The coastal villages of Blakeney and Cley are just five miles away with the sandy beach at Sheringham just six miles away.

The front door opens into a cosy lounge which has been fully refurbished and benefits from wooden flooring, a comfy two seater sofa, two armchairs and a smart TV with the facility to watch Netflix, Amazon Prime and numerous other channels. All of the new furnishings complement the brick fireplace and freestanding wood burning stove.

Holiday in Holt
Lovely little house close to town centre. Very clean and cosy, with good location. Nice to have dedicated car park a short walk away. A couple of minor issues were dealt with very efficiently and quickly with the aid of the app.

Another lovely stay at Songbirds
This was our second visit to Songbirds and it was just as good as the first. This time we got to enjoy the log burner and cosied up by the fire. This cottage really does have everything you could possibly need for a relaxing weekend in North Norfolk be it Summer or Winter. The property is beautifully clean, well equipped and excellently located. We will be back next time we visit Norfolk.

Songbirds
Location is fantastic. Cottage is small and two adults and two large dogs made it even smaller. Nevertheless we coped well. The cottage is well equipped and the seating downstairs is very comfortable. Some suggestions. A 600 watt microwave is a bit small. We were surprised that we were left half a toilet roll, half a bottle of washing up liquid, one tea towel and no hand towel in the kitchen to last for a week. There needs to be somewhere in the shower for your soap, shampoo etc. Finally the porch over the back door and the patio should be clean for new arrivals.

Lovely Cottage in the heart of Holt
Fabulous cottage - 2nd time we have stayed. Well equipped, beautiful facilities and comfortable. Rob is an excellent host and keeps in contact in case any queries and wonderful welcome pack etc. There is parking which is a real bonus. Property is a short walk from the centre of town which has excellent shops, restaurants etc. Only negative check out is early 9.00am would be good if a little later - I know cleaning company come in but guests strip all the beds etc and bag towels (due to COVID) and put out all rubbish, perhaps 10.30am. Also more than 1 toilet roll would be useful. This really is just a minor thing please don’t let it put you off, we would certainly go back for a 3rd/4th time. Strongly recommend booking you won’t be disappointed 😊

Cosy cottage in excellent location
Songbirds is a really lovely, cosy property in the best location in Holt. The house is beautifully decorated and has two of the comfiest armchairs! We stayed as a couple and had plenty of room, I should imagine a party of four may find it rather snug. The kitchen was really well equipped and had everything we needed. The bedrooms are small but there is more than enough storage and lovely bed linens. The double bed was a bit creaky and quite warm with it's memory foam Emma mattress. Lots of guests will love it I'm sure. The bathroom has a very large sink and great shower with a plentiful supply of soft towels. The allocated parking was a bonus and easy to find. The location of this property is absolutely ideal. On a quiet back street, just a few 100 meters from the centre of Holt which has a fantastic selection of independent shops. Easy to spend an afternoon or two spending. Holt is a great location for exploring the North Norfolk coast and we were spoilt for choice when it came to eating out. Highly recommended Byfords in Holt, The White Horse at Brancaster Staithe and The Hunworth Bell. If we ever return to Holt, Songbirds will be my 1st choice. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.
