars out of 5 if I could.

Wow
Flag House is perfectly located on the banks of the river Yar & enjoys afternoon sunshine which is perfect for watching the numerous birds & sailing craft.
Everything has been provided to a very high standard, from the comfortable beds, the soft furnishings, bathroom/en suite & well equipped kitchen.
