Whisk your loved one away for a luxurious stay in a unique holiday home on the Holkham Estate in North Norfolk. This delightful retreat is set within one of the prestigious park’s gatehouses and offers sumptuous, one-bedroom accommodation for just two guests. Also happy to accommodate canine companions, the Grade II-listed hideaway has been exquisitely finished to provide characterful and stylish accommodation, with a wood burner for cosy winter evenings in and a glass atrium for star gazing on clear nights.
Let yourselves into this unusual cottage to discover an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a vaulted ceiling and exposed brickwork, at ground-floor level. Stoke up the wood burner, find a film on the Smart TV. Follow the stairs down into the building’s former vaults to find a gorgeous super-king-size bedroom, a snug, with TV, and a chic bathroom, plus a shower room. The atrium is also at this level. Sit outside in your lawned garden on fine days or take a long walk through the stately home’s scenic grounds to see if you can spot its herds of deer. There is parking for one car with this property.
Visit the hall, as well as the nature reserve, which is just over 2 miles from your base, during your stay. Holkham Beach, famous for appearing as a backdrop to scenes in many movies, is about 2.5 miles away. Venture 1.5 miles into Wells-next-the-Sea to go shopping, dine out and head down to its beach, which is a further 1 mile out of town. In Wells, you can also catch a train along the narrow-gauge, heritage railway to Little Walsingham, a popular place to visit for its abbey and shrine.
