Guest Reviews

Helen
This lovely house was spacious and clean. A very comfortable home from home. It's within easy walking distance to the centre Holt and a short journey to the coast and country parks. A perfect get away destination.
Richard
Lovely clean comfortable and spacious home from home. Well located a short distance from Holt town centre. Holt country park a few minutes walk from the property, ideal for dog owners. Coast and various places of interest a short drive away.
Helena
A beautiful house in a lovely setting. It was comfortable and well laid out with everything you would need, it was home from home. It was on the edge of a lovely new housing estate with plenty of places to walk the dogs and for children to play, just two minutes away. The location was just perfect, just a short walk into Holt village which has lovely shops and restaurants. There was parking for 4 cars. The location was perfect for visiting the area, where we spent lovely days out and returned to the house for relaxing evenings in the house and garden, sometimes walking into Holt for supper. We look forward to booking the house again for another family and friends holiday.
Verna
Lovely property for a family get together or to meet up with friends to explore the area. Everywhere was clean and well cared for. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could want and there was ample space everywhere to accommodate a party of 8 persons.
Helen
Lovely spacious, modern property close to Holt town centre. A good position for exploring the area and coastal towns of North Norfolk.
Michael
A really spacious family house with all the fixtures and equipment you could need. A park area and playground 2 minutes walk were great for young children. Plenty of parking space. Holt is a nice small town as a base and it's only 30 mins max from most of the beaches and other attractions in north Norfolk. All in all a really great house for a larger family or multi-generational group.
Sandra
Fabulous house with everything a family needs already provided. Close enough to Holt to walk to access all the shops and eateries. Close to the beach driving. Fabulous little park behind the house. Excellent places to walk the dog. Plenty of parking at the house.
