Village
The attractive village of South Creake (twinned with North Creake) has a lovely village green at its heart with the river Burn that runs through. When visiting the village, you will see the much-loved resident ducks crossing the road from the houses for a swim on the river. There is a lovely leafy recreation ground, park and village hall making it the hub of the village. You will often see local produce such as cakes and homegrown vegetables for sale from the small way-side stalls in the village and there is a thriving plant nursery and cafe. There is a welcoming community spirt in the village, making it a perfect place to unwind and take in the Norfolk air.
The Ostrich Inn, dating from the 1800s, has been refurbished to a high standard and now serves delicious locally sourced food in attractive surroundings.
History
On the hill above the village can be found the remnants of Bloodgate Hill fort, an Iron Age fortification that is the largest hill fort in Norfolk. It probably dates back around 300 years before the Romans. Roman coins and pottery have been found in the surrounding farmlands of the village.
Visit
Well worth a visit is Creake Abbey just outside of the village of North Creake with a lovely speciality shops. There is also an award-winning farmers' market on the last Saturday of each month. Close to Fakenham is the Pensthorpe Nature Reserve making for a lovely day out with walks around the lakes, gardens and also great fun for all the family with splendid children’s indoor and outdoor play areas. With the vast sandy beaches of the North Norfolk Coast just a short journey away at Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham, this village is a great base from which to explore North Norfolk.

Please say a big big thank you to Roger the gardener and Bobbie the housekeeper for their friendliness and kindness.

Home from home. We loved our stay. Superbly, comfortably equipped. We have so enjoyed a well wanted relaxing break. Thank you! A lovely sisters week away
Great house for a crowd. Well kept and spacious.
Lovely house in a quiet location, with easy access to the coast and other attractions. Spending time with the family, being on the beach with the grandchildren.
Thank you so much for our stay in your lovely home. We’ve had the best time. We love Norfolk. Thanks!!! for the lovely cake.
Fabulous house. Super comfy. Full kitchen and lovely beds! We love North Norfolk & this has been a tremendous house. We’ll definitely come back. Nana has loved it too, having a snug to do her jigsaw.
It looked lovely on the website but it was even nicer in real life. It felt like a home-from-home, very cosy and well-equipped. We mostly liked the birds singing in the morning, the peace & quiet in a lovely location. The property was very well-equipped for all needs and benefited from full sun throughout the day. We had a lovely stay in this fabulous property. Enjoyed our (long-awaited) time together, with lots of fun and laughter, creating wonderful memories for all generations from age 12-81. Thank you
We had a really lovely log weekend at Holly House – very comfortable for our Halloween celebration and we’re all sad to leave – thank you!
What a beautiful happy home Holly House is! Our daughter absolutely loved hunting for pottery the stream! Thank you.
What a lovely house and garden, really well kitted out. Had everything we could need. Lovely location. You must pop to Creake Abbey & Back to the Garden in Holt for breakfast… yum yum. Hope to be back again.
Beautiful house and village. Loved Holkham Hall and beach. Can highly recommend Socius for eating in Burnham Market. Thank you, Rachel & family.
A beautiful house in a very good location. Thank you for letting us stay. We had a very relaxing week despite the wet weather. We’d love to come back!
We are annual visitors to north Norfolk. This has been another glorious trip. The house is cosy, welcoming and perfectly equipped. Thank you for having us – we hope to visit again!
First time exploring Norfolk. Very impressed. Great food, beaches and villages. Beautiful home – well set up! Thank you
Lovely weekend away even with storm Dennis, found loads to do. A lovely house would recommend to friends. We liked the the lovely large kitchen diner at Holly House as it was a great area for us all to catch up in. Thank you.
We’ve all enjoyed a wonderful few days away at your beautiful house. The house was very well equipped & lovely & warm. Hopefully we will book again. Thank you.
We have had a lovely stay in your warm, cosy, comfortable, well-equipped and peaceful house! Thank you!
Once again, a lovely stay in Holly House. There’s nothing new I can say about the areas as know it so well having visited Norfolk for over 30 years, but what is a delight is being able now to spend time with family etc. Here in South Creake. So restful & cosy with everything a family wants here at Holly House. Thank you!
Lovely big house in a quiet spot with well stock and cozy. Wonderful scenery around local towns. Dogs had a fantastic time! Local history surrounding South Creake is easily accessible and very interesting. Would stay again, a very fun and relaxing holiday!
We stayed at Holly house with our two children and Grandmothers in tow, for a weekend in June. It is a beautiful spacious homely home, with very comfortable beds and good facilities. Lots of games for the children to play and a good sized enclosed garden for them to run around in. The location is great for exploring North Norfolk, set in a very pretty village and with a short drive to local beaches and towns. We wouldn't hesitate to book this property again !
Ref Holly House This cottage is in a quiet back street of South Creake. We have stayed many times with different members of the family who love it too. It is very well equipped,homely and comfortable and closest to Wells and Holkham beaches. The cottage has a playroom equipped with toys and games and plenty of dvd's for children. Good WiFi signal. The playpark and stream with ducks to feed is closeby. Good walks from cottage. Can highly recommend the Duck at Stanhoe which is an excellent pub for food. We will always return here in the future. June 2019, Margaret & Richard
Holly House was perfect for our girly weekend away! It was very spacious and well equipped, with beautiful decor and little touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The large kitchen/diner opens up onto the garden - a sun trap that we were lucky enough to be able to take full advantage of. It was fantastic for a few glasses of rosé and a bbq! The village is picturesque and lovely for a stroll to see the ducks on the green. Holly House is a brilliant base to go and explore the north Norfolk coast from, however, we found that we didn’t want to leave! We can’t wait to come back next year for another wonderful weekend.
A home from home and a wonderful house, well equipped and perfect for our girls weekend away. It won’t be the last time we visit as a group!
Once again another chance to come to Holly House. Just love coming here. So ideally situated and not too far away from the coastline. Good walks from the house. Always good food at the Duck at Stanhoe. Holme-next-Sea now nice and quiet on the Monday.
Cottage so lovely and comfortable with everything that is needed. Thank you Rachel
We loved our stay at Holly House. The house itself is beautifully relaxing and all the amenities we needed. It’s decorated so it feels cosy but also fresh. We loved the log fire but also having the kitchen doors open when it was sunny. The village is so quiet and peaceful, especially the green just up the road. The location is ideal for the beaches and restaurants. We’d definitely come and stay here again. Thank you!x Victoria, Aimee
We just loved your beautiful house and had the most fantastic weekend away with much loved friends. Our girls adored paddling in the stream, hunting for treasures and we had a great fun completing an easter egg hunt in the garden. Fantastically situated for exploring our favourite county – all the usual places visited – Brancaster beach, The Jolly Sailors, The pigs at Edgefield and Wells of course. Thank you
Had a wonderful Christmas enjoyed area and comfort of your cottage – everything we needed was here and more. Thank you. Decorations perfect.
Holly House is a home from home and idea for family gatherings. Our most recent visit was this December 2018 when we went to celebrate a family birthday. The house seems cosy yet big enough for large groups. It has everything you would need for self catering with the lovely large kitchen diner with doors opening to the garden when the weather is good and it's in an ideal location for days out visiting the beach and lots of lovely restaurants. We have already booked to go again next December and will hopefully get there again before December. Cannot recommend highly enough.
The perfect stay! We took my mum for her 80th birthday celebrations and this was the perfect place for it. The house was immaculate, perfectly equipped and in a great location. There was a wide age range from 7 to 80 and the house was able to accommodate everybody and their different needs. The wonderful kitchen dining area was the perfect spot to get together after buy days as well as the cosy lounge with log burner. The proximity to the coast, in particular Wells-Next-Sea for us, and Holkham Hall was spot on and allows for easy to access to great days out. The enclosed garden and utility area were perfect for the dog, especially at the end of a sandy wet day at the beach. We cannot recommend Holly House highly enough and are looking forward to our next visit. It didn’t have the feel of a holiday let but that of a family home from home.
I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoy staying at your beautiful cottage. We've been a few times and we always feel that we can relax there and enjoy the fantastic location, the welcoming feel of the cottage, comfy beds, and sociable kitchen / dining area. The tweenagers revert to being children and love staying in the bunk bed room with their friends, playing games and exploring the village, as well as the stream at the bottom of the garden!. The flexible accommodation means that Granny can come along too and feel comfortable and private. We love the time we've spent at Holly House and hope to visit in the near future!
Holly House provided my family and I the perfect base for a lovely long weekend in Norfolk. It is situated in a beautiful village with easy access to the coast and particularly Wells, Burnham Market and Brancaster. The cottage has all the facilities of home which makes it great for the children and catering is easy with the lovely kitchen-diner being perfect for family meals and evening get togethers. The garden is ideal for lazy mornings and the stream at the end of the garden is an absolute bonus. I would definitely recommend to others as the perfect Norfolk retreat.
