This one-bed, terraced property in Holt benefits from classic flintstone-cottage good looks outside, with trendy interiors that are both comfortable and contemporary. It’s the ideal place to retreat to as a couple – not forgetting your four-legged third wheel, naturally. De-stress in the light and airy open-plan living space or spend long evenings dining alfresco in the cute courtyard. Lead the way to adventure, as the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is on your doorstep with country and coastal villages and walkies.
Leave handy dog towels by the door as you enter the modern, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with attractive and practical wooden flooring. Sink into the sofa in front of the cosy wood burner in its exposed red-brick chimney. Off to one side is a sleek, well-equipped kitchen, with a table for two and an external door behind them both, tucked slightly under the statement staircase. Upstairs, the sleeping quarters comprise one elegant king-size bedroom with an ornamental fireplace in the red-brick chimney but otherwise simple and light decor. Outside, your four-pawed friend will love to sit with you in the fully enclosed courtyard with furniture for dining alfresco.
Go mutts buying treats from the quirky independent shops and gallery in the alleyways of Holt, admiring its gorgeous Georgian architecture as you mooch with your pooch. Or hop on the Poppy Line for a steam train ride that your canine friend can enjoy too. Leave no stick unfetched in the 100-acre mixed woodland at Holt Country Park (1 mile). Depending on the time of year, Blakeney (5.5 miles) offers boat trips to see grey seals, but do check dog restrictions. Treat yourself to fish and chips or a Cromer crab dinner in Cromer (10 miles), after having a ball with your VIPs (very important pups!) on the beach.
