The cottage is in a great position for walking into Holt and a good base for enjoying the Norfolk Coast. The cottage has parking which is a must in such a busy town and a little garden which we would have enjoyed if the weather had been kinder.

This is a nice property close to the centre of Holt in a quiet setting. Well equipped the house is generally in good order. A new frying pan needed as the existing one doesn't work on the induction hob. Also the second bedroom is VERY cosy. The single beds cannot be pulled apart and it could be awkward for friends to be sharing - ouples or kids onlRead morey. Hide

Lovely, comfortable cottage in a safe, residential area only ten minutes walk from the interesting town of Holt. We did the Owl trail through Holt town on our first day which was great! We discovered the history of the town, the architecture, great places to eat & drink as well as some beautiful boutiques & art galleries. We used trains & buses durRead moreing our stay which were very easy & convenient. The Holt steam railway is also only a 15 min walk from the cottage which runs into Sherringham. Hide

Cottage in good location for exploring the Norfolk coast, but feels it does require some improvements ie. decoration, Large oven not working, TV kept loosing signal, Garden requires attention not very inviting to sit outside. . Nice welcome pack thank you.
