It is situated in the heart of Holt. Walk through the secret gate and you will see 8 Carpenters Cottage in an idyllic private courtyard setting. You will be taken back 100 years in time with all the comfort of home. Walk into Holt (2 minutes) and you will go back in time 40 years. Enjoy that homely feel, free wi-fi or just sitting out in the courtyard garden with a glass of white wine from the wine cooler! There is private off-road parking at the back of the cottage.

An amazing find, just so relaxing and able to unwind. Great layout and well presented. Central location in Holt which is full of independent shops, cafes and restaurants. Just a short drive to the coast with lots to do in the local area.
