Your perfect Norfolk miniBreak might look different to everyone… and that’s the beauty of it. 💙

Maybe it’s waking up in a cosy countryside cottage, enjoying a slow morning with a cup of coffee. Or perhaps it’s pitching up by the coast, spending your days exploring Hunstanton and your evenings under the stars.

Fancy something a little different? Our shepherd’s huts and yurts offer a peaceful glamping escape, surrounded by nature and plenty of space to switch off.

Whether you’re planning a family adventure, a romantic getaway, a dog-friendly escape or simply a few days away from the usual routine, Norfolk has a miniBreak waiting for you. 🐾💙

Which one would you choose? 👀

Would your dog run straight into the waves or stay safely on the sand? 😂 These two clearly chose “wet paws, no regrets!”

There’s just something about a beach day that makes dogs forget all about behaving. 😂 Who needs toys when you’ve got waves to chase?

Beach day with the dog, yes or absolutely YES? 💙

Camp in the hay is not a slogan. It is what the field at Holme-next-the-Sea, North Norfolk, UK actually looks like in late summer.

You put the tent in the meadow. Peddars Way is at the gate. Holme Beach is a walk, not a project. The White Horse is around the corner when you want a pint that was not cooked on a stove you packed yourself.

I spent five years getting this site open. High Court. Council conversations I would rather not repeat. The bit I did not expect was how quiet it goes after tea, when the hay holds the last of the heat and the dogs stop pretending they have anywhere else to be.

See you in the hay.

Hay meadow or dune walk first. Which one wins on day one.

Still a few spots. But honestly, I'd look today rather than tomorrow.

Stay over, make it a miniBreak.

Beach mystery time! 👀

We know it’s somewhere along the Norfolk coast… but can you work out which beach this is? 🤔

Drop your guess in the comments, no cheating! 😂👇

And if you’ve been here before, tell us what you love about it! 💙

Sometimes you don’t need a big holiday… just a change of scenery, some fresh sea air and a long walk with your favourite people (and the dogs 🐾) 💙

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get away for a little while, this is it. 😉 LINK IN BIO!

I used to think a cottage break was just a bigger version of a B&B night.

Then I watched a family arrive at The Old Barn near Hunstanton, North Norfolk, UK with bags, a dog, and that look people get when they have been holding the week together with string. Twenty minutes later the kettle was on. The garden chairs were out. Nobody was performing holiday any more.

Thick walls. A door that closes. Private garden. The Coast Path close enough that the dog starts pacing when you pick up the lead. That is the whole product. Not luxury. Just enough room that you can stop organising everyone and start being there.

The Old Barn and The Dairy sit on the same coastal property. Dogs welcome inside. Short breaks as well as full weeks. Gift vouchers for The Old Barn start from £450 if you are shopping for someone who never books themselves a break.

Cottage nights or one night and home. Which one is your lot still arguing about.

The phone's been busy. A few gaps still open if you're quick.

Book your stay.

Friday on the North Norfolk, UK coast is heavy rain at Holme, 11 to 20. That is a hut day. Saturday is sunny. Sunday warms up to 23 with sunny intervals.

Hunstanton high tides BST: Fri 11:29, Sat 12:45, Sun 14:27. Knot season is starting. I do not guess the wader clock. Check RSPB Snettisham, then walk the Coast Path when you are done.

Rain on the roof Friday. Beach and birds after. A handful of nights still open this side of mid-September.

Stay over, make it a miniBreak.

Some people come to North Norfolk, UK for the beach. Fair enough.

Some of us come for the bit where a flat-bottom Norfolk wherry slides into a salt marsh creek and the world goes quiet in a way no spa menu has ever managed. About four hours. Wells harbour start. Tea or c***r on the bank. Dogs welcome. No experience required. You are not racing anything.

This is exactly the sort of activity we mean when we say base for Norfolk. You sleep somewhere sensible near Hunstanton, Holme or Holt. You go and do the thing that stays in your head for months. Coastal Exploration Company run the proper traditional boats out of Wells. We just try to put you within easy reach of them.

Have you ever done a day on the water that reset your week more than a weekend indoors ever could.

Not going to oversell it, but the gaps are going. Check now.

Your base for all of it.

September does something to the North Norfolk, UK coast that August never quite manages.

The light goes lower. The beaches thin out without anyone announcing it. You can walk Holme at seven in the evening and feel like the sand is still deciding who it belongs to. The first proper knot flocks start building on The Wash. The air has that edge that makes a campfire feel earned rather than decorative.

I am not mourning summer. I am just saying the first two weeks of September are when a lot of our best stays happen, and almost nobody plans for them until they are already gone.

Bank holiday is done. School nights creep back in. That is exactly when the coast gets interesting again if you still want a short break before autumn writes its own rules.

Are you Team Last Swim, or Team First Proper Jumpers.

There are still a few dates showing for this summer. Worth checking tonight.

Stay over, make it a miniBreak.
