  • Beautiful first-floor apartment surrounded by Norfolk’s pretty beaches, nature reserves and villages

Property code: OC-H29992

This beautiful one-bedroom apartment nestles in the peaceful village of Holkham on the edge of the Holkham National Nature Reserve, offering a splendid coastal base to couples with their dogs in tow. Lovers of all things heritage and nature should visit nearby Holkham Hall (1 mile) where 25,000 acres of landscaped gardens, a tranquil lake and even a deer park await. To uncover the region’s coastal beauty, stride out along the Norfolk Coast Path which can be joined 0.5 miles away near Holkham Beach. Along this route, uncover other stretches of golden sand such as Sand Dunes Beach and Wells-next-the-sea Beach (both within 2.5 miles). When in Wells-next-the-Sea (2 miles), take some time to visit the port town’s quaint harbour. For a taste of local life, head to the picture-postcard towns and villages of Burnham Market, Holt, Cromer, and Mundesley (all within 30 miles).

On arrival, take a moment to soak in the tranquil and verdant surroundings before stepping into this delightful first-floor apartment to find a stylish and welcoming base for your Norfolk adventures. The open-plan living space combines the lounge, kitchen and diner, which is flooded with natural light and decorated in a chic and cosy style. Unwind in the lounge after days of coastal walking, flicking on the Smart TV as you settle into the soft seating. When it’s time to eat, find that the kitchen boasts all the equipment and space needed to cook up a romantic feast for two, perhaps using the local ingredients you sourced on your travels. Enjoy the chef’s work inside at the table, or when the weather permits, dine alfresco in the lawned garden. At the end of each busy day, retire to the sumptuous double bedroom which is served by a well-appointed bathroom.  

Outside, the lawned garden makes it easy to unwind and embrace your verdant surroundings. Start each day with a peaceful brew here and end it with an al fresco meal and evening tipple. Private parking for one car is available, as are on-site bike hire facilities.

Nice cottage, very steep steps upstairs though not suitable for older guests, difficult to take all our luggage up.Clean and cosy but no way near enough cutlery especially if cooking meals. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We can confirm that we will discuss this with the owner.

Holm Oak Hideaway 2 is in a great location in Holkham village and not far from the beach down Lady Anne's Drive but also with easy access to the Hall and Estate. Lots to explore. Perfect for a couple. Sadly the Hall and Walled Garden had not opened for the season when we stayed but the Courtyard Cafe and the Beach Cafe were available. The apartmentRead more is on the first floor and the stairs which would have been for the original cottage when it was one; were relatively steep as common in older properties, so may not be suitable for anyone who finds steps difficult. However that means it has good views. Great little storage/vanity area in the bedroom complete with mirror and lighting. The toiletries were from the estate (and available in the gift shop if you are tempted). Large fluffy towels too. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped but would have benefitted from for example a small mixing bowl, colander and a cheese grater. The outside bistro table and chairs are in fact with Holm Oak 1 and not accessible by the property but there was a bench seat. There was parking permit for the estate which included one of the car parks in Wells and discount in the estates shops/cafes. The Victoria which is on the opposite side of the entrance drive to the property is a restaurant/hotel and needs to be booked advance, unless you are a hotel guest or have a meal booking be aware there is no bar in which to pop in for a drink. However, Adams have a shop just up in the village which is well stocked with both beer wine and a few snacks. There is a bus stop no distance from the property which is very frequent and gives access to the coastal villages. We took our vintage bikes for a test run on the quiet estate tracks but bike hire is available on site. Would love to return. Ms G and Mr W, March 2024 Hide

A lovely light and airy apartment, comfortable and well equipped with wonderful marsh views. Steep Norfolk winder steps to be aware of but, we soon got used to them. Fabulous location - 10 minutes to the beautiful Holkham beaches and a similar time to the park and its numerous attractions (open late March) and walks. Next door to 'The Victoria' toRead moreo. We plan to return! Hide

Lovely cottage, fabulous setting close walk to the beach and Holkham is beautiful. Be aware though that if like us you are taking a dog, the garden is not securely enclosed as it has a very low wall and low fence. We had to keep our pooch on a lead.

A really beautiful property in the equally beautiful setting of the Holkham estate. The apartment was on the first floor so has lovely views and was cosy and warm. Very good range of coffee table style books left for us to read, a TV and a few board games. Spotlessly clean and modernized inside. All the equipment you would need for a short stay Read moreand reasonable storage. The bedroom vanity area had a mirror and plugs in all the right places for hairdryer etc. Very comfy bed but a bit short for a tall husband! The kitchen was well equipped with good quality items including an air fryer, coffee machine and microwave. The Holkham toiletries were from Holkham estate and really lovely. The owners also left a parking permit for the estate and a discount card for the shops. There was a wine shop behind the property which had a huge range and also gifts, and the country outdoor wear shop was equally well stocked with good quality items. Plenty of secure parking around the properties. The Victoria opposite is lovely although we didn't visit on this occasion we had been before and recommend it. Holkham beach is only a short walk down the road too. We would definitely consider staying in one of the properties again when in Norfolk and would recommend this property. Hide

Our stay at Holm Oak Hideaway 2 was very enjoyable. The facilities in the apartment were modern, clean and tidy. The location is the best weve known for exploring the north Norfolk coast. Little touches of locally sourced food and books were very well thought. We would very much recommend a stay here.
