Our stay at Sandpipers was restful and very enjoyable. The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable, although the stairs were steep and windy which may not be suitable for those with limited mobility! We took our dog on holiday for the first time and the walks from the cottage were lovely. It was a great base to explore north Norfolk.

We stayed at Sandpipers in Baconsthorpe, Holt for three nights in July 2026 and had a lovely experience. The cottage was quaint, comfortable, clean, and very well equipped, with thoughtful touches that made it feel welcoming from the moment we arrived.Its location is excellent — peaceful and rural, yet perfectly positioned for exploring the surrounding countryside and the beautiful Norfolk coast. We found it easy to reach nearby villages, walking routes, and coastal spots like Sheringham and Cromer.A charming property in a great setting.

Although the property was in Baconsthorpe, and not Holt as shown on the map, it was in a quiet, rural area surrounded by fields. The garden backed onto a field and was a castle and church within walking distance.

We loved our stay, the cottage is exactly the same as the one I stayed in regularly as a child. So the staircase could be challenging for some people. But the cottage itself is fully equipped and very comfortable. The distance to anywhere is short (but you need a car) however I would recommend taking your bikes as there are plenty of lanes and countryside to take full advantage of. While there we visited Holt, Holt Country Park, Sherringham, Sherringham Park and of course a seaside day at Cromer all possible with a car. The cottage is located down a lane that is long and suitable for the most part for one vehicle but there are passing places.
