  • Cosy country cottage with original features and stylish interiors– snuggle up in front of the wood burner on colder evenings
  • Situated close to Holt, and the coast line for exploring the beaches and coastal walks
  • Occupies a quiet rural location in Norfolk, with country walks from your doorstep
Property code: OC-1817

Occupying a village location in the Norfolk countryside, you’re only 6 miles from the Georgian market town of Holt with its range of independent shops and eateries nestled amongst its narrow streets and alleyways. Holt Country Park, on the edge of Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), can also be found here. The AONB is home to unique wildlife such as nesting birds and seals in the numerous nature reserves, and can also be seen on a boat trip. Why not indulge in a crab sandwich in Cromer (10 miles) before taking a stroll along the 45-mile Norfolk Coast Path? Or relax on what is possibly Norfolk’s best beach, Wells-Next-the-Sea (19 miles). For smaller guests, head to Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure (15 miles).

Sympathetically renovated, this charming cottage still has many original features such as exposed beams, which add character throughout. Meanwhile, light walls add a sense of space, and an eclectic mix of traditional and modern fixtures and fittings create a welcoming home to relax in. You enter the hall that offers somewhere to discard coats and shoes, and from here you can head into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. At one end, you can sink into the two comfortable sofas and soak up the warmth of the wood burner, whilst at the other end, a well-equipped kitchen has everything you’ll need to cook up a delicious breakfast or evening meal. This includes a built-in electric double oven, electric hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher. A farmhouse kitchen table offers somewhere to dine together, and a high-backed bench helps to divide the kitchen from the lounge. A utility room with a washing machine, drying rack and WC is a useful addition to the property. Upstairs, two delightful bedrooms await you. The double master suite has a sense of grandeur with its vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, but the muted tones and light wood furniture add a sense of calm. The second bedroom is no less impressive and features a specially designed triple bunk bed (double on the bottom with a single on top) and an additional single bed. A modern family bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC completes the accommodation.

To the rear of the property, an enclosed lawned garden surrounded by mature trees and shrubs is ideal for al fresco dining, whilst a bench by the front door provides the perfect spot for a quiet moment to yourself with a cup of coffee. The large driveway has parking for two cars.

This is the second week we have spent at Aurora Cottage this year, the location is good for exploring the Norfolk countryside and coast. The cottage is cosy and welcoming, and is well equipped. My five year old daughter loves the bunk bed!

Hadn't been to North Norfolk for 20 years and it remains very special (ideal for cycling as well). Little Barningham tranquil & quaint.

A very quiet rural location. Lovely view from lounge onto grassy hill. Saw deer there and an owl flying over at dusk. Cottage is very cosy and comfortable. No mobile coverage but wifi is good.

The cottage was absolutely perfect, thank you. We had a fantastic time. The location is lovely and peaceful and our two small children loved seeing the deer, pheasants and rabbits. There is a lot to do in the area without having to drive too far. We are already considering booking again!
