Comfortable and cosy cottage with everything you need. We didnt receive a welcome pack but probably as we booked the afternoon the day before. Loo roll would have been appreciated though!! I spent my childhood in holt & this cottage is in a great location - its quiet even though near main Norwich road. Great to have parking - reversing out takes caRead morere its easier when the 2 other spaces are empty! We werent bothered by too many people walking down the lane to access Budgens (so handy for bobbing out to) via the gate or looking in from the other cottages at the back from their outdoor seating. Guess privacy might be an issue if all cottages were full. Holt has some fantastic pubs and restaurants. Try meadowsweet a few doors down if you want a blow out. Honestly the best Michelin starred restaurant Ive eaten in. Good lunch deals. Byfords being refurbed to be all restaurant space with no deli or take out so thatll be missed. The coast is just a few miles away. The cottage is a perfect base to explore everything north Norfolk has to offer. Hide

All we wanted and needed - a great escape - well presented, comfy (mattress, sofas etc), well equipped, super quiet for its location for amenities. The Owl Trail was novel. Only downside was Holt, as a town, lacks areas for a morning walk ie all parks were a 20min down busy main roads - or a car/bus trip away.

A lovely, well-equipped cottage in an excellent location. The parking outside is very useful, although access would be tricky for large cars.

Lovely cottage in a fabulous location, considering its in town it was very peaceful, my only issue was the double bed, very uncomfortable and so I ended up in the twin room after the first 2 nights but understand beds are very subjective, supermarket was just through the gate so very handy, lots of places to visit within a half hour drive, parking Read morewasnt an issue for us as the third car decided to park elsewhere so we just reversed in everytime and didnt have an issue, however if you have a big car it could be a problem!! We visited Sheringham on the steam train, a couple of NT properties, Cley next the Sea and Cromer. Byfords is fab for breakfast. Didnt use the outside area as not very private and seating a bit poor.

Cottage is in an ideal location for exploring the area. Holt is a lovely town with good shops. The Budgens supermarket is very close by. The cottage itself is very comfortable and provided all we needed for our holiday. Plenty of hot water and heating responsive when boosted. The parking outside is very useful but the access to the loke is narrow, Read morenegotiating between the wall and rubbish bins - you either have to reverse in or out - you do not reverse directly on to the main road, though, which is good.
