Enjoy a memorable stay in this historic former workhouse in Holt where the coast and countryside are within easy access for you and your canine companions to run wild and free. After a day of adventure, head home for a meal together, or to unwind and catch-up in the pretty lawned garden.

This single-level property opens into a vaulted living room/diner which has plenty of charm with an exposed brick feature fireplace and quaint windows, retaining many of its original features. Comfortable seating options fill the living space, positioned around a TV and a wood burner to create a cosy ambience. There is also a dining table for four where meals can be served and enjoyed together. The kitchen has a homely feel with warm tones and everything you could need to cook up a feast for all the family. Continuing through the property, there are two bedrooms furnished with matching wardrobes, drawers and bedside tables and designed to be restful spaces. Finally, the family bathroom completes the property, boasting both a bath and a walk-in shower for a quick refresh in the morning or a long soak in the evening. Outside, the enclosed garden has a lawn and patio where humans and four-pawed friends can spend time together outside, making the most of the sunshine.

With the coastline just 4 miles away, Holt is a fantastic base for couples or families to enjoy the best of both worlds with the seaside, beautiful woodland and countryside all within easy reach. The Georgian market town of Holt itself offers a plethora of shops, dog-friendly cafes and restaurants ensuring guests on two legs and four can enjoy a fantastic day out. Head to Holt Country Park for over 100 acres of woodland where dogs will have a ball, or visit the beautiful beaches of Wells-next-the-Sea and Cromer to stretch your legs on the sand all year round.

Nice cottage in good location. 10 mins walk into town. All on one level and ideal if you have mobility issues. Parking ok and nice garden to sit in if weather permits. There was two of us and we had plenty of room and storage. Didnt use the second bedroom. Lovely clean fresh bedding and towels. Welcome pack on arrival was appreciated

No electrical item instructions. Draining board does not drain, make sure to clean it after each use. Would not recommend for 4 people, second bedroom is very small, bed against wall, no wardrobe and room very dark. But very comfortable for 2 people, close to town centre and North Norfolk Steam Railway! Driveway quite awkward, needs patience to negRead moreotiate. Hide
