Escape to this charming Victorian cottage with friends or family, offering a delightful retreat for those seeking to immerse themselves in the natural splendour of the Norfolk Broads National Park. With its red-brick facade, cosy living room and pretty courtyard garden, enjoy a peaceful getaway in this picturesque rural location.

Step into this characterful abode and instantly feel at home with the perfect blend of old and new. Make your way to the lounge and kindle a warm ambience with the wood burner. Move through to the well-appointed kitchen, where you’ll find a bistro table for a quick bite on the go. For larger gatherings, the dining room features another wood burner, creating a cosy atmosphere on chilly evenings as you gather around the table. There’s also a gleaming ground-floor shower room for your convenience. As the day draws to a close, retire to the first floor and enjoy a restful night's sleep in the king-size bedroom, twin room, or single room which also features an additional foldaway bed.

We very much enjoyed our stay at The Cottage. It's very cosy and comfortable, well equipped, and spotlessly clean. It was very peaceful, surrounded by open farmland. Saw small heard of deer in field across road most evenings, and regularly heard foxes and a tawney owl. It is in good location to explore East Norfolk and the Broads. Hickling is wondRead moreerful, and quite unspoilt. Hide

A lovely little cottage in a great location, with lots of attractions and activities within cycling distance (and the bonus of having a lockable shed for storing our bikes). Being an old cottage it is lovely and quaint and has low ceilings and doorways (a few bumped heads during the week!) It had all the equipment we needed and was nice and clean.

Warm and cosy cottage in easy walking distance to Hickling Broad and a good pub. Walks and cycling from the door, perfect for kayaking the Broads. The high water levels at the moment make this end of the Broads incredibly peaceful as the large boats arent getting under Potter Heigham bridge.

A really well equipped and cosy cottage. The location is perfect for exploring the Broads and the east coast. The village is very peaceful with an added bonus of a traditional (friendly) pub. All in all, an excellent place to stay.

We loved this cottage, it was well presented and clean and comfortable. Lovely quiet location, close to NWT nature reserve on Hickling Broad and also not far from the local beaches. Saw hares and muntjac in the surrounding fields. Within walking distance of local pub.
