The town of Holt is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed holiday in North Norfolk. An elegant Georgian town with a real community feel to it, guests staying here will have an excellent range of shops, restaurants, and coffee shops right on the doorstep, ideal for popping out for a relaxed lunch or dinner. The North Norfolk beaches await, Holkham, Sheringham and Cromer, along with the harbour town of Wells-next-the-sea, whether you fancy scenic walks, leisurely boat trips, or just a day of sunbathing and beach games. Bird watchers will enjoy the nature reserves at Blakeney and Cley.

The front door of this brick and flint cottage opens directly into the open-plan living space, with the lounge area situated to the front of the room and the kitchen area towards the rear. A wood burner-effect electric fire keeps the room lovely and snug in the cooler months, when guests may like to spend their evenings with a takeaway in front of the Smart TV or watch one of the many DVDs. Holt boasts many restaurants, but for those who prefer to cook, the kitchen offers a good range of equipment including an oven, hob, microwave and fridge. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, the first of which is a cosy double room with a lovely restful feel to it. The second bedroom, meanwhile is a peaceful single room with a day bed. The bathroom offers a bath with shower over  and WC and is finished with local flint tiles, adding a touch of character to the room. 

A parking space for one car can be found opposite the cottage along the narrow driveway, and there is also a small outside seating area with bistro table and chairs, giving guests a pleasant place to sit out with al fresco eating and drinks.

Our second visit to this property, we just love Holt, and the location of this cottage is superb, right in the centre, within a short walk to the shops, pubs and restaurants. We take our small Skoda Fabia, which fits perfectly in the parking space, and find that we can turn the car round when the other two car users are out.

We loved the cottage, very well equipped and comfortable. Welcome pack with everything needed immediately plus special treats. We were amazed that completely invisible, a path through a hedge just along from our cottage led straight into the Budgens car park and on through another walkway we found ourselves in the centre of the town.

Nicely presented, comfortable small cottage with some nice detail. Close to town shops and facilities. Some good walks from the cottage and short drive to coast and Cley, Blakeney and Sheringham. Cottage parking a bit tight but OK with our small car (Toyota Yaris).

We spent 3 nights at number 3 carpenters cottages and thoroughly enjoyed it. The location was perfect for visiting the North Norfolk railway, Felbrigg Hall, Cromer, Blickling Estate and the Bure valley railway. We found the cottage perfect for 2 people and we self catered and everything we needed was available and worked. The weather was wet and coRead moreld but the cottage was cosy and warm for our evenings in. We loved the welcome pack and all instructions were easy to follow for bins etc. We stayed at a quiet time so did`nt find the parking a problem as some reviews have stated but could see a problem if you had a large vehicle but we were in my toyota yaris and it was fine. Holt is a lovely place with independent shops and a Budgens store at the back of the cottages. We had a great short break. Hide

Everything was first class, very well equipped and clean with a welcome pack and even an umbrella in case of rain. This is the fourth Carpenters cottage we have stayed in and No.3 is the best. Thank you and we look forward to a return visit to explore more of North Norfolk

Stayed at this cottage in Holt when visiting the Thursford Christmas spectacular and the Cromer end of the pier Christmas show. This was a perfect location, extremely comfortable, tucked away but 2 mins from the town centre, it does say parking for a SMALL car, my wee yaris was just right. While I was there we had frost, strong winds and snow, I diRead moredn't need to tuch the heating at all. Most likely my favourite cottage so far, after going to North Norfolk for many years.

Everything was excellent. Had to do a 10 point turn to get my Toyota Yaris Cross in and out of the small parking space, but managed fine. Apart from that, it was perfect and I would recommend the cottage without hesitation - could happily live there permanently! A wonderful short break to stunning North Norfolk.
