Beach
A pretty village which is a hidden gem located on the North Norfolk Heritage Coast. Holme has an expansive flat sandy beach, ideal for beach games and sand castles during low tide.
In Autumn Holme Dunes is a great area to spot migrating birds from the NWT Nature reserve with a number of hides and trails.
Village
Holme is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is also where the 50-mile Roman Peddars Way walking route meets the North Norfolk Coastal Path. The village is also on the coastal hopper bus route for those of you that wish to travel the coast line. In the centre of the village is the excellent White Horse gastro pub serving tasty locally sourced food and drinks, with a great garden with play area.
History
As well as various military remains from the Second World War that can be glimpsed from the Nature Reserve, the beach is famous for the 1998 discovery of a hidden Bronze Age timber circle known as ‘Sea Henge’. Now on view at Kings Lynn Museum.
Visit
Old Hunstanton is the neighbouring village and the Golf club course boarders onto Holme. Old Hunstanton has some great eateries, lighthouse and fabulous walks along the unspoilt beaches. Hunstanton has its iconic striped cliffs, many amusements, Sea-life centre, leisure pool and traditional promenade. There is also a horse riding stables close by too!

Lovely cottage, well equipped and we loved the balcony. Close to the coast and access to North Norfolk very good.
A lovely cottage opposite a great pub that does fantastic food. We loved our stay and found the cottage comfy and warm. Really comfortable beds and a great dining room area that our dog could sleep in.
Excellent cottage which we will rebook at some stage. Very practical and clean. No smell of dog on the settee covers which was appreciated. Location allows day walks from the door. Just in case you are not aware The White Horse pub opposite is due to open a bakery and coffee shop and to offer breakfast. Appreciated good sized tea mugs.
Beautifully presented cottage, very warm and cosy with everything you would need for an amazing stay in a lovely location. Nice walks and visits to the white horse directly opposite.
Lovely old cottage with oodles of Norfolk charm. Equipped with all you could need for a comfortable stay. We were cosy by the log burner after a bracing walk on the beach.The pub opposite for Sunday lunch, again with a fire roaring in the grate to welcome you. We have visited North Norfolk coast many times and love to come back to Holme next the Sea and everything the area has to offer.
We have spent several short breaks in Tern Cottage. It is cosy, warm and welcoming for Trevor and I along with our furry friends.For those of us past a certain age the bus pass is a real bonus, with access to a wonderful bus route taking us around the highlights of Norfolk. Handy for a pub crawl.
Thank you Tern !
Beautiful Cottage, very nicely decorated and comfortable. All facilities you would need and a nice little garden to relax in. Close to the sea and lovely coastal walks. Will be staying again.

All Sowerbys holiday cottages are supplied with bed linen and towels and the cost of heating is included in the rental price.
Electric Vehicle charging
Cars may only be charged if there is an EV charging point fitted at the property. The cost of electricity is NOT included in the rental price and Sowerbys Holiday Cottages must be notified if the charger is used and an additional surcharge will be made. Due to insurance purposes, guests must never charge their car using a standard outdoor plug or an extension cable linking to a domestic plug. This is not permitted because of fire regulations regarding wiring, earthing rods and voltage restrictions; it poses a serious fire risk to standard 13 amp sockets and there is a real danger that the body of the vehicle could become live.
