A homely cottage set in a quiet location just under 1 mile from the edge of the Norfolk Coast AONB - the perfect place for a dog-owning family or group of friends to come together for a relaxing break in a welcoming environment, with an array of coastal and inland countryside attractions within easy reach. Offering a snug room, a spacious kitchen/diner and BBQ facilities, there’s something for all ages to enjoy, inside and outside, across the year.

Located in a quiet residential area and offering comfortable and individually-styled rooms across two floors, this family-friendly bolthole will feel like a home from home the moment you step through the front door. Let the youngsters commandeer the snug room while you set up camp in the separate living area, breaking away at meal times to come together in the airy kitchen/diner for long breakfasts, guilt-free lunches or a fish supper. Head off to the land of nod upstairs in either the first floor’s king-size bedroom, double bedroom or single bedroom, all of which are found close to the family bathroom. Outside, watch the children play with the dog in the enclosed garden while you set up the BBQ on the decked area - just the place to grab some sun and generally switch off.

Take a walk around the historic Georgian town of Holt (0.5 miles), which is renowned for its antique shops, galleries, dog-friendly pubs and eateries. Holt Natural Springs and Holt Country Park (both within 0.5 miles) offer acre upon acre of dog-friendly paths and mixed woodland the whole group can explore.

Beautifully presented cottage in a great location. Very short walk into town but in a really quiet cul de sac. One bathroom not an issue for us as mum and daughters trip but might be for a family of 5 or 6. Lovely garden with bird feeders - watched blue and great tit families fledging over the week. Gate to back of garden gives access to great woodRead morey area to walk dogs and further along, to Spouts Hill for a longer walk. Easy access to coastal road to travel either way along to other great walks and towns. Well be back! Hide

Excellent quiet situation for the North Norfolk coast. Holt is a few minutes walk away with great independent shops & eateries. Lovely dog safe garden & parking for two cars. Easy access to Cley, Blakeney & Wells with some National Trust nearby.

This cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed, we will recommend to friends and family. Great dog friendly garden and great location. Being able to nip into the shops when needed was also great. Great location for exploring the Norfolk coast and we would recommend the walk between Holkham cafe (nr the Pinewoods) to Wells next toRead more sea cafe. The return walk took about 1 hr 50 mins. We will definitely be returning to this cottage. We also tried Erics Pizza takeaway and the Indian which didnt disappoint. Hide

An incredible location - Holt is the perfect base for exploring the highlights of the North Norfolk coast, as well as being a great town in its own right. We enjoyed using the barbecue and borrowing the crabbing buckets and beach equipment generously shared by the owners.

This cottage was really lovely. Very clean and well equipped with modern decor and furniture. Garden was large and completely enclosed; suitable for the dog. Its location was perfect; very near the village but also very quiet. Great coastal towns & villages within easy reach by car.

Cottage was lovely, very spacious, and the garden was perfect. The property is only a short walk to the village for shops, cafes, and cosy pubs. Great dog walks nearby and only a short drive to various beaches!

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. Within a few minutes walk of the centre of Holt, but with plenty of parking and a large garden, it is ideal. The cottage is well furnished and very well equipped with all you need for a fully self catered break, but close to cafes and restaurants if you choose to eat out. I can thoroughly recommend itRead more. Hide
