Things to see and do around 8 Carpenters Cottage, Holt:
Visit Spout Hills/Spout Common
Spout Hills, just a short walk from the Holt High Street, it is a special place of streams, ponds, marsh orchids and mint. Comprising of 14 acres of registered common land.
HOLT Country Park is about a 10 minute walk from the cottage.
Holt Country Park is situated on the edge of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Holt is an ideal location for Wildlife and Bird Watchers - Blakeney National Nature Reserve - 6 miles. Blakeney Point, within Blakeney National Nature Reserve, is a four-mile-long sand and shingle spit. Sand dunes have formed over hundreds of years on the shingle ridge and form a rare habitat valuable for unusual plants, insects, birds and seals.
NWT Cley Marshes Nature Reserve
The NWT Cley Marshes comprises 400 acres with reclaimed marshes, lagoons, pools, hides, board walks, walks along risen banks and the shingle beach at Cley, and a state of the art visitor centre with spectacular views over the marshes towards the sea.
Arrive at the visitor centre and you'll be greeted by very friendly staff who will answer any questions you may have. If you want to visit the hides, you do need to pay, but if you want to just take a walk along the board walks, or up to the beach, then that's free. Don't forget your binoculars though, as you will definitely need binoculars for bird watching!
It's worth going into the visitor centre just for the view across the marshes. It is stunning coastal landscape that you won't get anywhere else in the UK.

Lovely cottage for two conveniently situated a few hundred yards from Budgeons supermarket. It is on a par with Waitrose with prices but the convenience far outweighs the cost.

Ideal location for visiting Holt. You are right in town with all the shops, pubs and restaurants, bus stops in walking distance.
Cute cottage, open plan but definitely big enough for two.
Easy check in and out and excellent communication with owner & Vrbo.
Parking is round the other side of cottage which is a short walk round with bags.
Even though it’s in town very peaceful & relaxing.
5.0
The cottage was spotlessly clean.
We stayed during one of the hottest August weeks, the cottage had the morning sun pouring through the front windows, but remained cool inside.
A very comfortable lounge area, perfect for relaxing after a long day hiking the North Norfolk coastal path, the shower room is a good size, with a good flowing constant temperature shower.
The bedroom is very generous in size with ample storage and a comfortable bed.
The Parking at this property is a super bonus, and no 8 probably has the best spot of all with easy access.
Holt itself is a maze of fascinating retailers,and eateries
We have stayed in many holiday rentals no 8 Carpenters Cottages is one we would absolutely return to.
Thank you Anne we had a lovely time, your arrival instructions and cottage itinerary is very accurate and comprehensive

Lovely comfortable cottage. Easy to drive to Blakeney, Cley, Cromer, Sheringham plus national trust properties nearby. The 'poppy' line to take the steam train to Sheringham is half an hour walk from the cottage or drive to the station and pay £2 to park all day. Holt itself is a lovely small town to explore with its own country park. We also enjoyed a couple of days bird watching at Cley and also Trimingham whilst the Bee eaters are in the UK.
