  • Impressive lodge-style property overlooking the spectacular fields and salt marshes of Holkham Hall estate
  • Cosy interiors and a roaring wood burner for relaxing evenings
  • Exclusive discount to a range of on-site amenities, and a welcome gift
Property code: OC-2339

Boasting trendy sumptuous interiors, enjoy glorious unspoilt views across the neighbouring fields and marshes from every window of this exceptionally renovated former agricultural building surrounded by the equally exceptional countryside of the Holkham Estate, just moments from the peaceful escape of the Norfolk coast.

After a long day exploring your surroundings, follow the warmth of the crackling wood burner into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room, flooded with natural sunlight from the expanse of picture windows and boasting a muted neutral colour palette that perfectly blends into your natural surroundings. This endlessly social space invites you to enjoy the wonderful views whilst unwinding on the plush sofas, cooking up a storm with your delicious local produce and dining long into the evening seated around the rustic dining table. Enjoy even more glorious views from each of the four wonderfully presented en-suite bedrooms before retiring for a well-earned rest before tomorrow’s adventure. Dine alfresco on the patio listening to the trickling sounds of the water feature as children and four-legged friends let off some steam on the lawn.

Lying in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the surrounding Holkham Estate offers 25,000 acres of historic parkland and woodland to explore on foot, on two wheels (bike hire is available) or with four-legged friends, as well as the stunning Palladian country house of Holkham Hall 2 miles away at its centre. Enjoy a traditional bucket and spade adventure just over a mile away at the vibrant dune-backed, dog-friendly beach at Wells-next-the-Sea boasting colourful beach huts available to hire. Dive into the local history by weaving around the 18th-century buildings of Burnham Market (5 miles) to discover an array of independent shops, boutiques and award-winning restaurants serving the best local produce this area has to offer.

The View is the most perfect place for a family holiday. It is very well equipped but the best thing is the location. There is no need to go chasing around in the car because Holkham offers everything - miles of lovely walks, cycle routes, wildlife, birds (especially the geese) - a perfect place for a relaxed holiday.

3rd visit to this property. Great to have 4 large double bedrooms each with unsuited. It lives up to its name as the views are amazing as is the outside space. A great location so close to Wells and Holkham. The complimentary car parking at Wells Beach and Town car park is a big plus.

An amazing, very well equipped property. The views are fantastic. We were very lucky to see lots of kites and a hare and a pheasant that went by the window most evenings.

It was exactly as described and almost faultless. The only reason for a slight downgrade was that we were expected to do quite a lot on departure which as it wasn't a cheap rental we felt was asking a bit much.
