If you head out onto the beach and walk towards Holkham, you may notice signage asking you to pop your dog on a lead in certain areas.

Each year from around the start of April to the end of August, the Holkham National Nature Reserve comes alive as the breeding season begins for shorebirds. One of the biggest challenges Holkham face is protecting these birds from disturbance.

Dogs are welcome on Holkham Beach all year round, but from 1st April to 31st August annually, Holkham have a dogs-on-leads policy in the most vulnerable areas of the beach, leaving over 70% open to walking off lead under close control. In highly sensitive areas, you’ll find roped cordons in place to protect ground nesting Terns, Oystercatchers and Ringed Plovers. Please steer clear of these cordons and be mindful of shingle areas where shorebirds often form territories.

Thank you x

The glorious walk from to Holkham Hall. It took us just over an hour and is 3.9 miles exactly (I know this because the boys made me check just how far they had come on their scooters 😂!)

It’s such a nice walk that my six year old said “mummy, this is really lovely” and for a boy who likes all things fast paced it was really something that he noticed.

So, for a minute, we stopped to smell the pine woods, find sticks that could be mistaken for guns or good sling shots (they are boys after all!) before continuing on the journey to Holkham Estate]

They didn’t moan (well only towards the end - they are four and six after all and it’s their first ever ‘long walk’ and this mummy forgot snacks.. rookie error!!!)

But they were very excited by the childrens packed lunch Holkham Estate] and a delicious hot chocolate 🍫 rounded off by a play on the amazing wooden play area at the Hall.

There really is so much to be grateful for on a day like this…

Half term is in full swing and we are on a mission to find fun and exciting things to do with the boys which don’t cost the earth! Today’s activity: sledging at the snow zone! Fingers crossed nothing gets broken! 😂🙏

If you’ve found some fabulous things to do with the children this half term please comment below and let’s share the love ahead of 🐣 break! 😂😂😂

Welcome to Captains Cottage and The Bolthole - nice to meet you and hello to all of our new followers!

I thought I’d pop a little more information on here about the cottage and the annex for those of you that have been asking!

# Where are you?

We are in Wells-next-to-sea, North, Norfolk. Centrally located, we are a 2 minute stroll to the centre but located in a lovely quiet little street - far enough away from@the hustle and bustle that no one will bother you.

# How many people do you sleep?
2-6 people. We have a luxury super-king sized bed in the master suite (with its own en-suite) and either a king sized bed or twin beds on the second floor with its own bathroom with luxury roll top bath!
In the annex (which is next door to the cottage) we have another luxury super-king bed en-suite - it also has its own kitchenette so is completely self contained!)

choose the your cottage?
We are the perfect retreat for couples, families, multi-generation holidays (or those travelling with an au pair/nanny). The annex provides a separate and luxury space which compliments the cottage’s stylish interior beautifully.
We have log burners galore for wintery weekend breaks and buckets, spades and crabbing pots for any little beach explorers travelling with you.

you accept dogs?
YES we do. We have a gorgeous chocolate Labrador (Hunter) and we couldn’t imagine a holiday without him. So why should you have a holiday without your bestie too? All of the local beaches are dog friendly so- we’ve got your besties holiday covered too!

there many nice places to eat?
Soooo many. We have beautiful eateries within walking distance of the cottage (too many to mention!) and many more within a few minutes drive too! (DM us for recommendations!)

do we book to stay?
Contact

If you have any further questions about us please don’t hesitate to ask, we’d love to help you make your stay magical.

Please share the love and tag someone who you’d love to stay at the cottage with!

What a phenomenal job the RNLI do. We got chatting to the volunteer helpers at the Wells RNLI station today and they were telling us about the help provided by the volunteer crew members to a lady who got stuck out on the spit marsh two weeks ago. Apparently the lady didn’t realise the sea had a tide 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ and she got stuck. 3 VOLUNTEER rescuers endangered their own lives to go out and save her. Isn’t that just human spirit at its absolute best?! Hats off to the volunteers who give up their time to do this. True unsung hero’s. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Back in our happy place for a little Pre-Christmas break.

We’ve walked along to show the boys the new station on the beachfront and have curled up with hot fish and chips from our favourite (the best in wells!), with a Christmas movie!

We’ve got some lovely things planned for our break: the polar express; ; a show and getting the house ready for our lovely Christmas guests…

There is so much to do in north norfolk at this time of year, but if you have any other suggestions, please pop in a comment below. We are always up for a new adventure…

More posts incoming. Stay tuned! X

****AVAILABILITY****
24 JUNE - 30 JUNE

The sun is shining and the beach is calling! Why not treat yourself to a break away that doesn’t involve the chaos of an airport…

Captains Cottage sleeps four people and has two bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en-suite). The Bolthole (the beautiful annexe) sleeps an additional two guests and it also has its own seating area, kitchen and bathroom.
Perfect for a group of friends looking to get away together, but still retain some of your own space, or a family (with the grandparents or nanny too!).
The best bit is we are also dog friendly - so you don’t have to leave your friend at home. They too can join you on some of Englands most beautiful beaches (which are also dog friendly all year round!)

What more could you ask ask for?!

We couldn’t have hoped for a better place to be today, to celebrate Her Majesty’s platinum jubilee.

Honestly, you never disappoint. We’ve had such a fabulous day, made more glorious by the ☀️

We started the day with the children enjoying the epic play area… (including super zip wire!), we then went on a tour of the estate, by tractor (and there’s a lovely story behind that - you’ll have to take the tour to find out what!) which we all thoroughly enjoyed (age range 4-43!)… something for everyone.
We then hit the street food market and had Pad Thai (which was soooo good I couldn’t have eaten two bowls of it) and then for a wander around the walled garden where there was fun for the children (bouncy castle, amazing caving experience, crafting, making bricks for the wall and traditional British games in the garden).

We’ve left full of memories, full of food (a number of ice creams were also consumed on our wanders!) and full of joy.
If you are around this weekend and have no plans, we can definitely recommend this. You won’t be sorry.

Thank you for always making such an effort. The estate is such a lovely place to spend time and just be.
