The Holkham Estate is in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and home to Holkham Hall, which sits proudly at the centre of the Estate with far-reaching views over the 25,000-acres of historic parkland and woodland. One of the region’s finest and most recognisable Palladian country houses and the ancestral home of the Coke family for more than 400 years. The grounds are ideal for cycling and feature many themed walks and trails, with bike hire available close to the courtyard, restaurant and gift shop. You can even take to the water on the lake during the warmer months of the year. Just outside the walls of Holkham Park is Lady Anne’s Drive which leads down to the wide-sweeping sands and big skies of the dog friendly beach, bordered by pine woods. You will also find yourself spoilt for choice when looking to eat out. The Victoria Inn in the Holkham village serves fantastic local, seasonal cuisine from dawn to dusk, whilst lunch can also be enjoyed at the Hall’s Courtyard Cafe or the Beach Cafe slightly further afield in Wells-next-the-Sea. Wells-next-the-Sea is a charming coastal town with its iconic beach huts and picturesque harbour where you can enjoy fresh shell fish or the catch of the day. Other delights nearby are Burnham Market and its sister villages, Brancaster, Cley-next-the-Sea and the town of Holt to name just a few.

Reviews

Outstanding location that is ideal for a short break. A good base for exploring the estate and local area.

Mr L,

We loved our holiday so much. Best location away from everything Just beautiful. Thank you

Mrs A,

A delightful 'bijou residence' set in a very wonderful location.

Mrs C,

Ditto.

Mrs G,

We, as before, thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing time at Palmers Folly, plenty of walking, enjoyed the peaceful environment. Will definitely be back.

Mr B,

Amazingly quiet and tranquil setting - great retreat for peace and serenity.

Dr J,

Seclusion and comfort, beautiful location.

Mr B,

What a lovely stay! There is something quite magical about staying on the Holkham Estate. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves the North Norfolk Coast and the estate itself.

Mrs P,

Wonderful location for a nature filled holiday.

Ms G,

If you're looking for a peaceful break in a beautiful setting you won't be disappointed. Holkham Hall itself is a bonus as is the nearby beach and Wells Town.

Mr G,

Palmers Folly located on the Holkham estate was a perfect setting for a very quiet break surrounded by woods, parklands and wildlife. Also very close to the stunning North Norfolk coast and numerous country parks - perfect for a quiet reflective break,

Mr T,

Very clean and cosy property. Wonderful quiet location.

Prof S,

Wonderful location extremely peaceful.

Mrs B,

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 outside 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.

Mrs Sue G,
