I would highly recommend in visiting this lovely cottage. You got a lovely welcome pack on arrival and the location of where the cottage is situated was close to everything. The cottage is equipped with a great kitchen to cook in if did not want to go out. The bed upstairs was comfortable and the shower in the bathroom was great. We had a fantastiRead morec stay and the people in the restaurants and pubs were so polite and friendly. On our way back home on Sunday I had to contact the owner Anthony because we left two hoodies there and what a gentleman he was, very polite and willing to help to return our clothing. Well done Anthony you made my 50th getaway a great experience! Will definitely visit again! Hide

1 Starboard was absolutely beautiful. Spotlessly clean cottage and very well resourced. The welcome pack was just perfect. Every detail about the interior was so well thought out. We could not find fault with our holiday and would go back tomorrow. Highly recommended.

We loved the cottage and the location was great! Excellent having a designated parking place, albeit 100 m down the road. The cottage was also well equipped and stylish yet very comfortable. The bed was particularly comfortable. Josh, the owners son was excellent in sorting out a few minor niggles when we arrived and made us feel very welcome.

We had three nights at this cottage and loved the location and practicality of the accommodation. It is perfectly situated in the centre of Holt but tucked away from the high street so it wasnt too noisy, except a few cyclists grabbing an early morning coffee from the cafe across the street. We arrived just in time to get fish and chips from AlbertRead mores Fish Bar a few doors along, which was excellent, and it was great to have a free parking space. The cottage was clean and very well presented throughout, with a nice terrace at the rear. We would happily stay here again. Hide

Amazing cottage which we have stayed in numerous times over the years. It's played a huge part over the years to relocate to Holt Norfolk from Nantwich in Cheshire. This final stay in the cottage for a couple of nights as we completed on our house purchase was very special due to the cottage being such a special part of the journey over the years.
