A gem of a property nestled within the grounds of a distinguished Holkham Estate, you and your party of eight will soon be swapping the stresses of modern life for walking boots and hearty pub lunches. Escaping to the Norfolk coastline should always involve stunning views, tempting eateries and plenty of choices when it comes to countryside adventures, and this charming lodge promises all three in abundance. Boasting over 25,000 acres of historic parkland and woodland, the surrounding Holkham Estate is the location of a majestic Palladian country house and a beautiful windswept beach, which eagle-eyed visitors may recognise as the filming location for The Eagle Has Landed (1976). Criss-crossed with pathways and trails, it is perfect for meandering along on foot, by bike or even on four paws as the beach welcomes dogs all year round. You’ll even have a thoughtful welcome pack to kick start your stay, plus a discount for a hand-picked selection of the on-site attractions and experiences. Wells-next-the-Sea is 2.5 miles away for a traditional take on a trip to the seaside, featuring a cheerful promenade lined with beach huts, a quay that’s an iconic crabbing spot, and the glimmering sandy beach.

Stylish and spacious with elegant decor throughout, the accommodation is nothing short of a masterpiece thanks to the sleek socialising areas and excellently equipped kitchen. Whip up hearty meals using the double ovens and induction hob alongside all the other useful appliances, plus you’ll have a handy Quettle tap for dispensing boiling or chilled water. For coffee lovers, the coffee machine guarantees a delightful treat in the morning. There is a dining room with a large table fit for a feast, which also doubles as a cosy place to play board games with all the family. Weary from your day, slip through to the lounge to watch films on the TV, warmed to the toes by the crackling wood burner. At bedtime, all four bedrooms have crisply dressed beds ready for slumber, all with the added bonus of an en-suite each. The two king-size bedrooms have lavish en-suite bathrooms, whilst the two twin rooms have excellent shower rooms, and beds that can convert into 6’ super-king beds on request.

Leading to the property is a paved courtyard with a water feature to set the scene, and you’ll also find comfortable garden furniture for those al fresco dinners you have been looking forward to. For the children and family canines, there’s also a further garden with ample grass place to play. Explore the grounds at leisure then make good use of your discount to visit the grand Holkham Hall itself, browse the shop and admire the walled garden.
