HICKLING - Newly Renovated for 2025 GREAT FISHING SPOT
4 of 8 houseboats
Broads Lodge Houseboat with Larger Balcony to look onto the River.
Set in their own relatively private and quiet area, our houseboats are the ideal location on the River Ant to experience the beauty and tranquillity the area has to offer. The Broads is home to a huge variety of the rarest wildlife - greater than any other national park in Britain - and the stunning landscape has become a ‘must-see’ for visitors.
Our newly refurbished houseboats sleep up to 6 guests. Dog friendly
(dogs must be kept on leads when they are outside of the boat at all times)
The main living area offers a deceptively spacious lounge/dining area, with tv, dining table and chairs and a fully equipped kitchen.
There is a double bedroom and also a twin bedroom, each sleeping 2 guests, and each with views out to the water. Double sofa bed available on request located in the living room.
For those guests who are looking to explore the area by water, but do not have their own equipment, we are also able to offer rowing boats, for a one off charge of £50, for your stay we will provide you with all the necessary safety equipment needed.
Parking is included (up to 2 cars) and the location is perfect for easy access to many attractions in the area by car or bicycle. So, whether you are just looking for a quiet stay at the waters-edge, maybe to include some fishing, or wish to take advantage of the local beaches, adventure parks, theatres, castles, historic houses, lighthouses and much more, this is the perfect place for you.
In summary, the modern interior and exceptional location of our houseboats provide everything you could need for an enjoyable and memorable stay.

FISHING INFO
NO FISHING 15 MARCH - 16 JUNE
The River Ant. The Ant is unique as it is the only Broadland 1 river which actually feeds a broad. It enters at the northern end of Barton Broad, where one may take the courses upstream by boat to Honing Lock and floods in and out at the southern end, giving the broad colour and an ever-changing circulation of fish. Particularly roach and bream
Fishing here can be rewarding during the winter months, but sessions in summer should be kept to late evening or early morning as the boat traffic may prove frustrating even this far upriver, bank access being extremely limited. About half a mile downriver from Tonnage Bridge, Dilham Cut joins the main stream from the southern bank. There is good fishing all the way up this navigable channel to Taylers at the top end, where navigation ceases at the road bridge carrying the Honing to Dilham road. Species to be found here are shoals of medium-sized bream to 4 lb. rudd, perch, fair roach and numerous pike.
Fishing licences are required for every angler aged 12 years and over, for use of a maximum of two rods on each occasion.
