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 (booking essential), whilst lunch can also be enjoyed at the Hall’s Courtyard Cafe or the charming Beach cafe further afield in Wells-next-the-Sea. Wells-next-the-Sea is a lively 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 View is the most perfect place for a family holiday. It is very well equipped but the best thing is the location. There is no need to go chasing around in the car because Holkham offers everything - miles of lovely walks, cycle routes, wildlife, birds (especially the geese) - a perfect place for a relaxed holiday.

Mrs P,

A lovely holiday home. Perfect for our group of 4 couples. Plenty of communal space and very well equipped kitchen. An excellent location with great views over the countryside.

Mrs C,

Well equipped and modern property. The View is in beautiful location, close to Wells for restaurants and Holkham Beach for outstanding sands and walks in the woods.

Mrs M,

This is a beautiful house and wonderful location. It is extremely comfortable and all your needs have been considered - it's a pleasure to be on the edge of the Holkham Estate and get all the perks (like discounts and free parking) that come with staying in a Holkham Estate property. It's the best place we've stayed in Norfolk, and we've already booked to come back next year!

Ms M,

3rd visit to this property. Great to have 4 large double bedrooms each with unsuited. It lives up to its name as the views are amazing as is the outside space. A great location so close to Wells and Holkham. The complimentary car parking at Wells Beach and Town car park is a big plus.

Mrs S,

An amazing, very well equipped property. The views are fantastic. We were very lucky to see lots of kites and a hare and a pheasant that went by the window most evenings. The highlight for us though was the owl that visited one evening during dusk and hovered very close to the window before swooping down for its prey. The outside space is great and the large, enclosed grassed area great for the kids to play on.

Mrs S,

Excellent Barn in great location with fantastic views.

Mr P,

Fantastic stay! Beautiful cottage. Stunning location! They thought of it all! Would 1000% recommend! Will be returning in the summer for long evenings on the patio! Thank you!

Mrs D,

The property is amazing! For the dynamics of our family six adults and two grandchildren it ticked all the boxes. Family of four in one side and is grandparents and my second adult daughter the other. The children lived seeing all the wildlife and we enjoyed walking to wells and holkham from the property. We spent coffee time on the patio and the children enjoyed ball in the garden. Plenty of room in seclusion but at the same time close to everything we needed.

Mrs P,

What a perfect location and stunning property. It really met all of our needs, including a baby and 2 dogs. The outside space is beautiful and great for outside eating. Couldn't be in a more perfect location - hope to return very soon!

Mrs T,

A very comfortable and well equipped property in an excellent location. Close enough to Wells to walk to restaurants and pubs and a short drive from Holkham Beach.

Mr H,

We loved the property, spacious, lovely garden, superb location, great views, plenty of walks close by. Can highly recommend.

Miss M,

There were 8 of us and we had a fantastic time at the cottage thankyou very much

Ms G,

The location of this property was excellent for a winter break. The design and level of equipment ensured a wonderfully relaxed and comfortable stay for 4 mature couples who would love to repeat the experience.

Mrs A,

The View is even better than it looks in the photos. Having 4 large double bedrooms all with en-suites makes it perfect for multi generational get togethers. Kitchen well equipped for large group cooking and very dog friendly with the large enclosed garden. Perfect setting just a few minutes walk and you’re in the grounds of the beautiful Holkham Estate . Holkham Hall Park run a short walk from the door. Would love to return one day as definitely one of the best holiday homes we have ever stayed in.

Mrs W,

Fantastic house and great location felt away from it all, yet only a short distance from the town. Great for celebrating as we were, with a wonderful open plan living space. Fabulous to sit and watch the wildlife.

Mrs P,

We loved The View with it’s peaceful setting and spacious living area. The outdoor area with the fountain and views of hares and geese was also much enjoyed.

Mrs N,

We enjoyed the fabulous views, our terrier enjoyed the hares at dusk, we enjoyed the garden, the sunsets and the ease of access. Facilities were great.

Ms M,

Had some issues at the property, none resolved whilst there, lied to or not given correct information when Norfolk cottages fully aware before we arrived and poor communication back to me , well non existent apart from texts i could not reply to. 4 phone calls made and told me to complain after my 2500.00 holiday. Not good enough.

Mrs Jane F,
