The East Anglia / Norfolk region
Picturesque clusters of stone cottages, rolling Fens, unspoilt beaches, and pretty waterways – East Anglia is a dream holiday destination. Norfolk offers unspoilt beaches, saltmarshes, picturesque cliffs, and quaint flint villages. The pretty, popular resorts of Blakeney & Wells form part of the largest coastal nature reserve in England and Wales, where you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of common and grey seals, along with abundant birdlife. Families can enjoy the popular tourist resort of Great Yarmouth, enjoy the thrills and spills at Pleasurewood Hills theme park, or roam the cycle paths and sculpture trail at Thetford Forest (not forgetting the‘Go Ape’ high wire adventure centre in the heart of the forest). Cromer is well known for its pier and crabs, or how about Sheringham, from where you can ride on a steam train to the delightful town of Holt, with its specialist shops and charming market place?
Equally as charming are the coastline and countryside of Suffolk. Historic sites such as Sutton Hoo and Framlington Castle sit alongside museums, high-wire adventure trails, beautiful gardens and bustling market towns, amidst lovely countryside with plentiful walking and cycle paths. The coastline of the area is popular with families, and the whole region has a very strong arts movement, with plenty of work by local artists on display and available to purchase.
The Holt / Briston area
Situated in North Norfolk and offering a local store, a village post office, a good bakery and a superb butcher's shop, the large village of Briston also provides two pubs, a sports field and a sizeable village green. Situated in a central position, the village provides a good base for exploring the surrounding area and is close to both the historic Georgian town of Holt - with its tempting tea-rooms and interesting shops, and Blakeney coastal nature reserve which provides visitors with fantastic birdwatching opportunities. Also available nearby are several 'seal spotting' boat trips which take visitors up and down the coast, or alternatively, there is a wonderful beach at the seaside resort of Sheringham. The local countryside is wonderfully diverse and offers walkers and cyclists the chance to explore the many fascinating trails.

Having 3 bathrooms was a bonus. The cottage was very well equiped with all any family or friends would need. The only down side was the fact that the single beds were only 2ft 6inches wide and... more |

I have already completed a review. The booking was made in the name of my husband Richard Charles Tennant who died in June 2010. Because of the stress we had all been under, we decided to go ahead... more |
Guestbook for 2259 - Fred’s Cottage
The nicest little village I have been in for many a year. It's such a beautiful cottage, you could not ask for more and the owners are friendly and accommodating. The local pub, just across the road is warm and welcoming with such lovely people. Thanks for a great holiday, hope to return soon.
