Treat yourself, your partner and your best four-legged chum (after all, they deserve a holiday too, right?) to a touch of charm at this one-bed cottage in central Holt. With quaint flintstone exteriors, the spacious interiors are contemporary and finished to a high standard – but still feel really welcoming and comfortable. This delightful, terraced cottage is ideal for any couple wanting to discover the North Norfolk coast. When you’re not out and about, soak up some rays in the suntrap courtyard, affording a bijou outside space with good privacy.
Step into this thoughtfully laid-out cottage into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can keep dog towels to hand – just in case. This stylish room feels really modern, with a statement wood burner in the exposed red-brick chimney and an unusual staircase. At one end, the sleek kitchen has all you’ll need for rustling up meals to eat at your very own table for two or open the back door and dine alfresco at the bistro table. Upstairs, the boutique-style king-size bedroom features the continuation of the gorgeous red-brick chimney breast but is otherwise simple and uncluttered for a deluxe vibe.
Sniff out the quirky independent shops in the streets and alleyways of Holt, admiring some of its gorgeous Georgian architecture as you go. Holt is right on the edge of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a large area boasting fantastic beaches, breathtaking clifftop walks and views plus thrilling wildlife. Head to Blakeney (5.5 miles) and sign up for a seal-spotting boat trip at certain times, but do be mindful and check dog restrictions. Or sightsee with a difference aboard a steam or diesel train on the North Norfolk Railway which travels from Holt to seaside Sheringham. And, yes, dogs pay their very own Rover fare!
