About this property

Sybil Cottage, Holme-next-the-Sea, Norfolk

Situated within reach of the sandy beach at Holme-next-the-Sea, this contemporary carrstone semi-detached cottage beautifully embodies modern coastal living. Boasting expertly landscaped gardens reaching for almost an acre, and a lush secret wooded area with verdant panoramic countryside views, this hideaway offers guests a blended rural seaside experience.

Thoughtfully extended, this traditional Norfolk carrstone cottage is in an idyllic location tucked away on a quiet back lane, approximately a 20 minutes walk from expansive and tranquil Holme beach. Entered via a gravel pathway up to a welcoming porch, guests are led into a bright well-equipped kitchen featuring modern appliances and delightful wooden worktops. With plenty of worktop space available, be sure to take the opportunity to cook up a delicious meal made using the delectable local produce that this area is famed for. With rustic stripped wooden floorboards, the adjacent dining area provides seating for up to eights guests around an spacious farmhouse table. This is the perfect place to gather for breakfast to plan for the day ahead, or to share food, wine and conversation late into the evening.

Two stylish comfortable sofas are hosted in the combined garden room, which gives access to the remarkable garden via french doors. Open up the doors on warm days to let the fresh coastal air drift through. Also providing access to the gardens, conveniently located bedroom four is on the ground floor, making it ideal for less mobile guests, or guests who prefer a bit of privacy away from the rest of the party. Well lit with natural light, this bedroom hosts a king-size bed and is served by an adjacent bathroom. Plenty of comfortable seating is provided by the deep sofas in the sitting room. With a wood burning stove, this room is the ideal place to relax after a day spent in the big outdoors.

Upstairs, three beautifully curated bedrooms are located. The impressive master suite hosts a king-size bed under a Velux window, and features a large luxurious free standing bath elevated on a wooden platform to allow views to the garden. Floor to ceiling french doors give access to a balcony that shares the same stunning vista. In addition, an en suite shower room accompanies this bedroom. A comfortable double bed is provided by bedroom two, which also boasts an en suite shower room. Bedroom three hosts twin beds, and is served by any of the aforementioned bathrooms. Decorated in subtle grey tones with complimenting quality soft furnishings, these bedrooms invite a restorative deep sleep.

Outside, the exquisite gardens are a considerable asset to this property. Extending to almost an acre and comprised of three lawned areas with a fabulous dining terrace, formal hedging, colourful borders, a summerhouse with a great supply of family games, a trampoline and swings plus a woodland area with a zip-wire, the gardens are perfect for al fresco suppers and for supervised children to explore and to let imaginations run wild. A secluded area in the woodland with a bench and fire-pit makes a great space for guests to share stories over roasted marshmallows long into a summer evening. A gravel driveway provides parking for up to three cars

Guests will find this a great location from which to explore all that this part of Norfolk has to offer, including stunning beaches, culinary delights, picturesque villages, as well as many other exciting attractions. An area rich in natural history and vibrant wildlife, Holme is circumvented by nature reserves, including Holme Dunes. The Norfolk Coastal Path is also reachable within an easy 15 minute walk from this property. A welcoming village pub, The White Horse, is a charming community hub for locals and visitors.

Sybil Cottage is also available as a sleeps four option: Sybil Cottage(4).

Sybil Cottage
Lovely location. Large house and gardens. Thought it was detached but it is a semi. It is very 'lived in'! And I did feel the residents had just moved out for a few days...... One bedroom/ensuite is not in great repair. Heating system and WIFI/television instructions would help. Yet it was good place to stay in.

Ideal for family groups
The facilities at the cottage were good and the layout made it perfect for our three generation family. The highlight was the truly amazing garden which provided the grandchildren with hours of fun. The summerhouse was an ideal play space and the zip wire was very popular! The only drawback was the tandem parking in the drive which sometimes meant a car having to be moved to let the other car out.

Beautiful garden, great location, fantastic weather!
We very much enjoyed our week at Sybil Cottage, which we found exceedingly well-equipped and comfortable. The beautiful weather allowed us to make full use of the garden. The elder of our two young grandsons, aged two and a half, really loved the zip-wire and the tyre for swinging. It's a great place for multi-generational family groups. A few points: a. the sofas were comfortable, but a bit shabby. b. the oven had not been cleaned - we cleaned it before we left. Not a pleasant job! c. the lady who brought us the keys was a bit confused about which keys opened what - it took a fair bit of sorting out - she said it was her husband who knew about all the keys. d. for a house which is furnished to cater for eight people the fridge is too small. e. getting into and out of the drive can be tricky if there is a car or van parked in the road outside the cottage - I know that nothing can be done about this, but thought it worth mentioning. f. if the trampoline is as dangerous as all the notes in the house told us, why is it still in the garden? Keeping a young child off it is difficult! g. on one of the nights a continuously barking dog from a neighbour's house kept the adults in our group awake till about 2.30am, and woke up the young children with us. Again, not the cottage's fault, but worth noting. h. and finally, a welcome pack of some basics would have been nice - milk, bread, a cake? This seems to be the practice of many hoilday cottage agencies we have dealt with in the past. I hope you take these points as constructive criticism. Our holiday was a delight. If we were in the area again we would certainly consider re-booking.

Excellent location and a fabulous village, peaceful and quiet, plenty wildlife to enjoy
Sybil cottage is nicely decorated and Morden with good taste. We enjoyed our stay despite the unfortunate mishap of water leaking from the master bedroom at around 5 am. It was fortunate that Kevin, the care taker, lives nearby within easy reach. Contacted him at 7 am and Kevin responded swiftly and remedial the leak by calling the Plummer and electrician. As we left on 9 June there were small plastering and lighting to be resolved. The slight disruption had not stopped us enjoying the stay. The village pub is wonderful with fab foods and convenient. We have had a fab holiday, thank you.

A lovely cottage in a quiet location with a beautiful garden
This is a lovely, well appointed cottage inside, but if the sun is shining it is the beautiful and well manicured garden where one is drawn to be. There is a large trampoline and a table tennis table that were not included in the details, so there is even more for children and young adults to do than we expected. There is no road or plane noise (except for the very occasional military jet). It is just a short walk to a pub and a slightly longer walk to the dunes and a sandy beach beyond. Do check the tide times though, as the sea does retreat quite a way at low tide. It is also possible to walk the 3.5 miles to Hunstanton along the beach. The north coast of Norfolk is a quiet backwater but there is still plenty to see and do irrespective of the weather. We recommend going to Sandringham, Castle Acre (ruined castle, ruined monastery with a village pub between), Wells where it is worth walking down the channel to the beach at the end, and Pensthorpe (bird reserve with lovely wild flower meadows).
