This characterful holiday home is in the charming village of Holme-next-the-Sea, within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The large property sleeps eight guests and is ideal for family get-togethers and holidays with friends, with a choice of social spaces and a vast, enclosed garden where children can play. Nearby days out include Norfolk Lavender, the Royal Estate at Sandringham, and Holkham Hall (all within 15 miles).

The spacious family home is decorated in a contemporary style and has a spacious, open-plan layout. On the ground floor you’ll find a vast kitchen/diner with everything you need to cater for a large group, along with a dining table for sharing mealtimes together. This room opens into an impressive conservatory overlooking the garden – the perfect spot for a post-dinner chat over a bottle of wine. Two versatile family bedrooms are located on the ground floor, one of which has an en-suite shower room. A stylish bathroom completes this level. Upstairs, you’ll find the main lounge, which enjoys far-reaching countryside views and also boasts a cosy wood burner, plenty of comfortable seating for everyone, and direct access to a delightful balcony. Also on this floor is a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Outside, the vast, enclosed garden is laid to lawn, and has a football goal and table tennis for your entertainment. Next to the house you’ll find a sunny patio with picnic benches for al fresco dining.

Holme-next-the-Sea is a pretty coastal village with thatched cottages and a welcoming village pub. Holme Beach is considered one of Norfolk’s hidden gems, and rarely gets crowded, even in the height of summer. Enjoy afternoons on the beach, building sandcastles or splashing in the sea, or pack a picnic supper and head down in the evenings to witness one of Holme’s iconic sunsets. Just 3 miles along the coast is the Victorian resort of Hunstanton, where you’ll find a myriad of family attractions, shops, eateries, and a long, sandy beach.

The cottage was clean and well equipped, we found everything we needed to be on hand. Loved the location and particularly the close proximity to the beach. Our two little dogs enjoyed exploring the garden and made themselves quite at home in the conservatory. The bedrooms were very comfortable and clean. We would have no hesitation in returningRead more. Hide

We had a lovely weekend in a spacious and well equipped house. Some of the outside doors are hard to operate and the bathrooms need updating. It's in a good location close to the coast, shops and pubs.
