  • A romantic getaway within the impressive grounds of Holkham Estate
  • Enjoy an intimate and cosy atmosphere in this quirky listed gatehouse building
  • Studio accommodation with stylish décor only 4 miles from the coast

Property code: OC-1939

Situated on the grounds of the grand Holkham Estate, this Grade II-listed gatehouse building is a delightful place to stay for a rural getaway. Step outside and explore Holkham Park which boasts a lake, woodland, cycle routes and farmland. Holkham village (2 miles) offers a delightful restaurant which serves local produce from the estate, and there are a couple of cosy cafes too. Take a romantic stroll along the coast at Holkham Beach (4 miles) or disappear for a picnic in the Blakeney Nature Reserve (4 miles) while watching the wildlife and breathing in the fresh air.

Everything you need for a romantic getaway is in one place in this studio property. Walking into the building, the tall windows and high ceilings create a light and airy feel. The wood burner and pair of sofa chairs make the perfect place to get cosy and warm after a day of being out in the countryside. When it’s time for bed, you’ve not got far to walk as the comfortable king-size bed sits just behind. There’s also a WC and separate shower. Waking up in the morning, make use of the toaster, kettle and fridge to get you set up for the day. As this property doesn’t have a hob or oven, you have the perfect excuse to treat yourself to dining out for lunch and dinner.

There’s a lovely lawned garden area outside of the gatehouse, along with the 25,000 acres of historic parkland and woodland within the wider estate. When you arrive, private parking is available for one car.

The cottage was in a perfect location and we were delighted with our choice. The goody bag was a nice touch but we would have preferred basics like milk, bread and butter as there are no shops in the immediate surroundings and frustrating if you arrive late. One loo roll (poor quality) was not enough for 3 nights. We had to wash our dishes outsideRead more as the shower and loo areas are tiny and this isn't clearly explained on your website. The mattress cover was stained and needs replacing. Communication was good getting to the cottage and it was easy to access when we arrived. Hide

Told property didnt have Wi-Fi or fridge and it had both. Glass in toilet door very unnecessary, needs changing to a solid door. Bigger door mat when you come in would be handy to try and capture most of whats on your shoes as you enter, as this just ends up all around the bed area after day or two. Hangi g space would have also been handy. Other tRead morehan that it was very nice. Hide
