Very clean and well furnished cottage. Wi-Fi was good, plenty of hot water and easy to operate the heating if we needed a boost, location is great- right at the heart of Holt and only 15 mins or so from various costal locations. Only downside is that there is no parking next to the cottage. Its true the public car park is only a 5 minute walk at moRead morest but was just a slight annoyance when arriving and then departing or if we got back to the cottage after bring out all day only to realise wed left something in the car! This didnt spoil our stay however and a good holiday cottage all round Hide

Had such a wonderful NYE break here, and loved every minute of it exploring Norfolk, there is so much to do and see along the coast line. The cottage was a great base for us and so close to the town centre/shops/pubs. Its a great home from home and we will be back as soon as possible.

Love the North Norfolk area and this visit certainly didn't disappoint - explored lots of beaches, Brancaster, Wells, Holkham and they were all beautiful. Our son loved the high wires at Holkham.

We really appreciated the lightness, cleanliness and comfort of the cottage. We would particularly recommend Holt country park and the woods around Felbrigg Hall for dog walking in the heat. Natural surroundings, some wild flower gardens near Letheringsett were a delightful discovery.
