Our story

Two years in the making. Smitten in a minute.

An old gardener’s flint cottage, restored with curated, reclaimed and vintage materials: exposed ancient flint walls, lime render, reclaimed oak beams, bricks and Norfolk pamments.

Then softened with Mulberry Home fabrics, Designers Guild bedlinen and towels, and a Woolroom wool mattress and bedding. The colours, textures, scents, warmth and light will leave you smitten the minute you open the front door.

It’s a boutique cottage made for couples: anniversaries, birthdays and long, slow weekends by the fire, with Holt’s shops and restaurants five minutes away and the seals at Blakeney fifteen.

The little things

Every corner has a story.

The interiors were pieced together from the antique shops around Holt: painted furniture, vintage fabrics, handmade ceramics and curiosities. Add fresh bread on the board, butterfly-print pillows and a stack of local maps and books for rainy days.

What guests say

“The most relaxing place to stay in North Norfolk. It’s highly curated, really thoughtful throughout, but also a very practical space. The bathroom is definitely a highlight.”
