This delightful fisherman’s cottage is located in the heart of Blakeney, set within an Area of Outstanding Beauty. The Quay is just a stone’s throw away, which provides ample opportunities for walks, crabbing and visiting local restaurants, as well as for venturing along the coastal path to Morston or Cley-next-the-Sea. This home is also the perfect base for enjoying day trips spent sailing and birdwatching, and children will love going on a boat trip and spotting the seal colony at Blakeney Point. Venture inland to visit the elegant Georgian town of Holt and lose yourself among its many antique shops, art galleries, boutiques and book shops. After a day of activities and taking in the coast’s colossal beauty, return home for a meal alfresco in its large garden and an evening spent playing board games or chatting around the fireplace. With Blakeney Deli and The White Horse gastropub just a short stroll from your front door, this charming cottage and its location tick all the right boxes for a memorable coastal escape.

This charming barn conversion borders the Blakeney National Nature Reserve, where you’ll find sprawling wetlands, sand beaches and the area's native seals. If you’re hoping to visit the seals, Blakeney Point is home to both the common seals during the summer months and grey seals during the winter. There's something for everyone on this stretch of the North Norfolk Heritage Coast, no matter if you prefer sea swimming or walking along the shore with the dog. Try your hand at crabbing, visit the 15th-century brick-vaulted undercroft of Blakeney Guildhall, or soak up the rural mentality with lunch in a cosy local pub.

After a long day exploring your Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there's no better spot to unwind than this inviting homestead. Select a bottle of wine from the wine cooler and sink into the cushy sofa with a book from the shelves, or rustle up a comforting dinner with the local produce you picked up from the fishmonger. This beamed and contemporary space has a calm and characterful feeling – gather around the dining table for coffee and board games or plan today’s hiking route. In the summer, host leisurely breakfasts outside in the morning sun and dine alfresco under the evening stars.

Charmed in the Country

Part of a series of converted barns, this romantic bolthole combines original features with modern touches, from exposed brick walls and skylights to exposed wooden beams and underfloor heating. 

The home is set in the Norfolk village of Langham and is only a short distance from some of the county’s most beautiful sights, including two nature reserves, coastal marshes, and a grand stately home, Holkham Hall. 

Here you can take a break from modern life and get back to nature, with ample nature walks passing right by your doorstep and the sandy beaches of North Norfolk close by. When you don’t feel like cooking in the modern kitchen, Langham’s pub is only a short walk away, while the seafood restaurants that line the coast are well worth the quick drive.


Avocet’s Nest

As cosy and quaint as you'd expect a cottage to be, this Victorian one in the heart of Blakeney is brimming with charm. Everything from the farmhouse-style kitchen to the wood-burning stove adds a rustic homeliness that might not be to everyone's taste but adds to the comfort here. Norfolk Coast explorers will find Salhouse Beach an eleven-minute drive away, a nice segue to discovering dotted gems further up and down the coastline. And it wouldn't be right for a traditional brick and flint house to not be within walking distance of a quintessentially British pub, which you can find alongside other shops. Though there's no parking available, a car is advisable to make the most of your stay.

The Great Country Cottage

Desk / Workplace

The word 'cottage' doesn't do this home justice. Contemporary luxuries and sublime views across the marshes to the sea from inside, coupled with lovely grounds outside, make this a dream place to share with your family or a group of friends. Each bedroom has a unique aesthetic, so run in and claim yours first – we'd bag the master bedroom with its sea vistas. Come morning, make yourself a drink, leisurely take in the stylish interiors, and open the kitchen's French doors onto the gorgeous patio. There's plenty to keep you occupied here, such as an electric piano or play some table tennis and pool in the games room. 

The outdoor spaces are a feature of the home. The top area is fully enclosed with mature planting and features a stone terrace on two levels. Then there’s a gate to the lower garden with gentle sloping lawned area, and best of all there’s a small path between the two gardens that leads down to the Norfolk Coastal Path for the use of local residents.

Once you can bear to tear yourself away from this home, explore your town base of Blakeney and its harbour, marshes, and sweeping pretty landscapes. Keen walkers will love the North Norfolk Coastal path to Morston, a combination of sea breeze and stunning views. The Norfolk coast has so much countryside to see – drive for twenty-five minutes and discover historic Holkham, which has award-winning beaches, a deer park, and a fruit farm where you can pick your own berries.

This charming cottage will be a hit with those who love being out and about in the fresh coastal air. Sure, the home is on the small side and the narrow staircase means it won’t suit those with restricted mobility. That said, with a host of restaurants, shops, the quayside and the coastal path on your doorstep, exploring the local area and spending time in the great outdoors is a must. For cycling enthusiasts, bring your bike along to explore the coastal trails – there’s lockable storage here.

Situated in the charming coastal village of Salthouse, this cosy cottage is perfect for a family looking to get away from it all. With its comfy sofa, warm wood accents, and a log-burning stove, the living space commands curling up with a hot cup of tea and a wedge of local treacle tart on grey days. But when it’s sunny out, make a beeline for the garden and enjoy a picnic on the lawn or a spot of afternoon tea at the dining table. 

If exploring is on the cards, take a ten-minute stroll through your neighbourhood to the Salthouse Marshes – keep an eye out for Spoonbills feeding in the pools. Stop off at the Dun Cow pub on the way home for classic British fare or jump in the car and drive for twenty minutes to Cromer to pick your way across the sandy beach and enjoy fish and chips by the pier.  

Marsh Mallow

Nestled within North Norfolk’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), this family home makes the perfect setting for an adventurous stay by the sea. And with its location in the unspoilt conservation village of Salthouse, there’s everything you could need to experience the charm and character of this special region. 

Set across two floors, the owners have thoughtfully styled this home to feel like a peaceful sanctuary. From the natural tones and textures to the simple furnishings, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of welcome. 

Downstairs, the open-plan living and dining room invite you to enjoy candlelit dinners around the table and cosy movie nights or games by the fire. Head upstairs and you'll find the serene bedrooms feature beautiful views across the village toward the glistening shoreline – ensuring you feel refreshed and ready to explore.

From here, it’s just a short cheery walk into the village where you’ll find a great local pub and shop for any amenities you might need. And for explorations further afield, days can be spent embracing the waves on the nearby sandy beaches of Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham (both a short drive away).

Set on the first and second floors of a converted chapel, this apartment has everything you'd expect from a refurbished church – a grand entranceway, stained glass windows, ample living spaces and soaring ceilings. Just take those traditional features and combine them with hand-picked antiques, a playful colour palette and one-of-a-kind art pieces, and you've got this quirky hideaway in the heart of Holt. We're absolutely smitten with the whimsical vibe, be it the seashell feature wall in the master bath, the vintage furniture in the downstairs lounge or the collection of cutesy crockery lining the kitchen walls. There are a lot of modern conveniences too, including a Bluetooth speaker, two flat-screen TVs and a remote-controlled shower. And the location couldn't be better – on your doorstep are Holt's charming shops, cosy pubs, quaint cafes and local art galleries. After a day strolling through town or exploring North Norfolk, come back home to fire up the barbecue in the garden for an alfresco meal. Then unwind with a soak in the tub or pop a vinyl on the record player as you relax on the sumptuous sofas, a glass of bubbly in hand.

Nestled in the village of Field Dalling, this traditional brick and flint converted barn features exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and large windows through which you can gaze out onto the beautiful Norfolk countryside. The barn has a charming walled garden bursting with shrubbery and featuring an outdoor dining table that catches the evening sun. Spend lazy afternoons catching up on your reading while the kids run around in the expansive fields that surround this charming home. If you fancy venturing out, just make the twenty-seven-minute drive to Holkham Beach and explore the picturesque villages, cheery pubs and excellent walking trails that this part of the country is famous for. After a day exploring, return to your cosy cottage, for a relaxed evening in front of the wood-burning stove. Knock up a hearty meal in the country-style kitchen – to be enjoyed out on that divine, private patio. 

Field Gurn

Character and cosiness abound in this single-storey home, situated in the heart of North Norfolk's AONB. At first glance, your eyes will be drawn to the wooden beams and vaulted ceilings. But it's not all old-world charm – you'll find plenty of 21st-century comforts dotted across the cushy bedrooms and ample-sized living areas, all ideally sized for groups. 

Home chefs will love preparing Sunday lunch on the Aga stove, and the summer room is a sweet spot to savour your morning coffees and afternoon teas. Meanwhile, bookworms can curl up in front of the wood-burner with a well-thumbed read from the host's personal collection. 

The whole house wraps around the courtyard, creating a private, sunny space to kick back and relax alfresco. Whether you fancy breakfasts in the fresh sea air, cocktail hours at sundown or barbecues beneath the starry night skies, you'll want to spend all your time basking in the Norfolk breeze.

Location-wise, you're just a stone's throw from Salthouse's pebble beach, but if you prefer sandy shores, Cromer, Wells-Next-the-Sea and Holkham are all within easy reach. Head to Holt, only three miles away, for Georgian gems – independent shops, inviting cafes and delicious restaurants – or drive ten minutes to Blakeney for a bit of seal spotting. Later on, swing by the village pub down the lane for brilliant food and local ales – the perfect close to a busy day on the coast.

Is there anything more quintessentially British than staying in a converted pub? We don't think so. Dating back to 1715, this Grade 2 listed ale house in the North Norfolk town of Holt is a delightful escape. Recently refurbished, the owners have taken great care to restore the original wooden beams, brickwork and fireplaces. We love the bedrooms, all named after teas. After a busy day, there’s nothing better than relaxing in front of the wood burner with some fish and chips from across the road. And of course, pour yourself a pint. You're in a former pub after all.

Surrounded by bustling bars, cafés and shops, you'll have plenty to do in the area. Spend the day strolling through the village – we recommend browsing the local art galleries or having a spot of afternoon tea at one of the many tearooms (there's a charming one right next door). If you're longing for sea and sand, drive fifteen minutes and you'll reach Sheringham Beach and the Norfolk Coast. 


Ale House Dreams

Set within an exquisite Grade II-listed house, this palatial apartment blends country elegance with modern style. We loved the floor-to-ceiling windows, which flood the open-place space with natural light. With ground floor access to the beautiful shared garden, you can walk straight out to enjoy a tranquil morning sat around the terrace coffee table, or spend an afternoon having a picnic on the green. Located within walking distance to nearby shops and pubs, you’ll be able to explore the charming village of Binham.  Everything is steeped in history around here, but the early-twelfth-century Benedictine priory is a must-see. Luckily, it's so close you can spot it from the bedroom windows.

Tucked away in the market town of Holt, this cottage’s natural stone facade makes a pretty great first impression, but wait until you step inside. With real attention to detail, the home perfectly captures both the rustic comfort of a cottage and the modern-day furnishings you’d expect from a holiday accommodation, and throw in some nice nautical elements just to remind you that you’re near the coast. 

And not just any coastline either. Skirting the Norfolk Coast of Outstanding Beauty, you can use this home as a base for exploring Holkham Beach, Sand Dunes, Brancaster Beach, and more, all under an hour drive away. 

Closer to home you can visit Salthouse Beach and return to the comfort of this home after. If you’re windswept, why not warm up with a soak in the tub, followed by a cup of coffee in front of the wood-burning stove in the cosy living space. 

The generous kitchen has more than enough space for a few pairs of helping hands, so tackle meal duties together and enjoy the result at the farm style dining kitchen. Spend evenings playing board games or watching movies together until heavy lids and tired feet lead you to bed.

Of Salt & Stone

Approached through a gated entrance and onto a gravel drive, everything about this place is pretty special. Tucked away in a select group of Grade II listed buildings, this home may be historic but it's modern and stylish inside. The living room is the heart of the home, with comfortable furnishings, and there's a smart kitchen with a walk-in pantry and a pretty dining nook with bench seating for six. With everything thought of, there are books and games for rainy afternoons and outside a lovely lawned garden and barbecue patio for when the sun shines. On the edge of the Georgian town of Holt, it's an easy walk to the shops, pubs and restaurants, and just a short drive to the Norfolk coast and the towns of Sheringham and Cromer.  

Manor Mews

Set amongst two acres of private gardens at the end of a quiet country lane, this beautiful barn offers style and comfort for larger groups. Dating back to the fifteenth century, your hosts have lovingly renovated the entire home with contemporary design elements while retaining much of its original character. Flint feature walls, exposed trusses and double-height ceilings are enhanced by glass walls and elegant hardwood floors for a holiday home that brings modern living to an effortlessly elegant setting. Set across three floors, there’s plenty of space for guests to spread out. Play a few tunes on the grand piano, escape to the spacious garden for a peaceful moment, watch a film in the entertainment room and dine alfresco on the veranda. You can play boules, croquet and table tennis, and there's a tennis court available at neighbouring Hindringham Hall. In the summer, enjoy your pick of seasonal bounty from the fruit and vegetable gardens, and ensure you take the half-hour drive down to Holkham Beach. 

Fox & Hounds

You'll find this flint cottage right in the heart of Field Dalling – a rural town set back from the North Norfolk Heritage Coast. Located within an AONB, you’re perfectly placed for hiking the trails and spotting the wildlife in Blakeney National Nature Reserve, sighting the basking seals on a seal tour through Blakeney Point, or strolling the shores along the heritage coast. 

The options for seaside excursions are endless, but when you're ready to put your walking feet up, come home and relax in this charming and modern cottage. The luscious garden is an excellent spot to soak up the last of the day's sun or stretch out on the plump sofas with a glass of natural wine and the crackling fire. Fix up a comforting dinner in the kitschy kitchen or, if you're not in the mood to cook, grab some fish and chips from your local. We can’t think of a better way to end the day than with a soak in the freestanding copper tub before sinking into your sheets and the log fire flames dancing away in the background.  

Flint & Copper

Cosy and practical, The Printer’s Den is a welcoming home base for a romantic getaway weekend or for longer stays. The generous living room is warmed by an eco-friendly fireplace, with large sofas for you to sink into while you watch your favourite films. Soak your cares away in your bedroom’s freestanding tub, then whip up some dinner in the well-equipped kitchen. Or, leave it to the professionals and head out one of the charming pubs and restaurants on Holt high street, only a two-minute walk away. 

There’s much to love about this village – check out the buzzing cafes and shops selling local produce, and have a wander around the 100-acre Holt Country Park. You’re also only a ten-minute drive from the scenic North Norfolk coastline, where you’ll find nature reserves, beautiful seaside towns and wide, sandy beaches.

The Printer’s Den

Built back in the 19th century, this quaint cottage is nestled away in Cley next the Sea, just a short walk from Cley Windmill as well as the heart of the village. Being in one of north Norfolk's most picturesque coastal spots, this home is a short drive from the Norfolk Coast AONB, where you'll find plenty of seaside strolls and cycle paths to explore on. It's a traditional cottage made with brick and flint, and is ideal for those who want a quintessential British break, with a cosy open fireplace, gorgeous garden and classical cottage interiors.

Cosy in Cley

This Grade II Listed cottage has a fantastic location right in the centre of Wells-next-the-Sea. Do some beachcombing on Wells-next-the-Sea Beach (around twenty minutes on foot). Then, afterwards, have a stroll along the Quay, a one-minute walk away, and enjoy some fish and chips or pick up some catch of the day from the pretty harbour. There are plenty of local pubs and restaurants, as well as a delicatessen, butchers and fishmonger within a five-minute stroll. Take some local produce back to this lovely home, prepare a meal in the modern kitchen, and then savour it at the table in the sunny courtyard. Or when the weather turns chilly, light the log burning stove (your lovely host provides a starter pack of logs in the colder months) and relax with a glass of wine on the sofa. This stylish cottage is everything you would want from a seaside retreat – we love the original features, such as the old beams, which blend beautifully with the chic furnishings. With so much out and about, too, you’ll probably need to book again to fit it all in.

Guillemot

Surrounded by rolling green meadows and within easy reach of Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham, this place is ideal for families looking to escape to the coast. With all the comforts of home, as well as a cosy wood-burning stove and an outdoor dining area equipped with barbecue, you’ll feel right at ease here. Plus, the private garden is a wonderful sun trap, with views across unspoilt countryside and a bench where you can enjoy your first coffee of the day. 

It’s a leisurely fifteen-minute walk into town, where you’ll find an assortment of places to eat and shop, and a twenty-five-minute stroll across the fields to Wells-next-the-Sea Beach. For days out, the stunning Holkham Hall estate is less than a ten-minute drive away, and the popular seaside towns of Sheringham and Cromer are reached in less than forty-five minutes.

All's Well That Ends Wells

Those 19th-century farmers knew what they were doing when they built these two divine cottages tucked away in the sleepy Norfolk village of Wighton. Now joined together and exquisitely reimagined into a luxurious seaside haven just an eleven-minute drive from the beach, this place has got charm by the trough load.

Inside, while the old 1800s bones remain (those exposed oak beams are everything), there's nothing twee about its interiors. Every inch of the home feels like an interior magazine come to life with heirloom-worthy antiques, vibrant textiles, and curated artwork bringing layers of interest and style.

Sunny mornings call for lazy coffees on the garden terrace as kids and furry friends run about on the lawns. But if the weather doesn't buck up, that breakfast room with French doors overlooking the garden is just as inviting, with the Aga keeping things toasty.

Upstairs, each bedroom set out over two floors is as dreamy as the next. And kids will love the novelty of the two staircases at either end of the house. Game of hide and seek, anyone? 

When it's time to spread your wings, take your pick from north Norfolk's best beaches. Pack a picnic and head for Wells-next-the-Sea (3 miles) and Holkham (5 miles). The vast sandy shores are the perfect playground for young and old alike when the tide is out. And when tummies start to rumble, the village pub (three minutes on foot) is just the ticket for hearty grub and a warm welcome.

To Hide & Seek

Just a short stroll away from the seafront, you'll find this cosy cottage. Located in the quiet village of Weybourne on the North Norfolk coast, it's the ideal place to begin your adventures in this wildly beautiful region. 

The semi-detached house is warm and inviting, with comfy sofas and a truly homely ambiance. On lazy Sundays, you can cook up a traditional roast dinner together, then flop down to watch your favourite blockbuster. And, when the sun is shining, you'll want to head outside and enjoy a tipple on the patio, as you breathe in the fresh countryside air. 

The nearby shingle beach is the ideal place for a brisk walk to clear away the cobwebs – or, if you're visiting during the warmer months, the kids can paddle while you relax. The village also has a pub, which is perfect for a pint after a walk with the dog through the rural landscapes. And, should you fancy a change of scene, the bustling seaside village of Cromer is just a short drive away.

Weybourne Waves

What a prime location this stylish cottage has – it's right in the centre of Wells-next-the-Sea. You'll find a mix of pubs, cafes, restaurants and independent shops to browse right on your doorstep. Or head to Holkham Beach (just over a twelve-minute drive away), where you may see the Household Cavalry riding their horses across the sands. It's just a twenty-minute stroll to Wells-next-the-Sea, too, with its pretty beach huts. After exploring all this town and the Norfolk coast offers, relax by the wood-burning stove (a starter pack of logs is provided in the colder months) or enjoy a coffee in the cute courtyard on warm days. Your lovely host has done a fantastic job sympathetically updating this place whilst retaining its original charm. When you're ready for a bit of rest, climb the traditional Norfolk winder stairs to the characterful and comfy bedrooms, before starting another exciting day of Norfolk adventures. This home is perfect for families, couples and friends who want to enjoy the great outdoors all year round.

Redshank

You’ll find this adults-only, flint cottage tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac just a five-minute stroll from Holt’s thriving high street. Perfect for two couples wanting to holiday together, there are two bathrooms to speed mornings along. The interiors may feel a little dated for some, but it’s all well-cared for, and the garden opening onto a private, enclosed wood with visiting deer is a nice touch. Location-wise, there’s plenty to walk to in Holt, but you’ll need a car for beach days. Get off to a flying start in Blakeney, just five miles away.

Deer's Leep

Luxury Bedding

Tucked away in a quiet loke in the Georgian town of Holt, this brick and flint cottage is perfectly placed for exploring Norfolk’s countryside and coastline. 

Contemporary furnishings take on an elegant twist in the living room with plump striped sofas and a wood burner inviting you to put your feet up with a good book or a board game. The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are country chic with their wood-framed beds and clean, pared-back minimalism, while the bathroom’s clawfoot tub and rainfall shower provide the perfect bookends to any day. With a lovely front courtyard in which to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or celebratory sundowner, you’ve got everything you need for a perfectly peaceful getaway. 

Outside of your home, the town’s boutiques, antique galleries and pubs wait to be sampled right on your doorstep, while those looking to sink their toes in the sand can make a beeline for Sheringham Beach, a fourteen-minute walk away.  Holt’s North Norfolk Steam Railway is also just under a thirty-minute walk away (or four minutes by car) and the medieval city of Norwich is a forty-minute drive from your door. 


Stony Way

Desk

Boasting a privileged position at the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea, this picturesque home overlooking the town’s quay is a treat for all seasons. With the North Norfolk coast on your doorstep and a plethora of fun treats waiting to be enjoyed at home, there’s no end to the adventures in store. 

No stone has been left unturned in the careful curation of this home, with its welcoming open-plan living area beckoning board games by the fireside and the sun room offering a slice of relaxation whatever the weather. Open the doors here to step out into the large private garden – the perfect spot for family picnics and lawn games – or head out to the front of the home where you’ll find a raised seating area with picture-perfect views of the boats coming in and out of quay. 

Our favourite spot, however, has to be the main bedroom’s terrace. Accessed via a hatched window, you’ve got uninterrupted views of the water that you can enjoy over morning coffees as the sun dazzles over the stunning scenery, or with a nightcap as the stars twinkle above you. 

When you’re ready to venture out for some sightseeing, you’ll find plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes just minutes away, including along the quayside (a two-minute walk) which has a plethora of ice cream shops and arcades. You’re also a twenty-five-minute walk from the beach, while Holkham Hall and Holkham National Nature Reserve are both just a couple of miles away.


Shipyard Quay

Old Georgian charm meets modern upgrades in this brick and flint cottage in Holt. With high vaulted ceilings crisscrossed by wooden beams, the home is brimming with character and charm. Families will love the ample space to relax together, with a large dining table to sit around and share meals and stories between trips into the traditional market town. The mezzanine floor provides a second sitting area, ideal for the kids to gather with their video games or the adults to enjoy a quiet morning coffee. Holt is famous for its local art galleries, antique markets, and bookshops, positioning the home in one of North Norfolk's prime spots. Ten minutes off the beaten track, you'll find 84 miles of coastline adorned with salt marsh views and seaside towns. 

Grandfather Clock

Only a twenty-minute ride from Wells-next-the-Sea Beach on the beloved Norfolk Coast, this traditional home sits in the quiet village of Hindringham. See the flowers bloom in the summertime at Hindringham Hall Gardens, just fifteen minutes away on foot. Alternatively, you can buy local produce at the nearby mill and farm shops on your way to Holt – a pretty market town that waits seven miles down the road.

Drive up to this brick and flint cottage and leave your wellies by the front door. Here, you'll wake up beneath a sloped ceiling and wander downstairs into your homely kitchen to cook breakfast. We think the dining room is the perfect place to make plans for the day. When you return, why not read a book in this bright conservatory as your dogs run through the garden? You'll even discover a hi-fi system and board games to keep the whole family entertained. Or, bring your favourite DVDs and cosy up in the living room for a movie night.

A True Love Of Mine

Built back in 1835, this cottage in the Norfolk town of Holt is approaching its 200th birthday, although you wouldn't be able to tell from the contemporary interior. The soothing palette of muted greys and chic furnishings are completely in keeping with the 21st century rather than the 19th, save for an eclectic collection of curios and mementoes on the shelves.

Arguably the home's best feature is a modern addition – the conservatory is blessed with natural light and is a lovely place to enjoy dinner regardless of the season. It also gives you a view of the back garden, which has another table plus a charcoal barbecue ready and waiting for summer evening feasts.

One thing that hasn't changed in the years since the house has been standing is  the quality of the location. The Georgian architecture of Holt is lovely to wander about and there are shops, cafes and art galleries with which to fill up your afternoon. Further afield, the rugged Norfolk coastline isn't too far away – Salthouse Beach takes ten minutes to reach in the car.

Time Machine

An enchanting North Norfolk retreat awaits you at this charming 1-bed cottage. Just 4 miles from the beach, you'll be within reach of vibrant coastal towns like Cley-Next-The-Sea, Salthouse, and Blakeney. Enjoy a short stroll to a highly-rated seafood restaurant and discover a variety of dining options nearby (including a brand new café over the road!). The property also welcomes up to 3 dogs.

Upper Greenbelt

Escape the stresses of the modern world and embrace the natural beauty of Norfolk in this intimate cottage. Rustic and quaint, it's a traditional home that's brimming with character.

The original panment floors, voguish furniture and low-vaulted wooden beams bring you back to the homespun design of classic country homes. It's a cosy cottage that's perfect for a small family who aren't fussed about new technology – instead, you're looking for a wholesome escape amidst beautiful scenery. 

A snug living room is warmed by a fireplace, facing out onto leather sofas and a four-seater dining table. It's a relaxing room on colder nights, perfect for curling up with a book on the sofa or sharing bowls of soup on the table. 

Whilst maintaining a homely vibe, the kitchen exudes more of a modern vibe. Sleek, wooden fittings and a cute, tall table laces the room with a contemporary style. 

Outside of the home, you'll find a plethora of gorgeous walking trails that decorate the landscape. Get your walking boots on for wholesome afternoons exploring the rugged beauty of the rolling hillside. If you fancied a day by the shore, Sheringham beach is just three miles away.




The Old Bolt Home

This yellow cottage dates back to the 1850s, so if you're looking for traditional charm with contemporary twists, this is the place for you. Our favourite spot is the light-filled conservatory, which is the perfect spot to indulge in afternoon tea or a glass of wine under the curved roof.

In the living room, cosy is an understatement – plush sofas beckon you to curl up with a good book beneath the wooden beams, while the wood burner and collection of board games are the very things for chillier nights at home. Come dinnertime, make your way to the kitchen and cook up a storm on the Aga stove, preparing a range of mouth-watering fare to share in the dining room. Better yet, dine alfresco in the sun-kissed garden as the day slowly fades and feel the salt-tinged air on your skin.

 Brinton is a small hamlet tucked away from the more lively spots on the Norfolk Coast. But that doesn't mean it's boring – you'll find excellent walking footpaths and cycling routes along the lanes, as well as an award-winning pub in Hunworth a short drive away. Holt is close by, too – ideal if you're after cafes, art galleries, boutique shops and fantastic restaurants. If it's the sea you crave, head to Wells-next-the-Sea or Holkham – both about a half-hour away by car.

Sundrift

This charming cottage in the historic Georgian town of Holt awaits you. Get your fluffy socks on and snuggle up by the glowing fireplace as you watch TV with your loved ones – brew some soothing tea or a toasty cup of coffee. The sleek kitchen is the perfect place to bake sweet treats for everyone or a hearty household favourite – this room gets a wonderful amount of daylight from the garden window and the delightful sunlight in the ceiling. 

Meals can be enjoyed at the dining table as you keep warm by the fire or dine alfresco in the pebble garden under the sun, surrounded by traditional stone and brick walls – there's also beautiful greenery and flowers for those with green thumbs. 

Head out to explore the brilliant town of Holt, where you'll find a range of eateries and shops to browse during your time away. There's also a great selection of pubs available for afternoons relaxing over a pint of beer, accompanied by a tasty plate of food. Visit the verdant Natural Surroundings garden, filled to the brim with colourful flowers, or head to the Holt Antiques and Interiors Centre.
