The family-friendly, three-bedroom cottage is nestled in the popular Georgian town centre of Holt (less than 1 mile away), with a mix of eclectic boutique shops and traditional village pubs and restaurants to visit. Jump aboard one of five purpose-built ferries at Morston Quay (less than 7 miles away) to spot a colony of grey seals on your way to dock at Blakeney Harbour. For those who want to take a walk on the wild side, the Green Flag Award-winning Holt Country Park is less than 1 mile away where the whole family can escape into the peaceful woodland wonderland walks.

Descend a few stone steps towards the bright front door, a striking pop of colour against the traditional pebble-cladded walls, and you’re welcomed into the stunning open-plan living/dining area. A soft neutral palette, echoed in the two large sofas, contrasts the exposed wooden ceiling beams and exposed brickwork. Space for six guests around the dining table with an additional statement Sherlock Homes-style chair means there’s enough space for everyone, and floor-to-ceiling, bifold patio doors out to the garden flood the space with natural light. The wood burner and Smart TV transform the space for cosy nights in. Enjoy the exposed beams further in the kitchen, crowning the contemporary kitchen below, kitted out with a built-in electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and washer/dryer. There’s also a handy Tassimo coffee machine. Moving back through the hallway, you’ll find a ground-floor twin bedroom an additional Smart TV, and a smart downstairs bathroom with a bath, small walk-in shower and WC. Upstairs, a feature iron fireplace with wooden surround in the first king-size room captures the essence of the cottage, and this room also has a white iron bedstead and Smart TV. The second king-sized room mimics the first, with exposed wooden beams and an additional Smart TV. There is another modern bathroom upstairs with a shower and WC.

The enclosed, private garden has been meticulously landscaped to house a relaxing patio area underneath the shade of a mature tree to dine alfresco or roast marshmallows on the charcoal BBQ long into the night. Enjoy and unwind with a dip in the spacious hot tub after a long summer’s day exploring or to warm the cockles in the cooler months.

This was our second time staying at Holly Cottage and it was just as good the second time as it was the first. Everything is so high quality and there are so many thoughtful extras. A perfect base in the centre of Holt.

We stayed at Holly Cottage for one week in August 2024 and were very impressed with the cottage quality and it's central location. The comfort and style of the place were 10/10, but the thoughtfulness of small added extras (like having a couple of pints of milk in the fridge) made it all the more special. I would have no hesitation recommending HolRead morely Cottage and will also look in the future to other holiday lets through Original Cottages if this is the level of quality they manage. Hide

Our second visit to Holly Cottage and it was just as amazing as the first. The cottage is beautiful and so well equipped. The location is amazing too. Just a shame it is being taken off the books in August. Hopefully the new owners will continue to rent it out!

We thought the cottage was absolutely superb. Clean, all the home comforts you could wish for and close to everything. We have stayed in many, many rentals over a 20 year period, all over the world. This was by far the best. We were actually looking to rebook for next year but were sad to hear that it's being discontinued.

A gorgeous cottage in a perfect location . Having parking in a busy little town like Holt is a real bonus and the garden , a perfect place to relax after a busy morning. One thing worth mentioning is that the stairs are steep and the treads very shallow making them a little difficult to navigate. We would happily recommend this lovely property.

We had a fabulous time. Cottage is perfect, Holt charming and Norfolk divine. The owners have wonderful taste, and even had a resident blackbird nesting in the laurel. Watching from their hot tub, (plastic) glass of wine in hand, the comings and goings of Cyril and partner, made our holiday. A huge thank you for everything.
