2 Bed in Hickling (oc-2052)
Set in the picture-postcard Broads village of Hickling just 1/2 mile away, this cosy 19th-century cottage is a wonderful choice for two couples or a small family. Two bedrooms sleep up to four guests in this single-storey retreat, and there is lots of space to enjoy some well-deserved R&R, whether curled up in the lounge beside the glowing wood burner, reading a book in the light-filled conservatory, or sunbathing in the pretty courtyard garden.
Make yourself at home on one of the sofas in the inviting lounge and stoke the wood burner on chillier days. You’ll have no problem finding a quiet corner in this cottage, as there is also a sunny conservatory, which doubles as a dining room. And in the kitchen, you will find everything you could possibly need to prepare feasts for the whole family. Retire for the night in either the comfortable king-size bedroom or the restful twin. Both have their own en-suite shower rooms for added indulgence. Step out into the enclosed garden when the sun is shining and enjoy the fresh country air – a BBQ is also provided if you fancy dining alfresco.
An abundance of scenic walks and local pubs surrounds this cottage which is situated in an exceptional position for discovering the great beauty of the Norfolk Broads National Park, with Hickling Broad only 1/2 mile away. The Norfolk Wildlife Trust is on your doorstep offering interest as well as pleasure boat trips. If the sea is more your thing, the beaches of Sea Palling and Waxham are not far either, at 3 miles from the door. For those looking to explore, Norwich city, renowned for its Norman castle and majestic cathedral, is 19 miles away and makes for a fun-filled day of sightseeing, shopping and dining.
