You will find plenty of wildlife to enjoy around the lake and the cottage. A short stroll from the cottage is access to Weavers Way (a dismantled national railway footpath).
Lovely sandy beaches at Sea Palling, Happisburg and Mundesley all only a short drive away. The nearby town of Stalham has all the essential amenities like newsagents, local shops, banks, chemist, takeaways, pubs, and a Tesco with fuel garage.

Why they chose this property
I fell in love with the cottage at Ruston Reaches on first sight due to its lovely peaceful setting and perfect location for visiting both the broads and the coast. I immediately felt relaxed with lovely views and plenty of wildlife from the back of the cottage and in surrounding area. It is beautiful place to visit whatever the season.
