1 Bedroom Cottage in Edgefield

Secluded in quiet countryside just outside Holt, this handcrafted shepherd’s hut is a cosy retreat for couples or solo travellers seeking a slower pace of life. Wake to the sound of birdsong and crisp country air before exploring nearby paths. Holt Country Park (1 mile) winds through woodland and open heath, while Holt itself (2 miles) enchants with Georgian streets, independent shops, art galleries and welcoming cafes. A little further afield, the dramatic North Norfolk Coast (6 miles) stretches out with sandy beaches, salt marshes and wide skies, while the rivers and waterways of the Norfolk Broads (20 miles) invite boat trips or scenic riverside strolls.


Built in the style of traditional shepherds’ huts, this snug hideaway blends rustic charm with thoughtful touches for comfort. Sunlight floods the interior through the windows, while insulated walls keep the hut warm during cooler nights. Inside, a double bed, compact kitchenette, wood burner, and bar-style seating create an inviting environment, complemented by an en-suite shower and gentle ambient lighting. Logs, fire starters and matches are supplied for the wood burner, and a bag of charcoal is included for the BBQ, creating the perfect setting for fireside evenings.


Outside, the lakeside setting encourages laid-back moments. Deck chairs, hammocks and a fire pit provide a serene spot to watch the natural surroundings, listen to wildlife and savour the peaceful atmosphere. One vehicle can be parked on-site, giving easy access. This is a true off-grid retreat, with no electricity for devices, no Wi-Fi and limited mobile signal—an invitation to disconnect fully and immerse yourself in the calm of Norfolk’s countryside.
