Step inside and you're guaranteed to fall in love almost immediately. The owner, who is an interior designer, has styled the property carefully using a palette of soft greys and blues, which reflects the coastal location and little touches make this place very special whatever time of year you choose to visit. Walk into the living space and take a seat on the soft sofa or one of the easy chairs. With dining space for four, you can look forward to supper over a glass of wine or simply write postcards home. Off the sitting room you'll find a beamed kitchen with modern painted units, granite worktops and a Butlers sink which blends perfectly with the interior of the cottage. Perfectly formed and well-equipped, you'll find everything you need to cook up a treat, using locally caught seafood and shell fish and some fabulous local produce, all available locally within a five mile radius.
Climb the Norfolk winder staircase to the first floor where you’ll discover the beautiful master bedroom, hosting a stunning king-size bed with quality linens, soft feather pillows, duvets and soft furnishings. Next door you'll find a super shower room and a separate WC. Up a further winder staircase you'll find the twin bedroom which is located on the second floor. Equally as stylish, it also has quality linens with soft feather pillows and duvets. You are also rewarded with distant views of the sea on a clear day. Outside you have a pretty south facing paved courtyard to enjoy, with garden furniture provided so you can soak up the rays and enjoy a leisurely coffee. There is also an additional small gravelled seating, relaxing, eating area at the rear of the cottage - both outside areas are fenced and dog proof.
On a practical note there is also a spacious utility room which comes with the property which is located in an outbuilding, just a few steps from the row of cottages. Here you'll find a washing machine, Butlers sink, barbecue base and additional fridge/freezer.

The cottage is so cosy and welcoming. A truly delightful little place to return to after a day exploring the wonderful North Norfolk coast. It was bitterly cold but mostly fine so we enjoyed many beautiful coast walks - Holkham, Holt, Thornham, Blakeney, Castle Rising and Castle Acre. Had a really wonderful time here and the cottage is beautifully appointed. We return to our home in central Italy with very many happy memories. PS: The Bakery... buonissimo !!!

Our second visit, lovely cosy well equipped cottage for two and small dog. Location is perfect as we did not need to use the car; footpath across the road led to a nature reserve, then to sea marshes, finally to sand dunes and a beautiful sandy beach. Pub and bakery just across the road. The cottage is a short walk to the main road where you can access the hourly coastal hopper bus.

Beautiful comfortable cottage in a brilliant location: an excellent base to explore North Norfolk. All the nature reserves are amazing for wildlife - saw so many birds we had never seen before ie marsh harrier, hen harrier, a sanderling. The White Horse pub and bakery are excellent. Drove Orchards farm shop plus Eric's Fish & Chips - so good, and so handy close by. Will be back to Holme-next-the-Sea. Thank you so much.
