Notes: This is a non-smoking property. Mobile reception – poor. Due to the age and character of the building, please be aware the property has limited space, low ceilings and doorways throughout. Whilst we do our very best to deter and remove them before your stay, the Triumphal Arch, like many old properties, occasionally has an issue with cluster flies. There are estate vehicles & bikes that do use the archway for access to areas of the Estate. Please see upcoming Estate Events here. 

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 shellfish 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

This is a TINY accommodation. Not enough room to eat or prepare meals. Minimal cooking equipment Not really on the Holkham estate, quite a walk to get to the house. However clean and quick response to request for more supplies. OK for 1 night only

Mrs S,

We knew it was small but we weren’t prepared for just how tiny the accommodation was. Very cosy indeed only suitable for a short break

Mr P,

Very warm on a cold wet visit but like others disappointed to find the log burner and logs did not exist. Would like to have known "bathroom" on the top floor did not include a WC though it was not a big issue but i do find the images on the website key when booking and reviewing where to go and we were disappointed that these portray spacious or shall we say reasonable accommodation that in fact is very confined. The sofa is a the best example of this where it is a squeeze for 2 where the photo makes it look wide enough for 4. I guess ideal for 1 maybe 2 nights but we cut our 3 nights short and left a day early due to the cramped living space.

Mr M,

Magical stay in a beautiful location, the lodge was perfect for our mini break.

Mr S,

2nd weekend away on the Holkham Estate. Beautiful place for a weekend away. Accommodation ideal for 2 and a dog. Really cosy. Thoroughly recommend.

Mrs D,

An ideal property for a short stay. Wonderful location for walking and exploring the Holkham Estate as well as wider afield.

Mrs N,

Had a great stay, quirky property with quality touches. Parking permit was really handy, great area with plenty to do.

Ms C,

Very comfortable , lovely setting, and appreciated the parking and discount voucher. Holkham Hall is truly amazing, worth a visit.

Mr A,

The property was very cosy/comfortable, but it was rather small. The welcome pack was much appreciated. That said it was ideally located and we were able to have our dog there. A light over the stairs would be useful at night, as the toilet is downstairs and some form of waterproof covering under the bath is needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Mr Mark T,

Very quirky location. It was a surprise long weekend away for my wife and the fun was her reaction to arrival at the Triumphal Arch.

Mr Robert H,

The cottage was smaller than expected for the money. Some of the interior windows and the mirror above the bath had not been cleaned. The ice box in the fridge needed defrosting as the door would not shut properly. The hamper was lovely and the location was ideal.

Mrs Sharon W,
