The best Airbnbs in Norfolk
The beaches of north Norfolk are surely some of the best in Britain; wide stretches of golden sand or pebbles that draw in a large crowd of holidaymakers year-round and are as dramatic in summer as they are in winter. The villages and towns to head for – Blakeney, Holt, Wells-next-the-Sea – can often be near impossible to find accommodation in, especially in high season, so plan ahead and use our guide of the best Airbnbs in Norfolk to get ahead of the game.
1/7Spinks Nest, Hunworth
Recently renovated using reclaimed materials and incorporating high quality brands such as Woolroom for the mattresses, it's clear that a lot of care and thought has gone into the design of Spinks Nest, an historic cottage in the rural hamlet of Hunworth, 2 miles away from Holt. This would be an equally lovely stay in winter or summer, either curled up in one of the leather armchairs with the wood burner fired up, or out exploring some of Britain's prettiest countryside surrounding the cottage.
Sleeps: 2
From: £178 per night
2/7Thatch Cottage, Horning
With a quaint, storybook exterior that could be straight out of a fairytale, Thatch Cottage was once home to Norfolk farm labourers in the 17th century. The interiors have been updated with modern comforts in mind, while the outside has been immaculately preserved. The two bedrooms have super king beds that can be converted to two singles, making it ideal for both families or groups of friends. Sheets and towels from The White Company, and a bookcase full of holiday reading are thoughtful touches.
Sleeps: 4
From: £105 per night
3/7A Room In The Park, Holkham Hall
For a slightly quirky but delightfully rustic stay in a near unbeatable location, this studio barn on the Holkham Estate is the one to book. It's about as close to the windswept sand of Holkham beach as you can get and the building dates from 1880 and is within striking distance of Wells-next-the-Sea. It's a step back in time, but with breakfast thrown in.
Sleeps: 2
From: £136 per night
4/7The Old Bakery, Burnham Thorpe
This three bedroom house would be a perfect base for a large family, as the sleeping arrangements are split into a double bedroom and two twin rooms. The house was refurbished in 2015 to retain its period character as the old bakery in the charming village where it's located.
Sleeps: 8
From: £145 per night
5/7East Flint, South Creake
Five miles inland from the coast, this traditional flint cottage is well positioned to take in all areas of north Norfolk. Inside, the space is an elegant mix of panelling, muted colours and antiques, with checkerboard tiling in the bathroom and wooden floors throughout.
Sleeps: 4
From: £183 per night
6/7Rose Cottage, Burnham Thorpe
If outdoor space – and lots of it – are key for you, Rose Cottage in the lovely village of Burnham Thorpe is ideal with its sprawling lawned garden spread across two layers with multiple relaxing and dining spots. Inside, think exposed bricks, feature fireplaces and soaring ceilings in the two bedrooms in the eaves.
Sleeps: 4
From: £125 per night
7/7Duck Cottage, Holt
The name 'Duck Cottage' implies that this two bedroom house will be particularly sweet, and it certainly is. A double bedroom and twin room room occupy the upstairs, alongside two bathrooms, while downstairs has a cosy living room, kitchen and dining room that open out onto a beautifully planted and spacious private garden.
Sleeps: 5
From: around £200 per night
