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, The Lookout 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

The lodge was perfect for us and beat the description on the web site and our expectations'. A lovely quiet spot, buried in the heart of the wood. We had the grounds , the house to explore, and the walled garden was beautiful, and huge! The staff are unfailingly warm, friendly and professional. We will be going back.

Mr S,

A lovely cosy lodge, very quirky and in a fabulous location particularly if you enjoy walking. All very comfortable and kitchen well equipped. Wi-Fi worked well. We didn’t use the log burner, however plenty of logs were supplied if we had wanted to. Goodies on arrival were very much appreciated. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to the next visit.

Ms H,

Palmers lodge is quirky and in a quiet area of the Holkham estate, although there’s no private garden our dog was ok off the lead outside the lodge by the table and benches. We spotted deers on a daily basis, just magical and so peaceful. Upstairs is lovely, we were even a bit gutted it was so hot as we didn’t get chance to use the log burner! Downstairs is super quirky but a little damp. Overall, we loved it and will definitely return to Holkham.

Ms S,

Beautiful property. My husband thought that the kitchen was short on equipment, but cooking is one of his hobbies so I think most nrmal people would have been happy. The lighting in the living room was a bit dim. Having an additional light in the kitchen area might help

Mrs H,

The perfect hideaway.

Mr M,

Beautiful location in another world, super comfortable bed, lovely drive through the deer park to find the property.

Mr B,

A comfortable, peaceful and secluded place to stay.

Mr L,

A lovely place to stay - having the bedroom in the basement did not worry at all, and we and the dogs had the freedom of the huge estate.

Mr L,

A great stay in a unique building set privately within wonderful parkland. A great experience.

Mr C,

We stayed in South Lodge East last year and had such a wonderful time that we couldn’t wait to come back. The estate is as amazing as we remembered but Palmers Lodge was a big disappointment. The downstairs of the property was cold and damp in spite of putting the heating on. The bathrooms were grubby and cold. There were spiders and bugs everywhere. Our clothing smelled of damp. We were basically very uncomfortable -even the bed seemed damp. The welcome pack would have been more useful if it included a small loaf of bread and a pint of milk. I expected much more comfort from this property and I do not think it is good value for money.
