Just outside the handsome Norfolk market town of Holt, you could easily drive by this lakeside glamping site without realising it's there. But slow down a little and follow the signs down an unmade lane, and the shepherds huts and bell tents of 'Holt Hollow' are there for you to discover – a rustic, dog-friendly glamping site that is both easily accessible and charmingly remote, with a choice of shepherds huts on one side of the lake, camping pitches on the other and bell tents in the woods. It's a place you can spend a lot of time doing not much at all, but it's also very well placed for seeing the multiple attractions of this corner of North Norfolk, including the coast, which is only about 20 minutes away.

The brainchild of ex-publican Nigel Marsh, the shepherds huts here were made to order in their own workshop, so they fit this location like a glove – cosy romantic retreats for two, with a double bed, a well-thought-out kitchenette with a gas hob, a toasty wood-burning stove and and an en-suite shower room and toilet with lots of hot water. The huts are a good size and each has outside seating overlooking the lake, complete with fire pits and barbecues – perfect for enjoying summer evenings and waiting for the stars to appear. If that all feels a bit too luxurious, then have a look in the woods behind the shepherds huts, where a series of pre-pitched bell tents are good alternative – perfect for large families or groups of friends looking for a more affordable option, while on the far side of the lake there are also opportunities to pitch your own tent – right by the water and within easy reach of the site's washblock, where there are toilets, hot showers and washing-up facilities.

It's a beautiful location, no question, and one that you will want to savour, cooking on the open fire and in general getting back to nature . But it's also very handy for Holt in one direction, where there are lots of places to eat and drink as well as a good selection of indy shops and other businesses, and the village of Edgefield in the other direction, where The Pigs is a good local pub serving excellent food. Further afield, the various attractions of the North Norfolk Coast are close at hand, including Blakeney with its seal-spotting trips, the nature reserve at Cley and more great places to eat at Weybourne and Salthouse. Or pick up the North Norfolk Railway from Holt to Sheringham, which is a thriving and very appealing seaside town. It's also worth noting the same owners have Norfolk Coastal Cottages with mYminiBreak, if that's more your thing.
