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.

This property is lovely although a little tired but it was homely. It has a large safe garden for dogs and children and the amount of toys for little ones was great, the goal post in the garden, the slide, table tennis in the garage, go kart, small bikes, bucket and spades plus more. The beds were really comfortable with good mattresses. A bit disaRead moreppointed that there was broken glass by the side of the conservatory, why didnt the previous occupants pick it up together with all the cigarette ends they just flicked around. Also the gate at the end of the garden couldnt be used as the pathway was overgrown. A good welcome pack left thank you. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We will ensure that everything is back in place for the next guests. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for walking and being able to come with our two little dogs was great. We enjoyed the upside down nature of the house, particularly at dusk and dawn when the barn owls were out and about. The wood burner was a welcome addition and we enjoyed cosying up in the evening with a glass of wine.

The bathrooms are a little dated & getting to grips with the storage heaters took us a minute but didn't spoil our break at the coast. Hide
