Located in central Holt, “The Lawns” is not just an ordinary self catering holiday cottage or a barn conversion – it is a large (Grade II listed) Victorian house built in Georgian style with taste and opulence.

Our guests – birthday party celebrations (lots of those), family get-together parties, just family holidaymakers. Occasional quiet retreat guests that come as a couple or two, or even just as one person. We are dog and child-friendly. Having discovered us, many of our guests come back time and again – large amounts of our business is repeat bookings.

The house and grounds are large allowing children and pets lots of space to run around and explore. We have a Hot Tub – a £10,000 HotSpring Relay (extra charge applies). A range of unique shops are just a short walk away, as well as exceptional places to eat such as Byfords cafe; Nina’s wine bar and a number of pubs.

“We booked the house & apartment for 3 nights for my wife’s 40th birthday and had a fantastic party weekend for 15 of us. We had a brilliant time, and loved all the space, the huge grounds, the hot tub, the cosy fireplace and having a table that could seat 18 for dinner. Lots of parking, and great to be in a “country house” whilst being right in town so people could wander out and do their own thing. Easy buses to sheringham for trains (and swimming) and having a supermarket literally next door made things very easy too. Very helpful hosts – all good. Thanks for a fantastic stay! We’d definitely come again.”

“Booked this house for hen weekend celebrations. The house was absolutely perfect for our needs. It slept 10 of us comfortably and was well equipped with everything you could need. The gardens are immaculate and a joy to gaze at from the hot tub! The location is great and so convenient to have a supermarket next door for those provisions you forget to pack. It has a very grand ambience yet we didn’t feel that we couldn’t relax and make ourselves at home. Some cottages have hundreds of rules to abide by but we were trusted by the owners to respect the house and we really appreciated that. Will definitely consider this house for future occasions.”

“We had a superb time. The dining and living areas are fantastic. One of our party booked immediately for another break…”

“The perfect backdrop to a family holiday. We’ve been coming to the Lawns for 5 years. Keep returning, because it has given us so many happy memories. I love the large dramatic house, it brings air of luxury and decadence without imposing fear of spoiling it. The garden is gorgeous and spacious. The perfect arena for hide and seek or childish adventures and badminton. With facilities, entertainment and great food close at hand it is my easiest week of the year. “
