Your own dedicated Area Manager
To help you navigate the exciting waters of letting self-catering cottages in Norfolk, our amazing Area Manager Amanda is on hand to help you every step of the way, alongside our regional team of in-house specialists.
Amanda has lived and worked under the beautiful, big skies of Norfolk for more than 20 years. She loves exploring the stunning landscapes and coastline with her husband and dogs, Bear and Leon.
Before joining Classic Cottages, Amanda enjoyed 25 years in customer-facing roles, from property management positions in the buoyant Norfolk property market to helping new owners find their perfect holiday home. She really enjoys guiding owners through the process of letting their Norfolk and Suffolk properties, whether they are amongst the many coastal villages with their dog-friendly beaches and beautiful sunsets or small towns with boutique shops and fine eateries.

Why choose Norfolk for holiday letting?
From the expansive coast to the rolling countryside, holidays in Norfolk are popular year-round, with visitors drawn to the rich history and beautiful landscapes. With 90 miles of glorious coastline, watersports and beach days are popular in the summer months, while the Breckland and Thetford Forest pull visitors in for an autumnal display or wintry walk, allowing guests to create their dream Norfolk getaway. Perfect for family friendly holidays, Norfolk is home to an array of fun and fascinating activities and attractions, from historic houses and pretty gardens to theme parks and zoos.
From historic market towns to seaside villages, Norfolk promises countless places to settle down for a restorative stay. Visitors can soak up the idyllic scenes with a breathtaking walk or cycle ride, before returning to their welcoming cottage for an evening of local foods and relaxation.
What should I buy in Norfolk?
Due to its varied landscapes, Norfolk benefits from a range of self-catering holiday cottage options. Dog-friendly cottages in Norfolk with enclosed gardens make it wonderfully easy for people to holiday with their beloved pooch, while holiday homes with hot tubs appeal to a great number of guests, from couples to gatherings with friends.
With so much to see and do year-round, ensuring your holiday cottage is available for out-of-season holidays and short breaks is another excellent way to increase your bookings. Wood burners and open fires create a wonderfully cosy atmosphere for the cooler months.
How much can I earn?

This means we are experts when it comes to pricing holiday lets.
