Tucked behind a short row of houses in a peaceful cul de sac, with common land to one side and woodland to the other, is an 1800s drover’s cottage. Step in to discover fresh flowers and a basket of logs, rose-strewn curtains and a duck egg-blue sofa, a hand-crafted kitchen and a colourful kilim: all you need to keep you cosy on the wintery-est night. Everything has been stripped back to its original style, and great comfort added. The steep winding stair is soft-carpeted and rope-bannister’d, the bedroom’s beams are perfectly limewashed, the fireplace has a wood-burner that belts out the heat. For summer? Two levels of lawn separated by a flower bed, a furnished patio for meals, a bench facing south. The area is famous for its houses – Holkham, Blickling, Felbrigg, Houghton Hall – there’s golf at Sherringham, and the ‘Poppy Line’ – full steam ahead – is down the road; best of all, the delights of the Georgian market town of Holt are a five-minute stroll from your door. Then it’s home to a deep soak in a free-standing tub and sweet dreams; the simple bedroom is a gorgeous treat.
Amazing stay at Hill cottage. Beautiful, cozy, comfortable cottage where every detail has been thought of and finished to a luxurious standard. The cottage is surrounded by it's beautiful garden, perfect for relaxing and unwinding and listening to the birds and bees in the garden. Perfect little bolt hole to escape from it all!! I've returned feeling refreshed and restored.
