Our edit of the best AirBnBs in Norfolk
The beaches of north Norfolk are surely some of the best in Britain, wide stretches of golden sand or pebbles that draw in a large crowd of holidaymakers year-round and are as dramatic in summer as they are in winter. The villages and towns to head for – Blakeney, Holt, Wells-next-the-Sea – can often be near impossible to find accommodation in, especially in high season, so plan ahead and use our guide of the best AirBnBs in Norfolk to get ahead of the game.

1/13Wolterton
If only all AirBnBs could be as grand and impressive as the East Wing of Wolterton Hall, a stately home with Regency furnishings set in acres of private parkland. The wing sleeps 14 guests in seven enviable bedrooms – think canopy beds and swathes of lovely fabrics – with eight bathrooms to share between yourselves. While the living spaces are full of traditional antiques, the bathrooms and kitchen have a more modern appeal.

2/13Holkham Hall
For a slightly quirky but delightfully rustic stay in a near unbeatable location, this studio barn on the Holkham Estate is the one to book. It's about as close to the windswept sand of Holkham beach as you can get and the building dates from 1880 and is within striking distance of Wells-next-the-Sea. It's a step back in time, but with breakfast and commerce thrown in.

3/13Burnham Thorpe
This three bedroom house would be a perfect base for a large family, as the sleeping arrangements are split into a double bedroom and two twin rooms. The house was refurbished in 2015 to retain its period character as the old bakery in the charming village where it's located.

4/13Binham
This Grade II-listed cottage is the village's old forge, and it's one of the loveliest houses in one of Norfolk's most charming little villages. Binham may be small but it's well placed for the surrounding beaches and bigger towns, plus it has wonderful walks, the ruins of an abbey, a butcher, village shop and pub to explore. With a mature garden and comfortable interiors, this house is always in demand.

Right in the middle of Cley – one of the best villages in Norfolk – with uninterrupted views of the famous windmill, this 18th century townhouse is a real find.

9/13Stiffkey
There are few places as lovely as this 18th century brick and flint cottage, with a staircase leading from the airy living space up to the master suite, complete with a tub in the bedroom. There's an adjoining shower room too and well-equipped compact kitchen off the living space. What's more, it's very close to Stiffkey's popular Red Lion pub.

10/13Holt

A double bedroom and twin room room occupy the upstairs, alongside two bathrooms, while downstairs has a cosy living room, kitchen and dining room that open out onto a beautifully planted and spacious private garden.
Sleeps: 5
From: £124 per night - Wells-next-the-Sea%22,%22brand%22:{%22name%22:%22%22},%22id%22:%22618939a554d217939a070ddb%22,%22index%22:10,%22contentType%22:%22photo%22,%22offers%22:[],%22component%22:%22gallery_slide_component%22}%22 data-testid="GallerySlideWrapper">
11/13Wells-next-the-Sea
If you like your seaside cottages with a lighter, brighter feel than usual, then this Wells house is the one to book. A judicious use of bold colour adds vibrancy to the space, which has a few nautical notes in the decoration, alongside chintzy florals and a plethora of prints on the walls. What's more, it's a mere stroll from the harbour.

12/13Great Bircham
This four bedroom property has a lot to offer, thanks to the extension that holds the beamed living space with doors looking out onto the lush gardens across one side. There's a kitchen and dining room attached to that, with another living room in another part of the house and four bedrooms and two bathrooms up top.

13/13Blakeney
Squashy tub armchairs, a country kitchen and dining room, beams and flagstone floors all add to the charm that Pear Tree Cottage oozes. It's a cool idyll in summer and cosy bolthole in colder weather, with a conservatory and garden for lapping up every bit of sunshine. Even better then that it's in one of Norfolk's prettiest seaside villages.
Sleeps: 4
From: £85 per night
