  • Experience countryside living on the pristine grounds of Holkham Estate
  • Enjoy long walks from your doorstep in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Property code: OC-2026

Step outside and enjoy the vast Holkham Estate which has everything you could possibly need on a rural break. In Holkham Park, you can watch the deer bounding across the land, take a boat out onto the serene lake, explore the woodland, visit the cafe and even purchase a sculpture. Nearby Holkham village (3 miles) has a wonderful restaurant which serves produce from the estate if you’re looking to dine out. Take a romantic stroll along Holkham Beach (4 miles) or through the sand dunes (5 miles). If you like wildlife, spot the seals at Blakeney Point (11 miles) or take a picnic and do some bird watching at Salthouse Marshes (14 miles).

Approaching the property from its long driveway you’ll be able to admire the impressive attention to detail that well-known architect S. S. Teulon put into the design of this 1847 lodge. Opening the doors and stepping inside, you’ll be met with both original and contemporary features in the living area. The earth-toned colour palette, wooden furniture and wildlife-themed decor are a nod to the surrounding fruitful countryside the property is immersed in. Light a fire and peer out of the patterned tracery window to the Holkham Park grounds from the comfortable sofas. The compact but pretty kitchen area has everything you need to make a romantic meal in the evening: an oven, hob, and microwave. Relax on the king-size bed in the vibrant and rustic bedroom. Inside the bathroom is a shower cubicle and a WC.

Outside the property is an enclosed lawned garden area which is perfect for dogs. Sit outside on the French-style table and chairs with a glass of wine in the evenings. Enjoy a long walk around the Holkham Park grounds which has a lake, walking trails, woodland, cafe, restaurant and gift shop. There are two private parking spaces at the cottage.

The shower was good, and the bed clean and comfortable. The location of the cottage on the Holkham estate was wonderful. Deer were a constant visitor. Excellent little side garden for the dog. We really enjoyed our stay.
