What our customers say about their holidays

• Mr Hartley - Verified booking

  A fantastic location if you like solitude, set well into the estate among woodland with wildlife in abundance including roe deer, owls, foxes etc. The mile long route in from the gates is through open pasture with herds of fallow deer and flocks of sheep, hares, and in the evening lots of rabbits. Holkham is a wonderful place to stay particularly if you are into wildlife, especially birding. The wildlife conservation area is close by as is the beach. The Victoria restaurant is easy to get to without coming off the estate where the food is very good. The lodge itself is very cosy and warm once the log burner is lit. (There are two radiators but not quite adequate on there own for us as at the time, february, as the outside temperature was close to freezing) It consists of one very large, comfortable bed sitting room with separate loo and shower room. Plenty of things like tea, coffee, sugar etc plus some very nice Holkham biscuits, both savoury and shortbread. There are dog bowls provided along with some treats in a tin.

  This is a lovely "studio" barn conversion.

  Equipped with everything you need, unless you plan to do gourmet cooking. The WiFi works, not always the case when out in the countryside, the bed is comfy (again not always so) and the small patio area ideal for breakfast or afternoon tea. Downsides, none of which are serious, but just so you know. The lane leading to the farm is narrow and twisty and one of the locals seem to be training for a rallying event. We met him once and afterwards Max (the owner) gave us advice on an alternative route out to the main road. The shower is not the best, but does the job, as it's an "instant heat" model not a mains power shower, but the cubicle is large and not one where you keep bashing your elbows. The lighting in the kitchen area is "subdued" and could do with at least one bright light. Max is a character, helpful and always on hand with friendly advice.

  First the owner was very nosey.

  the cooking facilities were very old and the oven did not heat up properly, he didn't want the dog to be in the garden when he had the horses out , once a week they have a clay pidgeon shooting from 6.30pm so says we should go to the pup for a few hours lucky for us it finished the week before but next door said when they went before they were not warned and it was terrible, one day when my husband went out and I was in with the dog he came knocking very hard on the door because he thought we had left the dog in on its own, he stated more than once to make sure we left it clean and tidy which I always do,does he want it spring cleaned for him when we arrived he made sure we read a list of rules not very welcoming. WOULD NOT GO AGAIN

  Nice location.

  As soon as we arrived the owner came into the cottage with the a list of rules.He could have left them with us to read in our own time,but decided to go through each rule while standing there,emphasising as if we were children,he also said if we break the rules we will be sent packing !!.Good way to start your holiday !.Also said the gate will be locked at 10pm,so here's the code to open/close the gate.Also told strick rules in making sure all our rubbish,was to be separated.We are on holiday !.Disappointed only 1 3 drawer unit,no wardrobe,all clothes had to be left in suitcases.He also had the habit of just walking into the cottage without asking,we found this very intrusive.Would not return to this property.

  The cottage was very well appointed and the description of the facilities (including the lack of sink) was accurate. Actually, the description undersold it slightly, as it didn't make clear that the cottage has wifi. The standard of furnishings was excellent and the property manager was very helpful. The welcome hamper, with its range of local products, was a lovely touch. It's a beautiful location, in a remote corner of the Holkham site. It actually felt like a luxury hotel room, transplanted into a woodland setting. We will definitely return to try another of the properties at Holkham.
