Property code: OC-1534

An elegant seaside cottage surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, situated on the fringes of Holme-Next-The-Sea on the magnificent North Norfolk Heritage Coast. This stylish hideaway is perfect for a couples retreat or family getaway with a couple of waggy-tailed amigos in tow. Energetic pups can dig, roll, and wave-chase to their little heart’s content on the sweeping dune-backed shores of Holme Beach (1 mile). Bask in your beautiful surroundings with an al fresco supper on the sprawling lawn.

This well-presented property boasts an inviting country interior. Imagine stonework detailing, feature arched windows, and light-flooded social spaces. Bound along the stepping stone pathway to the front door then towel down your muddy hound before heading inside. On balmy afternoons, take advantage of the fabulous conservatory bathed in natural light. Throw open the patio doors and enjoy the gentle summer breeze drifting inside as you unwind on the sofas. Adorn the wooden dining table with an indulgent spread then dive in for a celebratory feast. Potter in the sleek kitchen and perch at the glossy stone breakfast bar with a coffee or rustle up a hearty supper for you doe-eyed dogs. In cooler months, pad into the lounge and sink onto the large leather seats with a brew or warm chilly paws by the crackling wood burner. Retire to the two tranquil sleeping areas along the corridor, consisting of a bright double and an adaptable king-size/twin bedroom. After ball-throwing antics in the wrap-around garden, catch some morning sun as you indulge in breakfast on the patio.

Venture to the coastal village of Thornham (1.5 miles) and scamper along the secluded circular trail ‘Anna’s Walk’ winding through lush woodland, glistening salt marshes, and the secluded sandy bays. Feel the wind in your fur with an afternoon amble on the shoreline of Brancaster Beach (5 miles) and sniff out the shipwreck ruins or inhale the fragrant scents of the purple fields at Norfolk Lavender (5.5 miles).

Gorgeous property, beautifully decorated and well equipped. Weve stayed twice now and already have a booking to return in July. We love the location, nearby walks and the local farm shop is absolutely fantastic. The cozy living room was decorated for Christmas which was much appreciated.

The property is elegantly furnished and was always comfortably warm with plenty of hot water. The garden is spacious, fenced and therefore ideal for dogs. The garden room with its glass roof was particularly impressive. We even saw migrating pink-footed geese! Location is very good with only a short drive to the nearest beach.

The cottage was under-resourced. Small bath towels ( had to buy large ones), no replacement bin bags ( had to buy) no RinseAid that seemed needed by dishwasher which did not appear to have recommended 7 as a setting....hand washed everything. The second bathroom so distant from bedrooms was awkward and not in a good position directly off lounge.

On the whole everything was perfect only downside we could not walk from the property due to no path therefore had to use the car every time. Couldnt just walk the dogs, road too dangerous.

Property was extremely comfortable and wonderfully warm. Perfect. Only negative is the road. It is the busy A149 without pavement so rather scary to negotiate particularly with a dog.
