Tucked beside a peaceful lake just outside Holt, this off-grid yurt is designed for couples or solo travellers seeking a laid-back retreat in the Norfolk countryside. Sleeping two in one open sleeping area, it makes a cosy base for exploring the coast, countryside and nearby nature reserves.
Arriving via your private parking area, head inside the yurt to find a stylish open-plan interior with rustic-inspired decor, a sloped ceiling and a wood burner at its heart. The kitchenette is located just outside on the adjoining deck, making it easy to prepare simple meals before dining together outdoors or indoors. After dinner, settle beside the fire before heading to the double bed for a restful night’s sleep. In the morning, make use of the undercover outdoor shower on the deck before enjoying your coffee alfresco. The lakeside setting is all about slow moments outdoors, whether that’s cooking on the charcoal BBQ, reading in the hammock or gathering around the firepit as the evening draws in.
Spend the day spotting wildlife such as deer, woodpeckers and robins in the 100-acre woodland of Holt Country Park (1 mile), or head into Holt (3 miles) for Georgian streets, independent shops, galleries and cafes. For a slower-paced outing, Felbrigg Hall (10 miles) combines historic interiors with landscaped parkland, including its notable library of thousands of books. Nearby, the North Norfolk Railway (2.5 miles) runs steam trains from Holt to the seaside town of Sheringham. Don’t miss the Norfolk Broads National Park either, 20 miles from your door.
