The Location

Coltishall is a much-loved Norfolk village that blends a vibrant local spirit with the natural beauty of riverside living. Set along the River Bure, a light scattering of moored boats and gentle wildlife gives a nod to its connection with the Broads, though life here feels more about community and quality of day-to-day living. At the heart of the village, the Rising Sun is a true favourite; this popular riverside restaurant offers hearty plates and relaxed bench seating right by the water’s edge — on warm summer days, the buzz is so lively it's often a challenge to find a free spot.

Food lovers are spoiled for choice with the Recruiting Sergeant, a celebrated local pub offering excellent dining in a relaxed, characterful setting that's perfect for winding down. Everyday essentials are easily covered with the village Londis, which not only stocks a good range but also connects you to a variety of takeaway options for cosy nights in. For those who like to stretch their legs, Coltishall offers an enviable network of well-trodden walking routes, loved by locals and visitors alike, winding through pretty countryside and along scenic riversides.
