Are you all about coastal charm, where morning coffees come with sea views and the salty breeze lingers long after sunset? Or does a countryside retreat call your name, with rolling fields, serene seclusion, and the slow rhythm of nature?

Tucked behind faded red brick and Dutch gables in the heart of Burnham Market, Seven is a retreat that does things a little differently. Actually, a lot differently. Bold, playful & always with a sense of ease, it’s a place where togetherness flows as effortlessly as quiet moments. A-frame windows open onto the secluded garden, a secret library boats a viewing gallery, and bi-fold doors blur the lines between indoors and out, while corridor bowling, endless games of sardines, and sun-drenched suppers set the tone for carefree days. And then there’s the coast full of beaches, pubs, and golden sunsets. This is the ultimate antidote to city life. From £21pppn.

Morning walks on endless beaches, golden afternoons hunting for eggs in sun-dappled gardens, and tasty suppers under the first warm evenings-Easter on the coast is nothing short of magical.

And with our handpicked retreats, every moment feels that little bit more special, whatever you’re into. Easter plans, made perfect.

Life at Seefeld - hiding in the quiet folds of North Norfolk - means waking to a world of laidback luxury and the wild beauty of the coast. Effortlessly blending California-cool interiors with nature’s ever-changing backdrop, this retreat is a haven for all those craving a little reset. A little downtime. A little adventure.
It’s a place where the morning light floods through endless windows, evenings glow with firepit warmth, and every moment in between is wrapped in home comforts. Think Santorini-white walls and timber cladding that frame the world outside, the kids shooting hoops in the garden, s’mores melting over open flames, and sunsets on the sand as you watch the tides roll in. Seefeld is a place to breathe, to pause, to simply be.

Book from £20pppn.

There’s nowhere like Holkham. Nowhere at all. A historical house nestled within 25,000 acres of parkland, rippled beaches and pine forests, here lies a place you can spend an entire day of your stay and still not experience it all.

Explore the stunning state rooms and grand glass houses, stop by the coffee shop before heading to the woodland playground spot, hire bikes, row across the lake and take endless videos of the memories you make. Picnic amongst the dunes, stroll across the sands at sunrise, wander around the walled garden and take things up a level on the ropes course. This truly is the gem of Norfolk.

As always, we’ve been busy pretty curating a dreamy collection of unique retreats, from beach boltholes with saltmarsh vistas to converted barns that boast laidback luxury at its finest. So without further ado, here are the newest additions to the Barefoot portfolio.

Golden dunes, endless sands, sandy islands and the kind of forget-me-not beauty that lingers long after you’ve left - if there’s one thing North Norfolk does better than anywhere, it’s beaches. But to collate them all into one post would be an impossible task, so we’re calling this the Heacham to Holkham edition, taking you from Heacham’s west-facing sands, past pastel-coloured beach huts, tidal creeks, salt marshes and towering dunes, all the way to Holkham’s dream beach scene. Here are the ultimate places for barefoot wanderers and windswept souls alike.

Step into a cottage so captivating, it’s got a guestbook filled with stories and memories.
And it’s easy to see why. Hiding away in the heart of it all, Rose Cottage has a sandy toe in the best parts of our coast, making it a doddle to explore each part. Morning strolls along secret beaches, Sunday Lunches at locally-loved pubs, entire days exploring the endless grounds of the far-from-humble Houghton Hall, bike rides around Holkham’s grounds and slow afternoons in the garden, soaking up the sun as you enjoy the sound of a Rosé being poured. And at the heart of it all, you have this cosy bolthole to call yours. Book from £45 pppn.

Gather your nearest and dearest because Seaview Barn is the perfect invitation to step away from the everyday and escape to a place where the coast is on your doorstep, sprawled out in front of you. More than a luxury retreat, this barn is a moment in time; a secluded sanctuary where chalkstone walls, rustic beams, and exposed brick tell tales of bygone adventures, spurred on by the wild beauty beyond. Hiding on the wild edges of Titchwell, get ready to enjoy front-row seats to rolling dunes, salt-kissed air, and sunsets that linger long after the last light fades. Think mornings coffees and a view, afternoons chasing the tide, and al fresco suppers beneath star-strewn skies. This is escapism at its most effortless. From £29 pppn.

Hiding in a coastal nook of North Norfolk, where salt marshes melt into golden sands, Willow Lodge is a rare retreat woven with nautical charm and contemporary elegance. From its chalkstone façade to the driftwood accents that pockmark each room, this a bolthole full of by-the-sea charm where open-plan living sets the scene for unhurried mornings, days filled with laidback adventure, and fireside evenings with your favourite people. And then there’s the little moments in between.

Supper parties framed by garden views, secret snugs hiding a pool table and cinema vibes, and a bath beneath the stars for the ultimate wind-down. And on your doorstep, well, there’s a world of deli breakfasts, secret beaches, quiet creeks, post-beach feasts in locally-loved pubs, boutique shops, pizza nights in cosy yurts and endless jaunts laying in wait on either side of this village. Welcome to Willow Lodge.

Huge vistas of sand lined by pines, the prettiest beach huts you’ve ever seen, winding estuaries that reveal secret beaches, rolling dunes that hide little pockets of paradise and places only the locals know about, in this edition of Norfolk’s best beaches, we’re taking you from Wells to Weybourne, and each impossibly different stretch of coast in between. Enjoy.

Disappear to No.1 The Hides, a horizon-kissed hideaway where Titchwell’s salt marshes, rolling fields, and endless sea unfold on the other side of your bedroom window, while the rolling hills of Titchwell sit pretty from your living room. Blurring the lines between reality and daydream, your mornings begin with golden sunrises, the distant murmur of waves, and the promise of adventure waiting just beyond the garden gate, where you’ll find an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Oh yeah, this stylish escape trades the rush of everyday life for secluded beaches, open skies, and a pair of e-bikes to take you wherever the tide pulls you. Book from £21 pppn.

There’s something magical about escaping to lazy Days, a bolthole for two with the dreamiest of views from its secluded spot above the water’s edge of Burnham Overy Staithe. And the best part: it was designed to make the most of life on the coas. Soak up the sunset from your bedroom window, wake up with a coffee in your suntrap courtyard, wander down to the harbour for a quick dip, spend the day at Scolt Head Island with a picnic in the dunes, pop into The Hero for a late lunch and then head back to your cosy cottage to watch the coastal countryside —the fields, saltmarshes, creeks and sea —change with the colours of a dropping sun. Book now from just £41 pppn.
