Overview
Property code: OC-2186

This splendid two-storey cottage, situated in the heart of the Georgian town of Holt, is a delightful hideaway for couples looking for a restful countryside holiday close to the stunning Norfolk coast. This property is a great choice for foodies, with many eateries serving the finest local produce. In addition, there are boutique shops to explore and art galleries. Leave the car behind for a local walk or head less than a mile to discover the 100 acres of woodland at Holt Country Park.

Step inside this charming cottage and your eye is taken by a cosy sitting area with an exposed brick fireplace that houses a wood burner. The layout is open-plan, so the conversations can continue even when preparing romantic meals with the best local ingredients in the compact kitchen. After dinner, you can snuggle up on the sofa and catch up on your favourite box sets on the Smart TV. The property is beautifully styled, so you can unwind and rest in this home-from-home. You will find a king-size bedroom and shower room on the first floor. On fine mornings the courtyard with bistro furnishing provides a lovely spot to enjoy your morning brew or relax and reflect with a cool drink in the evening.

Holt is an ideal base for exploring the best local Norfolk attractions. Discover more about the area's history at Blickling Hall (10.5 miles), a Jacobean Mansion and the birthplace of Anne Boleyn and boasting a beautiful garden. Sheringham Park (5 miles) has a thousand acres of woodland and parkland with plenty of marked trails. Alternatively, head to the coast at Holkham Beach (14.4 miles) and walk along the white sandy beach.

Starboard cottage was in an excellent location , so close to all the amenities in Holt and just a short drive from the coast. The cottage was cosy and very comfortable , perfect stay for two people.

We had a lovely week in Holt, and certainly wish to return to 3 Starboard at some time in the future. Just two negatives: we would have appreciated more detailed instructions on how to operate the central heating, as we are not familiar with Hive. (We are now!) Secondly, we feel that the bin store is a problem: although the car parked by the doRead moreors left plenty of room to open the doors, this didn't leave enough room for the bin men to collect the rubbish which was piling up and getting rather smelly.

A lovely renovated cottage in the centre of Holt. Fittings were of a high standard and it was clear that the owner had used local shops when buying kitchen equipment. Big fan of supporting local. Lots of equipment to eat in or lots of cafe's if you want to eat out. Also not far from other attractions in area. Parking area was good also.

Property was fine but cold stone floor could have used some rugs. Original choice of property withdrawn the day after I paid the balance was frankly unacceptable. Refund not paid in accordance with my instructions.

We very much enjoyed our stay at 3 Starboard. It was clean, warm, well-appointed and the location was excellent for our purposes. On a practical note we had to go out and buy jcloths; washing up brush and dishwasher tablets. It was not until the end of our stay when we were looking for the pIastic bags for the dirty linen that we found a small Read moreblack sealed box without label under the sink with these items in it. It would have been helpful to have the black box clearly marked and signalled in the information folder. For winter guests, blinds on the back door and a rug would be desirable extras. Hide

The design of cottage has been ingeniously thought through, so despite its small footprint it feels remarkably spacious. It is very well equipped. We would love to return.

Cottage was well equipped, and in a fantastic location, with dedicated parking. Very well equipped kitchen, with smart TV. Being picky only points that could be made are that there was no full length mirror and the fridge motor was a bit noisy, otherwise very good and would recommend.
