Property code: OC-L29121

Set within the vast estate of Holkham Hall, you’re well-positioned to seek adventure on the Norfolk coast when staying in this spectacular country cottage. Holkham Hall itself is a hive of activity with a treetop ropes course, grazing deer and a pretty lake to explore, while the wider coastline stretches out in front of you to experience with walks, bike rides, nature trails and restful beach trips. Holkham Beach is less than half a mile away and offers a stunning setting for a picnic. The property itself is a luxuriously presented cottage inviting four guests and up to three dogs to call it their own, ideal for small families or a duo hoping to enjoy a little bit of extra space.

Maintained with period features yet elevated to create a contemporary place to stay, this abode really does have it all. Move past the handy ground-floor boot room and into the lounge after a day out, immediately throwing a log or two on the wood burner to warm up cold toes and switching the Smart TV on. Next door, find a dining room for mealtimes or board game nights, and a well-appointed kitchen adjacent to that. Of course, when the sun shines you can take socialisation outdoors, benefiting from enclosed, grassy surroundings with a drink in hand. Back indoors, pass the ground floor WC on your way up to the first floor where two bedrooms are found – a spacious king-size room and a cosy twin, both served by the invigorating bathroom with a freestanding bath.

Moving out of Holkham, the neighbouring locale of Wells-next-the-Sea (1.5 miles) is an appealing destination with a pretty harbour and fleets of fishing boats gently bobbing away in the water. From here you can plot a route along the famous Norfolk Coast Path to discover all that this national landscape has to offer.

Lapwing Cottage became newly available in summer 2024 and as we had stayed at some of the other Holkham properties, were keen to try this one. We booked for early December as near to Lady Anne's Drive, the beach, bird hides etc., as this is the peak time of year should you be interested in seeing the spectacle of all the Geese roosting and feedingRead more on the marshes nearby. It was an excellent choice, the property was just perfect in location and has been beautifully refurbished with quality flooring, doors, furniture, sofas etc. It felt very homely especially with the log burner on each evening although the heating system was extremely efficient too. I imagine if you were a family of 4 this would be the perfect summer location too, with enough space for everyone, garden, parking, dog shower outside and the beach nearby. We really loved staying and are already booking for spring next year. Hide

We had such a fantastic time at Lapwing Cottage. The location was absolutely perfect - a short walk to the beach, right opposite the Victoria Inn and a short walk to the Hall. The cottage itself was so homely and welcoming. It had everything you could need! We loved having a fire in the evenings.

A lovely cottage which has been done up to a high standard. Ideally set up to take a dog with outdoor dog shower, enclosed garden and hard floors downstairs and numerous excellent walks on the doorstep.
