We're not going to lie: as one of THE top hotspots for family holidays in the UK,  holiday properties in North Norfolk, particularly family-friendly ones, are booking up fast. 

New listings and newly renovated properties in Norfolk Hideaways portfolio, however, mean that the area's premier holiday lettings agency still has some amazing family properties for the summer season.

"We've experienced a 30% increase on bookings year on year," says Hetti Simpson, owner of Norfolk Hideways, North Norfolk's premier holiday lettings agency. "All the signs are that 2015 will eclipse even the bumper, record-breaking year of 2014."

Boasting unspoiled beaches (Holkham is perennially voted  'best in Britain), nature reserves (RSPB's Pensthorpe, Titchwell), sleepy villages and Burnham Market (a.k.a. 'Chelsea-on-Sea), North Norfolk has retained its Olde Worlde charm and will see over 2 million visitors this year. The fact that the HRH's William and Kate have made North Norfolk their home (earning the area the moniker  of 'The Royal Coast') has only seen its popularity increase.
