This lovely two-storey property is located in the rural market town of Holt and is perfect for couples looking for a romantic escape. Holt has plenty of attractions, including the splendid North Norfolk Railway (1.5 miles), which offers a choice of a diesel or steam train adventure to the market towns of Weybourne and Sheringham. Holt has plenty of history to discover, and the Holt Owl Trail leads you, among other hidden gems, to a 13th-century church.

This is a characterful cottage that retains its original charm with exposed brickwork fireplaces and blends this with stylish decor to create a wonderful, homely feel. With fresh, bright interiors and comfortable, contemporary furnishings, you can begin to relax as soon as you walk through the door. The open-plan layout is delightfully presented with a compact kitchen with all you need to prepare romantic dinners and a cosy sitting area to snuggle up in front of the wood burner on chilly evenings while watching your favourite box set on the Smart TV. An open steel and oak staircase leads to the king-size bedroom and a shower room completes this lovely couples’ retreat. Outside is a private courtyard with bistro furniture, ideal for a morning cuppa or evening sundowner.

There are plenty of nearby activities, so whether you like walking, cycling, water sports, surfing, fishing or golf, this part of Norfolk has got you covered. Explore the Deep History Coast Trail, which runs 36 miles from Weybourne (4 miles) to Cart Gap and stop at Cromer (10.5 miles) with its lovely beach along the way and try crabbing. The coastal villages of Blakeney for seal trips and Cley for bird watching are just five miles away, and Pensthorpe Nature Reserve is twelve miles. History buffs will love spending a day discovering Holkham Hall (14.5 miles).

I would highly recommend in visiting this lovely cottage. You got a lovely welcome pack on arrival and the location of where the cottage is situated was close to everything. The cottage is equipped with a great kitchen to cook in if did not want to go out. The bed upstairs was comfortable and the shower in the bathroom was great. We had a fantastiRead morec stay and the people in the restaurants and pubs were so polite and friendly. On our way back home on Sunday I had to contact the owner Anthony because we left two hoodies there and what a gentleman he was, very polite and willing to help to return our clothing. Well done Anthony you made my 50th getaway a great experience! Will definitely visit again! Hide

1 Starboard was absolutely beautiful. Spotlessly clean cottage and very well resourced. The welcome pack was just perfect. Every detail about the interior was so well thought out. We could not find fault with our holiday and would go back tomorrow. Highly recommended.

We loved the cottage and the location was great! Excellent having a designated parking place, albeit 100 m down the road. The cottage was also well equipped and stylish yet very comfortable. The bed was particularly comfortable. Josh, the owners son was excellent in sorting out a few minor niggles when we arrived and made us feel very welcome.

We had three nights at this cottage and loved the location and practicality of the accommodation. It is perfectly situated in the centre of Holt but tucked away from the high street so it wasnt too noisy, except a few cyclists grabbing an early morning coffee from the cafe across the street. We arrived just in time to get fish and chips from AlbertRead mores Fish Bar a few doors along, which was excellent, and it was great to have a free parking space. The cottage was clean and very well presented throughout, with a nice terrace at the rear. We would happily stay here again. Hide

Amazing cottage which we have stayed in numerous times over the years. It's played a huge part over the years to relocate to Holt Norfolk from Nantwich in Cheshire. This final stay in the cottage for a couple of nights as we completed on our house purchase was very special due to the cottage being such a special part of the journey over the years.

Anyone visiting North Norfolk should use this cottage as the perfect base for enjoying such a lovely dreamy little market town so close to the coast. Hide
