Property code: OC-88678

This stylish holiday home is in the peaceful village of Briningham. The property sleeps eight guests and is ideal for large families and groups of friends, with several social spaces and a gorgeous garden for al fresco entertaining. The market town of Holt is 5 miles away and offers a fantastic range of eateries. You’ll also be close to some of North Norfolk’s finest beaches, including Cromer and Wells-next-the-Sea (both within 15 miles).

The contemporary barn conversion has an open-plan layout. Enter the bright and airy lounge/kitchen/diner, where you’ll find a sleek kitchen area with a breakfast bar, as well as a large dining table with benches. After dinner, curl up in the snug area, or retire to the sofas to warm your toes by the wood burner and watch the TV/DVD. There are three bedrooms – one with an en-suite shower room - on the ground floor, all of which have direct access to the garden. Completing this level is the family bathroom and a handy utility room. Upstairs, there is a second lounge with relaxed seating, a desk should you need to catch up on emails whilst away, and doors opening onto a balcony. The final bedroom – a king-size with an en-suite shower room – is located on the first floor. The enclosed garden has a lawn and a patio area with ample seating and a BBQ for outdoor dining.

Spend a relaxing afternoon pottering around the Georgian town of Holt, admiring its spectacular architecture and browsing in the cute boutiques and galleries. Keen walkers will enjoy a visit to Holt Country Park, just outside the town, where you’ll find a 100-acre woodland full of nature trails and picturesque picnic spots. Cromer (14.5 miles) offers the traditional seaside experience, with a fabulous sandy beach, Victorian pier, gift shops and amusements.

A really beautiful cottage and ideal for our 3 generation family holiday. The bedroom with 3 single beds was perfect for the grandchildren who loved having their own space to share. The downstairs space was big and flexible; the kitchen was very well equipped; bedrooms and bathrooms were well set up. The upstairs playroom was a real bonus and we veRead morery much appreciated the toys and games. A good location, quietly situated in the countryside but within easy reach of walks, beaches and woodland. Hide

Fabulous huge property, lovely enclosed garden, well equipped and very comfortable. If you are in the downstairs end bedroom you will certainly get your steps in! Easy to find, space for two large cars.

This cottage is lovely and comfortable. We had a great time relaxing by the fire and enjoyed the peace and quiet. The beds are comfy and warm and the kitchen is very well equipped. We visited the coast most days and went on some lovely (if chilly) walks.

The cottage did not have an adequate heating system for the size of the property. It stated that is was luxury but the kitchen was tired and the wrap was peeling from the dishwasher door and some of the walls and skirting were shabby. No wood was left for the wood burner and I was informed that only wood for one fire would be supplied and I should Read moreobtain and pay for my own wood should I want to use it. I do not think it was value for money so would not recommend the property or revisit. Hide

Lilybe is a beautiful, spacious , well decorated house with enough room for our multigenerational family. The kitchen and utility room are very well equipped .
