Whisk your favourite person – and your faithful four-legged friend – away to this charming cottage tucked into the lively market town of Holt. Sleeping two in one beautifully styled bedroom, it’s a welcoming base for couples keen to explore North Norfolk’s coast by day and return to town comforts by night.
Step inside the cottage and you’re greeted by a snug sitting room blending contemporary touches with period character. After a day of seaside rambling, settle into an armchair while your loyal companion curls up nearby, then head through to the sleek kitchen to prepare dinner. Later, stretch out on the sofa with a film for a restful evening in. Upstairs, a light-filled king-size bedroom awaits, finished with timeless furnishings for a peaceful night’s sleep. The stylish bathroom includes a rainfall shower as well as a handheld attachment, providing a refreshing start to the day before heading out for more seaside adventures. Roadside parking is available nearby, subject to availability.
Holt itself is brimming with independent shops, galleries and tempting places to eat, many of which are happy to greet a well-behaved hound. From here, you can set off for bracing coastal walks and wildlife-rich landscapes. Cley-next-the-Sea (4 miles) makes a lovely morning outing – wander past its iconic windmill, browse the village stores and head to the nature reserve for birdwatching with your canine friend trotting beside you on the lead. Wells-next-the-Sea (12.5 miles) has a bustling harbour and a vast sandy beach backed by colourful beach huts (specified dog zones), while Holkham (13.5 miles) is home to a sweeping shoreline famed for its appearance in Shakespeare in Love.
