About this property
Catfield 2.4 miles. Tucked away in the beautiful centre of the Norfolk Broads in Hickling near Catfield, is this delightful, single storey property, The Lodge. Set in a fantastic location with 3-acres of grounds of the former Heath Priory, with easy access to the glorious coast, The Lodge welcomes couples looking to stay in this part of Norfolk. The open-plan living space offers a homely feeling, with a woodburning stove nestled in a brick fireplace, with a TV and sitting area for down time. Move over to the kitchen, well-equipped for preparing home-cooked dishes with an electric oven and hob, microwave (on request) and fridge, before gathering at the centre dining table for a feast. Whisk away to the super-king-size bedroom, dressed in a nautical theme with ample storage, along with a gleaming en-suite shower room. The Lodge benefits from its own private decking with seating and furniture, perfect for enjoying a spot of alfresco dining or simply chatting about the adventures to come. When you’re ready to explore, visit Hickling Broad and treat your loved ones to a delicious meal at the Pleasure Boat Inn or the Greyhound Inn, embark on a hike through the Hickling Broad AONB, where you can spot the local wildlife across a variety of terrain, including marshlands, wetlands, and waterways, as well as enjoy boating and kayaking within the Hickling Broad Nature Reserve. The nearby village of Catfield has a wider selection of amenities, including a Post Office with convenience store, The Crown II and Sarah’s kitchen. If it’s a day on the coast you fancy, there are a number of beaches within a short drive; take your pick from Eccles, Sea Palling and Happisburgh.

Between Barton Broad and Potter Heigham in Norfolk is the picturesque village of Catfield. The community has a Post Office with a well-stocked convenience shop, The Crown Inn, and Sarah's Kitchen, and it is famous for its ties to the boat construction industry and as the old vacation spot of poet William Cowper. To get some fresh air and take in the breathtaking surroundings, you may go for a trek or a bike ride in the Broads, which encircle the town. Moving forward, Horsey is home to the Horsey Windpump National Trust property, as well as Horsey Mere, Nelson Head, Poppylands Tearoom, The Hatch, and the golden sands of Horsey Gap. Great Yarmouth is the next destination, and it's packed with things to do including a sea life centre, an Elizabethan house owned by the National Trust, Great Yarmouth Beach, the Venetian Waterways, and Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach. Norwich Cathedral, the Sainsbury Centre, the Museum of Norwich at the Bridewell, and The Garden House are just a few of the sights worth seeing in this nearby city.
