About this house rental

Railway Cottage is a beautifully refurbished Victorian terraced cottage, a short walk to the bustling centre of Holt in one direction and to the Poppy Line station in the other.

Retaining bags of character with Farrow and Ball paintwork, stripped wooden floors, squashy sofas and large comfortable beds, Railway Cottage is the ideal base for a family holiday exploring the North Norfolk coast.

The property sleeps a total of eight, with six in the main house (a king, super king and one twin bedroom) and two more in 'Platform 2' - the annexe across the courtyard at the rear of the house and actually a converted wash house!

The garden lies to the main beyond the annexe and has a lovely secluded, rather 'secret' feel (or so I've been told by several children!). There are various places to sit and enjoy the garden - take morning coffee on the deck behind the annexe, fire up a barbecue in the courtyard between the kitchen and annexe, or laze in the deck chairs on the lawn. Deck chairs, boules and swing ball all housed in the shed.

Family meals can be enjoyed around the large table in the kitchen or outside in the courtyard. Cooler evenings and winter nights can be spent enjoying the warmth of the Aga, curled up by the fire with board games or TV in the sitting room.

Great wifi too!

We had a wonderful time at Jon's cottage in Holt. The property was close enough to walk to town but not in the hustle and bustle and as such was quiet and relaxing. The open plan kitchen/diner/lounge was perfect to host our whole family. My 5-year-old niece enjoyed ALL of the toys available, and the secret garden was quite the hit! Thank you Jon!

This is a super property, very cosy and warm, with Aga, log burner and an open fire. The annex being great option for our daughter to have her own space with sofa and TV. The beds were really comfortable and the cottage very well equipped. Just a short walk into Holt with plenty of restaurants and shops mean everything you need is just on the doorstep. A lovely touch were the tasteful Christmas decorations and the bottle of fizz to welcome us. Jon had set the heating so it was nice and warm for our arrival. I would definitely recommend this wonderful cottage and just wished we could have stayed longer!

We had an amazing time very homely especially with the aga always lovely and warm … the annexe was such a handy place for our friends to stay in with their dog they absolutely loved it .. short walk to Holt and The Pigs restaurant up the road which was lovely as we celebrated two birthdays that weekend used Holt Taxis who were on time both ways and very efficient .. Holt Country Park was a delight to walk round and Holkham Hall and Beach a must to go too. Thank you Jon for all you did for us to make our weekend stay the best you are a star hopefully we will be back .. the icing on the cake was a visit to see the Thursford Christmas Spectacular which was amazing take care x

Lovely house for a relaxing long weekend.

We really enjoyed our stay at Railway cottage. The separate annex was perfect for my parents and gave them their own space. The selection of toys on the upstairs rooms was fantastic, our boys played with them all weekend. We also really appreciated the sturdy stair gate. Generally the house was beautifully clean and very well equipped. It also had the best example of a welcome book that I have ever seen. The owner, Jon, was always very quick to respond to the few questions I had and was happy to have a cot set up for us. We would all happily stay again - and probably will.

We had an excellent stay in Jon’s cottage, all rooms and beds really comfy, well equipped house to cover all needs and fabulous location close to all the north Norfolk Coastal and inland attractions. The cottage was always a great place to come back to after a coastal day and with the pubs and restaurants all booked up locally the kitchen was a great place to cook and hang out. Everything had been thought of and communication swift and clear. Highly recommend this as a holiday rental.

Delightful cottage break

Delightful cottage break

Railway cottage was deceptively spacious on the inside with well laid out accommodation and excellent equipment. Instructions to the property provided by the owner were detailed and very helpful as we were driving down from Yorkshire. The location could not have been better with a ten minute walk into Holt and good access to the North Norfolk coast and attractions. The AGA cooker was warm and welcoming and made the kitchen the true heart of the home. The icing on the cake was Platform 2 (the annexe )which was a perfect retreat for our son. We would definitely recommend this property.

What a fabulous house

What a fabulous house

This house is absolutely beautiful, finished to a high spec, with literally nothing negative to say! I would highly recommend this property! It’s within a 15mins drive to Cromer, Holt is full of shops, pubs, coffee houses and has loads of character and only a 5-10 min walk (we had 2 small children with us so always takes a bit longer) Perfect for our family trip away to celebrate my dads 70th birthday! The only thing I would note is the hairdryer needs replacing but when that is the only downside to mention you know you have hit the jackpot! We will absolutely be visiting again as a family in the summer! Thank you Paula for the great communication and directions.
