Great property, really clean, great location as just a short walk into Holt town, Really well equipped, Quite a small outside space but not really an issue as green areas for dogs around the area. Stairs are quite steep so probably not suitable for people with mobility issues. Would highly recommend this property.

Beautifully appointed cottage only a couple of minutes'walk from the town centre. Reserved parking is a few minutes walk away, but unloading is possible in front of the cottage and there was space around the back to store our bikes. Great cycling down quiet roads directly from the property.
