What to do in Holt?

In the House:
 There is Panasonic Viera 42" plasma TV with Freesat, DVD and VHS players, a large selection of videotapes, DVD's, novels and board games. Wireless broadband. Pure DAB radio. There is also spectacular view out of the windows onto the garden.  

In the Garden:
There, on almost 2 acres we have formal, enclosed lawn to play on, ideal for ball games; through to garden, where there are 5 chickens (3 of them are rescue hens) and 1 guinea pig. There is also a large 16' trampoline with safety sides. There is also barbeque and seating area next to the house. "Butterfly" Table Tennis table.

Or, if you like gardening, we have a patch of soil where you can dig/plant/weed to your heart's content  - just ask when booking.

In Holt:
Eating out: we are asked this question regularly, and our usual answer is - we are spoilt for choice. Here is a list of a few suggestions:
- Kings Head in Holt www.kingsheadholt.org.uk/new/- owned by the same people who run Byfords. Stake house has just been opened, looks very nice;
- Byfords in Holt www.byfords.org.uk - very posh and very tasty;
- Wine bar Balthazars in Holt (read glowing reviews here) It is a very cosy place to just pop in;
- Butlers in Holt. This is my personal favorite, and it is a very short walk away;
- The Lawns Hotel in Holt. Nice bar there;
- Indian restaurant "Taste of India" The restaurant seems to be always full, but I cannot offer any comment, as I have not been there for a very long while;
- Chinese takeaway "Sunny" - very nice.

Shopping: again, we are spoilt for choice here. One of the most commended shops is Bakers and Larners (known as Norfolk Harrods). There are many other attractive shops in Holt, be that fashion (our favourite is Oola Boola on the High Street), galleries, antiques and many other kinds.

Others worth noting: Holt steam train and friendly low-cost cycle hire.
