Cottage Details

When You Arrive

Park your car in the driveway. (There is room for three cars.)

The access door to the cottage is to the right hand side of the cottage, through the small picket gate..

Enter the cottage to the vestibule. This is the perfect room to pop your outdoor clothes and shoes and also contains a freezer, microwave and storage and gives you wonderful views across the fields towards the local stables.

The field you can see from the vestibule is owned by Heath Cottage owners.  Their field is used (free of charge) by the local Hickling animal charity FAITH and they have some very happy horses that make great use of the field.

The door on the other side of the vestibule gives access to the back garden via a stable door (which is ultra secure for your dogs).

Enter into the

Kitchen

This is a beautifully fitted kitchen, with every kitchen appliance and tool you could think of, or need……Truly something for everyone!

Our lovely owners have taken great care to ensure that your holiday is carried out in style and comfort. For the chefs among us, there is no excuse not to cook up a storm with the wonderful copper based hanging pans in easy reach!

There are lovely views from double aspect windows, and you can enjoy this at the table for two.

Then up the ‘Norfolk winder’ stairs.   These stairs ‘wind’ round, so if your feet are a little larger, be careful on the slimmer steps.  Do have a little caution as Norfolk stairs can be steep.

It has been dog proofed to a very high degree with all surrounding border bushes post and wired and picket fence to side and rear of the garden. The garden is laid mainly to grass with camelia bushes, apple and pear trees and many lovely features.

A restored dovecot can also be found in the garden.

Reactive Friendly Award Details

3 Star⭐⭐⭐

Heath Cottage is a 3 star Reactive Friendly Pack Holidays cottage.  Here are the reasons why, but also more importantly, what aspects of the cottage may not be suitable for your reactive.   Heath Cottage is situated in a very quiet part of Hickling (a rural Broadlands village).  There is a field on one side and whilst there is a neighbour on the other side of this detached cottage, it cannot be seen either from the house or garden and to date (in 4 years) we have had no noises from there.  The garden is very secure with 9 feet hedging on one side, supported by mesh to the height of 5 feet and wooden fencing front and rear of the back garden, and to the right hand side high hedging blocking the view of the field.   There are some nice quiet walks nearby including Weavers Way (a 5 min walk from the cottage) and some nice bridle paths out of the village.   There is no farmland surrounding Heath and we have had no reports of bird scarers in 4 years.

Whilst passers by may walk past the front garden, this cannot be viewed from the rear garden and we are quite confident there is very little for scared/reactive dogs to react to.  

There is no shared fencing/adjoining house and there is no well travelled coastal path/path walk passing the property.    The garden does not look into another property and is not overlooked.
