A beautiful boutique named after owner Kay Loombes Grandmother, Victoria Goss in Holt offers an array of gorgeous things for your home, bath, body and wardrobe. Pretty things with just the slightest air of yesteryear adorn almost every inch.
Tucked behind Shirehall Plain on Bull Street in the charming Georgian market town of Holt, Victoria Goss stocks very carefully selected products that are crafted with natural materials (think baby-soft bamboo & cotton bathmats and Irish lambs wool throws by Foxford). It is the ultimate North Norfolk black book secret for sourcing inspired and unique artisan goodies for yourself or your home (also a good place for gifts if you can bear to part with what you buy!).
Visit Victoria Goss in Holt for sumptuous cotton nightwear by the likes of Fair Play, Star Dreamer, Calla Lily and Damask. Combine this with high thread count cotton bed linen, embroidered pillowcases, divine fragranced draw liners and natural wax candles by Max Benjamin and create a blissful bedroom sanctuary you’ll never want to leave.
Pamper yourself with Victoria Goss’s own indulgent range of rose-based toiletries. Handmade from natural and active botanical ingredients, the range is perfect for normal, mature and/or sensitive skin. As well as skincare and body products, it includes delights such as ‘Bouquet of Roses’ Scented Ironing Water. Just sublime.
Also pick up the Gin & Tonic range by The Littlecote Soap Co. Featuring organic Lemongrass and Juniper Essential Oils and “Made In The British Countryside”, this highly popular collection of goodies is great for general aches and pains and for uplifting the spirits. Not unlike a browse in Victoria Goss then, really.
A brief description cannot possibly do justice to the wonderful selection that awaits inside Victoria Goss. With a friendly and personal service, and plenty to delight, Victoria Goss is like the ultimate old-fashioned bed, bath & beauty emporium, transported to the 21st century.
Gorgeous handmade paper gift-wrapping service available.
Open Mon-Sat 9.30am-5pm (10am-4pm, January & February) (or shop online through the Victoria Goss website at anytime).
BloominGorgeous
BloominGorgeous (Florist).
16 Ulph Place, Overy Road, Burnham Market,
Norfolk, PE31 8HQ.
Tel: 01328 730375 / 01328 730379
or 07825 882868.
In the BloominGorgeous shop at Burnham Market you will find beautiful flowers, unusual plants, handmade cards and gifts from around the world. Friendly, fully trained staff are always on hand to advise and help you choose from a large range of flowers and plants.
BloominGorgeous considers themselves very lucky to have their florist shop within a beautiful old building, full of character and style. They extend an invitation for you to join them for a while and relax in beautiful surroundings with a piece of delicious, homemade cake and a cup of tea or coffee. There is one large table upstairs where you can see Owner Andrea St. Quintin and her team at work with flowers and plants, or two smaller tables downstairs. There is a large customer car park at the rear, so parking is never a problem.
BloominGorgeous’ work can be seen throughout many hotels and businesses in the North Norfolk area, on table, bars, receptions and in guest bedrooms.
Whilst BloominGorgeous uses some local growers, the rural/coastal location means that they often have to go further afield for their stock. Being years ahead in floral design, Holland, Belgium and Germany are their preferred destinations, where Andrea can keep abreast of all the latest floral trends and designs.
Andrea and Janine have been very busy since the relocation of the shop in March 2010. Both have invested time and money in training as Balloon Artists, creating stunning designs for special occasions such as birthdays, weddings and parties. Corporate events can be dramatically enhanced with balloon arrangements and designs in corporate colours. BloominGorgeous are also able to supply balloons for balloon releases using biodegradable products. Further details are available on their website.
Andrea has spent a very hectic and enjoyable 9 months working alongside Wally Klett, a German Master Florist, learning how to create her stunning wedding designs. Andrea qualified at the highest level, achieving the highest mark ever awarded to a Wally Klett student.
2011 saw the successful introduction of workshops, courses and demonstrations, so keep an eye on the BloominGorgeous website for upcoming dates and times. Most will all be held at the Burnham Market shop and will vary from morning, afternoon and evening, with possibly a couple of all day ones. The content and subject will vary in order to attract all ages and all abilities. Come along and see why Andrea and her team are besotted with flowers.
BloominGorgeous are happy to advise and assist on:
- bouquets and arrangements
- corporate and event flowers
- wedding flowers
- funeral tributes
- christening flowers
- balloon arrangements
Demonstrations, children’s parties and workshops available upon request.
EnjoyMent Offers:

Norfolk Home and Garden
Norfolk Home & Garden.
32 High Street, Hunstanton, Norfolk, PE36 5AF.
Tel: 01485 534509.
Norfolk Home & Garden has been carefully sourcing unusual plants and distinctive decorations for the home and garden since 2008. Customer demand has seen the business expand to deliver their wonderful products from a shop on the main High Street in Hunstanton town centre, as well as through their website.
A business run by family and friends, Norfolk Home & Garden is passionate about quality and being able to offer accessories and gifts that are ‘just that little bit different’. Some items in store are locally made, while others (such as the delightful wood carvings) come from as far a field as Indonesia, where they are Fair Trade, being bought directly from the woodcarvers themselves. Around 90% of what you’ll find on offer is hand crafted, making for a really unique gift or talking point for your home or living space.
Wood, and natural materials feature quite heavily on the ranges stocked at Norfolk Home & Garden. The fabulous ‘Driftwood’ collection (as featured on TVs ’60 Minute Makeover’) comprises one-off pieces such as mirrors, clocks and candleholders that are, as the name suggests, formed from genuine driftwood washed up on the North Norfolk Coast.
Norfolk Home & Garden are happy to discuss bespoke items – they make signs to order, for example. If you have something in mind (be it a lampshade, a mirror or a bird house), owner Debbie and team are more than happy to talk it through with you.
A great place to find beautiful and special objects for your home or garden, or to give as a gift, Norfolk Home & Garden is well worth a visit.

High Street, Cley-next-the-Sea, near Holt, Norfolk, NR25 7RF.
Tel: 01263 740134.
Made In Cley is a veritable gem on the high street in Cley-next-the-Sea, one of the most authentic and charming North Norfolk coastal villages you’re likely to encounter.
Established in 1983 with 3 potters and 1 jeweller, Made In Cley occupies a gorgeous double fronted Grade II listed regency shop building that used to be the Village Store (so nice that it is still operating as a purveyor of local wares). Now with a team of 8 resident potters and a jeweller, Made In Cley exists as a high quality gallery, showcasing work made in the on-site workshops.
Inside, you’ll find a wide selection of stoneware pottery for the kitchen and dining table, ranging from the very functional to the highly decorative. You’ll also find a few one off ornamental pieces. Not only beautiful to look at, the pots, plates and bowls produced here are ovenproof and dishwasher safe. No wonder then, that restaurants in London, Dublin, Paris and Amsterdam use tableware by Made in Cley. Bowls from Made In Cley have been spotted on Simon Hopkinson’s ‘The Good Cook’, shown on BBC1.
In addition to functional pottery, there is an inspiring range of sculptural and decorative ceramics to admire and buy, including tile panels and garden pots.
As well as pottery, Made In Cley sells exquisite contemporary jewellery in silver and gold, often incorporating precious and semi-precious stones and pearls. Each piece is individually designed and handmade and commissions are welcome.
Stunning photography and art prints, predominantly of North Norfolk coastal scenes, by Wolfgang Altmann are also for sale at Made In Cley.

Cley-next-the-Sea, Norfolk, NR25 7RP.
Tel: 01263 740209.
Historic Cley Windmill is arguably one of the most memorable and delightful places to visit in Norfolk.
An imposing early 18th Century windmill in the heart of the charming coastal village of Cley, it offers an unrivalled experience in accommodation and dining due to its unique nature and super high-quality standards. As if these were not reason enough to call, the recent addition of an on-site ‘Windmill shop’ only increases the draw of the place.
The shop specialises in locally sourced gifts, souvenirs and general loveliness alongside thoroughly useful items such as Ordinance survey maps and wildlife guides.
The ‘Cley Windmill’ own-branded items including ‘Juicy Jelly’ preserve and gorgeous handmade soap are just adorable. Our personal favourites are the ‘I’d Rather Be At Cley Windmill’ china mugs.
Gorgeous jewellery that is exclusively stocked within the shop is handmade by a local Cley resident. What better reminder of a fantastic visit to the Norfolk coast?
