Gather friends, family and furry companions for a big-group getaway at this pair of period properties. Each has a three-bedroom, three-bathroom layout, a striking open-plan living space and an additional mezzanine-level seating area, plus highly-prized parking for two cars. To ensure everyone gets in on the holiday fun, one dog is welcome in each house too.
Skilled renovation has turned this former meeting hall into a pair of on-trend holiday homes where old meets new in a most impressive manner. Dating from the 19th century, behind their brick-and-flint walls are double-height spaces decorated in chic, contemporary style. Both cottages have a handy utility room on the ground floor, and light-filled social spaces on the first floor. On the ground floor of the first property are two super-king-size bedrooms with en-suite facilities and on its first floor is a twin bedroom also with an en-suite shower. The second property has all three bedrooms on its ground floor: choose from a super-king-size with an en-suite shower room, a double with an en-suite bathroom with a shower, and a double bedroom, plus a separate bathroom. Extending the living area in each home is a spiral staircase leading up to a second, mezzanine-level seating area. Choose your teams and meet in the second property for games night – the mezzanine level here has a football table for hours of competitive fun.
Holt’s reputation as a destination for the discerning is due largely to its fine range of cafes, bars, boutiques, galleries and antique shops. Stroll into town and enjoy them at your leisure – each of the properties here comes with two allocated parking spaces – or for car-free adventures further afield, hop on the dog-friendly North Norfolk Railway to Sheringham (7.5 miles); the beach here has plenty of space for you all to stretch your legs. Discover a different type of coastal charm at Blakeney (5.5 miles), where boats transport visitors – and well-behaved pups – from the ancient quay to Blakeney Point.
