  • 17th Century thatched cottage on the edge of the Norfolk Broads
  • Spacious enclosed front garden with garden furniture, perfect for enjoying the breath-taking views in front of you
  • Wonderful mixture of modern amenities and character features throughout this wonderful cottage
Property code: OC-W28802

Bring your happy hound for an adventure on the Broads, whether you want to get out on the water, enjoy runs on the beach or tour the beauty spots of Norfolk. Sleeping up to nine people, the charming cottage is perfect for large families and has an enclosed garden where your dog can sniff and play.

Glorious views from many rooms make this property really special, and inside it feels just like a home from home, with some low doors and ceilings that show off its character and age. Hang the lead up in the hall and kick off your walking boots before heading into the lounge, where a picture window reveals the stunning vistas. At dusk, draw the curtains, relax in front of the flame-effect electric fire and watch a film on the Smart TV. Store your pup’s food in the utility room and enjoy putting together holiday meals in the spacious kitchen, which you can enjoy together in the light-filled dining room. There’s also a shower room on the ground floor. When your chum is settled for the night, head upstairs to the four bedrooms and family bathroom. The second twin bedroom, accessed through the other twin, has an en-suite shower room. The lawned garden at the front is the perfect place for your furry friend to play while you indulge in some al fresco dining while watching the sunset. There’s a summerhouse, a garage with bikes you can borrow and even a rowing boat for your use.

The cottage overlooks the waters of Hickling Broad in the pretty village of Hickling Heath, from where you can set off on watery adventures. Just 4 miles away, the beach at Sea Palling is safe, child-friendly and allows dogs on most of its sands all year round.

The cottage is located in a lovely, peaceful position on the edge of Hickling broad. From upstairs the view is stunning. Large well maintained front garden to sit out in. Comfortable lounge. 2 local pubs. We tried the Greyhound and it was friendly with good food. Tescos at Stalham, within 10 min drive. Hickling broad visitor centre a few mins driveRead more away, where they have regular boat trips, and is a lovely nature reserve to explore. Hide

Lovely cottage, perfect for a relaxing holiday. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. A few sore heads due to low ceilings and being a tall family! Would recommend.

Lovely location - quite special if you like peace and quiet plus watery views. Some homely touches here and there, and the rowing boat is a real plus - as are the dog walking opportunities from your door. Remain alert to the various low doors, as even with care they catch you out !

Lovely warm, well equipped cottage in great location overlooking Hickling Broad. Enjoyed use of the rowing boat provided and saw loads of wildlife, eg, deer, kingfisher, marsh harrier and a grass snake swimming next to the boat in the broad. Some of the doorways are quite low, so there were some banged heads, but I didnt really notice as Im 54. AlsRead moreo loved playing table tennis in the garage. Very relaxing week, thank you. Hide
