2 bedroom accommodation in Hickling
Lovely thatched cottage with wood burning stove and waterside garden leading on to Hickling Broad.. 2 steps to entrance.
Ground Floor:
Living/dining room: TV, Woodburner, French Doors Leading To Garden
Shower Room: Cubicle Shower, Toilet. Electric heaters, Economy 7 heating and electricity. Bed linen included. Garden with garden furniture. Private parking. Boat garaging. No smoking.. In a tranquil setting 4 miles from the beach and with inspiring views, this lovely, thatched cottage was once the studio of a well-known local artist. Surrounded by lawns and private water, which leads on to Hickling Broad. Comfortably furnished and well equipped throughout, the living/dining area also boasts a cosy woodburner and French doots that open directly onto a beautifully maintained garden. Enjoy a morning coffee sat at the table in the conservatory and look out over garden and water, or in the cooler evenings, snuggle up on the comfortable sofa in front of the roaring wood burner whilst watching your favourite TV programme.
If you fancy a day at the beach, Waxham is only 4 miles from The Studio. Here, you can relax on the deep soft sands whilst being surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. For wildlife enthusiasts, Hickling Broad is not to be missed. The largest of the Broads, you can easily spend hours trying to spot the many species of animals that call this area home.
Sitting on the River Bure, Wroxham is just 10 miles away and is known as the ’Capital of the Broads.’ Why not hire a day boat and explore the waters, where you can hop on and off and visit one of the many riverside pubs. Wroxham Barns is also a popular attraction, with its craft studios, art galleries, shops, fun park and petting farm. Good fishing, windsurfing and boat hire can be found nearby. Shops, pub and restaurant at Hickling (1 mile).
There is open water in the property grounds.

Could do with a bit of an update in side, but that said with the weather we had on our week we spent hardly anytime inside.
fly screens would be good as on hot days it gets very got inside.
Excellent place to relax and unwind away from the hectic life working in a city. Second time here and we love it and will be returning soon!!

One of the best locations on the broads.
One of the best locations on the broads. Fantastic for wildlife, boating and relaxing. Advertised "boat garage" was not available, chilly and paying electricity extra is odd.

The studio is such a beautiful cottage in lovely peaceful surroundings.
The studio is such a beautiful cottage in lovely peaceful surroundings. The view and the wildlife was amazing. It was very clean and comfortable. I rated it 7 for value for money because electricity was not included, I had to use my own WiFi which cost me extra, and it would have been lovely to have been able to borrow a boat or canoe from the the cottage.

Good location for wildlife and access to the water.
Good location for wildlife and access to the water.Good village community. An interesting place but getting a bit tired now. Starter pack for log burner ?.... A wet and cold autumn holiday made the studio feel cold so used alot of electricity adding extra costs
The cottage and setting were delightful with a good amount of space. But, we had difficulty getting the place warm to begin with (it was November) and the electric bill added to our costs. as heating was via night storage (not very efficient) and electric oil heaters -very expensive. In winter windows could have done with curtains rather than blinds to keep out cold and draughts. Lounge windows not double glazed - hence very cold as all windows were very large - great for watching wildlife of which we saw a good deal; swans, ducks, marsh harrier, Chinese water deer and some small birds. We would go back but in a warmer month!

Hard to say how wonderful the Studio is or it may get so popular we’ll find we can’t book again!
Hard to say how wonderful the Studio is or it may get so popular we’ll find we can’t book again! The peace of this location is very special with abundance of wild life on the doorstep. Watching the local sailing club weekly races, sitting on the terrace, or later in the year murmerations of birds overhead and then settling in the reeds have enhanced our visits over the years. Proximity to the nearby wildlife centre with electric boat trips on Hickling Broad, and the wonderful Roos’s wildlife boat trips on Horsey, add to the experience if you can stir from the Studio!
