Located just outside the village of Hockwold cun Wilton, Willow Holt is in a secluded location, yet within an hour's drive of Norwich, Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and little over an hour to many of the North Norfolk coastal resorts.

The local area includes the beautiful Thetford Forest, with many options for walkers and cyclists, and several important bird-watching reserves are also a short drive away. Please note that due to our rural location, mobile phone reception is not great, and the Broadband speed is slow.

“Ok, but not more than that...”

Response from the owner I am sorry that the cottage did not live up to your expectations. We do advertise ourselves as being in a secluded area, an hour from Norwich and Cambridge. The rural mobile phone reception is patchy, and the Wi-Fi works better on laptops than some mobile phones. We are looking into the problem with the shower as it had not been reported before. At £470 for a week in August, we feel our prices are very competitive.

“Lovely cottage in a peaceful location”

Reviewed 2 Sep 2011

We have stayed at both Blueblue Cottage and Willow Holt several times and each time has been a delight. Both cottages are well equiped and comfortable, situated down a peaceful lane with very little traffic, you really feel like you are away from everything. I have visited with two young boys who love the garden, especially climbing the trees! The owner does a wonderful job to make you feel welcome with milk in the fridge and the best flapjack you have ever tasted! Highly recommended if you are looking for a cosy cottage in a location away from it all.
