Sybil Cottage Holme-next-the-sea
Sleeps 8, from £940 to £1770 per week
Sybil Cottage is a lovely contemporary Norfolk carrstone cottage which, in our opinion, has one of the best gardens available for a holiday home in the area. Situated in a quiet lane within 10-15 minutes walk to the sand dunes on Holme beach, the cottage has almost an acre of private gardens with an outdoor children's playhouse and 2 lawned areas leading to an attractive woodland garden which even has a zip slide at the far end! A well-presented cottage with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms providing perfect holiday accommodation throughout the year for 1 or 2 families, with the added advantage of a downstairs bedroom and bathroom and only a short walk to the local pub.

Bedroom 1: This is a fabulous room which was created when the cottage was extended to make a wonderful master bedroom with a balcony overlooking the large rear garden.

There is a separate en-suite shower room with walk-in shower, hand basin and WC.

Please note that the maximum occupancy for Sybil Cottage is 8 people (despite there being additional beds).
Outside
To the front of the cottage is a long lawn with a driveway for off-street parking for up to 3 cars. Entrance through a wooden gate to the rear. There is almost an acre of garden with a large private lawned and terraced area nearest the cottage with outside furniture, a hammock and a barbecue (charcoal). Leading on from this is a second lawned area with a children's play area and trampoline (please note this is not netted and therefore supervision is required at all times). There is a children's playhouse with a great selection of toys and games, mini pool table, TV and sofa. Continuing down the garden there is a small pond and then it becomes an attractive cleared woodland area - a brilliant play for the children to play with a zip slide at the far end.
The sandy coast at Holme-next-the-Sea is approximately 10-15 minutes walk across the picturesque Redwell marshes to join the Norfolk Coastal path, and the local pub "The White Horse" only a couple of minutes walk away.

Guest Reviews
What a wonderful haven especially for children (big and small!). Well equipped, lovely master bedroom but the garden is just amazing.
Thank you
The Macholls - 16/09/2017
Another great week in Norfolk! Down for the tennis and a win! The sun shone all week. Holme beach and Old Hunstanton beach are great.
Ate at the yurt (Shucks) in Thornham - very good especially the burgers. Love love love Thornham Deli!
The garden is a delight. Loved the massive bean bags for the garden and the zip wire.
The Barlow's - 26/08/2017
We've had a very enjoyable week here in this lovely house and fantastic garden. Our children loved the zip wire and all the garden games. We were joined by our Mums on the Sunday and Dad on Thursday so three generations and plenty of space for us all. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen extremely well equipped. Lovely location and enjoyable walk to the beach.
The children liked the bunk room and the master bedroom is spacious and the balcony great with a lovely view of the garden.
We would have loved to have stayed longer and hope to come back one day. Thank you.

What a lovely time we have had at Sybil Cottage. The grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed their times in your amazing garden that goes on, seemingly forever. What a wonderful main garden too. Every blessing to all who assist in running this holiday home.
The Gee's - 15/07/2017
Many thanks for a lovely week. Children adored the freedom of the garden and we enjoyed the peace whilst they played! Would recommend boat trip tio see the seals from Morston - we used Beans Boats. Also the lovely old fashioned sweet shop in Burnham Market (Mables). Lovely walk from the house to the Holme Visitor Centre and then on to Thornham for deli pit stop (take away picnic).
The Earle Family - 01/07/2017
A very enjoyable stay in your lovely house. The children enjoyed the fascinations of the garden (and the cows in the field next door!) plus the activities provided.. We loved teh village setting and the proximity of the local pub (with playground!). Lots of interesting bird life in the area and some wonderful local beaches. We all loved spending a wet day at the Sealife Centre in Hunstanton and two glorious days in Wells. The 5 day stay was all too short - we didn't want to go home!
The Marshes and Browns - 13/05/2017
We have had a wonderful holiday in your lovely cottage. The children enjoyed the summerhouse toys!
Thank you
Baker Family - 28/08/2016
Fantastic week in Norfolk - down for tennis week and the sun shone! The garden and games room are super - the kids (13 and 11) loved the zip wire and basketball hoop and the garden games were great.
Thornham Deli was as great as we remembered, as was the White Horse at Brancaster. Do try Eric's fish and chips at Orchard Drove and the afternoon tea at Titchwell Manor and go to Titchwell Bird Reserve.
Thank you for a lovely week.
The Barlows - 20/08/2016
Was fascinated by the pictures of the beautiful girls during the years - our home is full of photos of 5 lovely girls and 3 boys! An exciting garden - the young grandsons were thrilled with it.
The beautiful weather kept us in the gardens for the first day and a half - most unusual. Such a warm homely atmosphere around the cottage.
Grandma Shaw - 13/08/2016
Thank you for allowing us to use your delightful home in Holme, with its most amazing garden. 2 little boys have been in their element especially when we explored the 'Gruffalo Wood'.
The beach days we've enjoyed have been superb and morning walks to the sea have been invigorating. 2 big boys have relished the proximity of The White Horse for their daily revival.
All in all a memorable holiday.
The Allen Family - 06/08/2016
We had a fabulous week. The cottage is just perfect and the gardens are amazing. They kept a 6 5 4 and 3 year old entertained all week! We enjoyed Snettisham Park and Hunston beach is great.
We hope to come back soon!
Alibone, Shut and Swetman Families - 30/07/2016
We would like to thank you for the lovely peaceful stay at Sybil Cottage. A perfect getaway for busy city ladies. This home put us all at ease and peace with its comfort and warmth.
The log fire is a real treat. We had great weather and took the walk down to Holme Nature Reserve. Great place to dine - nearby The Orange Tree - yummy.

Location
Holme is also famous for being the site of Sea Henge, a 4,500 thousand year old Bronze Age tree circle discovered on the beach. There is a fabulous stretch of open sandy beach backed by sand dunes and the Nature Reserve where there are a number of hides and many different varieties of birds have been spotted.
There is a good local pub, The White Horse, serving good local food and ales. Hunstanton golf course, a renowned links course, runs into Holme and there are riding stables nearby too.
