The Retreat is a small destination of two wooden Lodge, fully equipped for 'bed and breakfast'.
The beds are really comfortable, the breakfasts are superb ; and the hosts, Jacqui and Matt settee really accommodating. The site looks out over quiet countryside, however, phone and Internet signals are excellent. Each lodge has its own mini garden.
They are only about 5 minutes from Holt, A Georgian town which is superb from which to explore North Norfolk.
We cannot recommend too highly, and have been for short breaks several times.

Just had a wonderful short stay whilst on a cycling holiday around North Norfolk. It is an ideal location for exploring Holt and the surrounding area. The hosts, Jacqueline and Matthew made us feel incredibly welcome at The Cosy Cabin. It is one of the best B&B we have ever stayed in (and we have stayed in quite a few).

We have just returned from our second stay in the Cosy Cabin, in early October, 2024. Jacqui and Matt are lovely hosts with great knowlege of the local area. Having a hot breakfast brought to the cabin, is a real treat. The cabin is lovely and quiet, surprisingly warm, and the bed is very comfortable. The many windows mean it is very light. The small fridge is a great addition and means that you can have real milk in a hot drink. The garden is beautiful, and a lovely place to sit and have coffee to start the day. The busy town of Holt is not far away. Plenty of places to eat in the evening. Booking in advance is a good idea. We can't wait to come back to this beautiful part of the world. Being able to see the Milky Way from the garden is a definite bonus.

We stayed in the Cosy cabin at The Retreat Cabins in Holt. Jacqui & Matt we?re great hosts who were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The wooden cabin was located in their beautiful garden, overlooking farm fields so was lovely and quiet and an ideal space for 2 people - Comfy bed, hot shower and cold fridge. Coffee & tea-making resources were provided with nice additional personal touches too. We were given a breakfast menu to choose from (juice, cereal, full cooked English breakfast, toast & selection of preserves, coffee/tea) and the breakfast was personally delivered by the hosts to our cabin. It was excellently cooked and absolutely delicious - quite a holiday treat! The Cabins are ideally located for visiting nearby villages or the Norfolk coast and close to the station in Holt for riding the steam train to Sherringham. We highly recommend this property for a holiday stay.
Rooms: Nicely decorated quiet cabin, well-resourced in host?s beautiful garden and over-looking farmland
Nearby activities: Steam train from Holt to Sherringham

Food and drinks: As described in my review - absolutely fabulous breakfast cooked and personally delivered to us each morning at our cabin. A real treat to eat!

We had a perfect time at Retreat Cabins. Jacqueline could not have been more accommodating. It made the weekend extra special, and was an ideal location for a wedding at Voewood.
Jacqueline made us feel so welcome and went beyond what we expected: ironing shirts, providing extra breakfast, tidying up after us ... She is a star.

My stay in the Lux-Retreat Cabin was very welcoming. It's off the main road so nicely tranquil, beautiful setting with lovely shared garden to sit out in or own private seating area which has a sunny south facing aspect, a cleverly laid out garden to give privacy and a great location to explore north Norfolk, especially the coastline. Jacqueline and Matt were lovely approachable hosts, striking the perfect balance, they checked I had everything I needed without being intrusive. Fabulous veggie cooked breakfast and room 'top ups' each day. I would stay again and can recommend others to stay too.

Very nice location, private cabins. Cosy cabin is further from carparking. Hosts friendly and bring breakfast to you in private.

We had a wonderful stay at the retreat whilst in Norfolk for a Voewood wedding. Jacqueline and Matthew were so welcoming and attentice, going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable - the breakfast is amazing and the little touches like the chocolates, biscuits and tea make it a perfect room to relax. The bed is also super comfy! If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely be booking again - thank you for having us ?

We stayed in The Lux cabin and it really was impressive. The owners are the perfect hosts. The cabin was immaculate and has plenty of space for two adults and a dog. There were so many little touches that made us feel really cared for. Breakfast was delicious and delivered to your cabin. This is located in a beautiful part of Norfolk and close to many beaches and country walks. We cannot recommend this cabin enough and would definitely return.

Stayed in the Lux Cabin for 3 nights to celebrate a dear friend's 50th birthday. The Cabin really was a "home away from home", the breakfast plentiful and the games room a treasure trove where some very happy memories were created. A special thanks to our wonderful hosts Jacqui and Matthew for their warm hospitality. Would highly recommend and will certainly be visiting again.

There is only one word to describe The Retreat Cabins....FANTASTIC!!!! From the warm welcome to the scrummy breakfast, to the little finishing touches. The whole experience is peaceful, relaxing and definitely the place to recharge your batteries. Additionally, nothing is too much trouble for the very friendly owners. Wonderful.

Perfect cosy, warm and welcoming cabins a short drive from Sheringham and Holt where your host cannot do enough to make your stay perfect. Attention to detail and a cracking breakfast (choose all or anything from cereals, toast to full English) and we had a fantastic girl?s weekend celebrating a ?big? birthday. Plenty to do around and about from forest and seafront walks, Sheringam?s Little Theatre, afternoon tea venues, pubs and ?Norfolks best Sunday lunch? (it was!!) all within easy reach. Or just relax in the cabin with a bottle or a cuppa and a book and enjoy the peace and quiet. If you need somewhere to stay in the area I totally recommend!
