Description

Stay a while in the grounds of the Holkham Estate. Indulge in your unique access to the parkland. Savour the sumptuous yet simple delights of South Lodge West. Its location, inherent comfort. You’ll never want to leave.

Glorious gatehouse

South Lodge West enjoys a more than ample perch on the southern boundary of the Holkham Estate. The little-used back road next to which it resides leads inwards to the Estate’s magnificent obelisk. And outwards to glorious North Norfolk villages and the seaside haven of Wells-next-the-Sea. In other words, you’re perfectly positioned to discover this glorious corner of eastern England - on foot or two wheels, as you choose.

You’ll fall in love with the parkland that you’re invited to explore during your stay. While the gatehouse is dog friendly and you can enjoy a lovely private garden, it's requested that dogs are kept on leads in the grounds. Wander one way to Holkham Bay via the beach and another through woodland and you’ll only be left wanting more Norfolk air.

Although not the original South Lodge, this mid 1800s replacement has been superbly restored to provide a glorious base for Norfolk mini breaks. Respectful of Teulon’s architecture in every nook, the furnishings continue to complement the age and design of the building, and present a heavenly escape just for you two. Delightfully tasteful yet exquisitely simple, providing everything you need beautifully without clutter or fluff.

Over the threshold and in you come to a calm and cosy sitting room. How quickly will you crank up the wood burning stove? How long will you linger near to it, in the sofa designed just for two, soaking up your surroundings and the indulgence of your day? There’s a petite kitchen area with microwave, kettle and toaster otherwise encouraging you to enjoy the delicious and plentiful eateries of The Burnhams, Wells and beyond.

Wander on, all on one level, to your bedroom and bathroom. It’ll be tough to get up in the morning, we know, but the call of fresh air and exploration will work on you quicker than you might think.

Bedroom and bathroom

One bedroom with king size bed and separate shower room. White linen and plump white towels are provided.

Reviews

Great little cottage very suitable for 2 people. Beautifully furnished. Lots of local restaurants locally and terrific Holkam Hall and walled garden is a "must" visit.

Mrs H,

Will go again very pet friendly and beautifully peaceful

Mrs S,

Lovely, peaceful location. Accommodation clean and comfortable, especially the bed. Perfect spot for a long weekend (limited cooking facilities not ideal for a longer stay). Secure garden perfect for visitors with dogs.

Miss S,

Clean and comfortable, excellent location but NO OVEN OR HOB.

Mrs H,

A lovely property in a beautiful location surrounded by fantastic wildlife. Very clean and comfortable. The welcome bag and dog treats were much appreciated! Great walks throughout the park and to the idyllic Holkham beach. Look forward to returning.

Mrs P,

Very clean, lovely and warm accommodation. The bed was very comfy. Loved the ornate windows, and the historic element of the Gatehouse. The wildlife was amazing; deer, hare, bats, toads, Red Kites and birds of prey.

Mrs W,

Excellent bed, very good heating, really appreciated it as very cold during our stay.

Mrs K,

Comfortable and bijou, with everything you need for a long weekend. Fantastic access to all the facilities and grounds of the Estate. Beautifully quiet and dark at night, we’ll definitely book again.

Mr P,

The cottage was just as described and in a wonderful setting.

Mr T,

An ideal base for exploring Holkham and the surrounding area

Mr S,

Lovely, cosy lodge, well equipped. Really comfortable bed. We had a great 3 night stay.

Mr G,

Booked for our son's wedding at the Marble hall at Holkham which was fantastic. We loved being on the estate in our own cosy lodge. The cottage was very clean and well equipped and a lovely touch with the welcome pack, beds were super comfortable too. The cottage was much bigger than we expected , nice to have a the water softener too. Location - just spoilt for choice, hired E-bikes for most of our stay and cycled to Wells next the Sea. Wood burner was great, felt like a real home from home. Estate staff were super friendly and helpful, a hidden gem! We will be back!

Past Customer,

This is a lovely property, just the right size for 2 (and a dog). It was nice and clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The location is great - good places on the doorstep for walking the dog and an enclosed garden (although not accessible directly from the property). Lots of dog friendly eateries nearby. The Victoria was lovely with great food and friendly staff. The Golden Fleece in Wells also served great food and staff were really nice. Lots to do in the surrounding area and lots to see in Holkham itself too.

Mrs S,

Loved the cottage in a beautiful location. It was lovely, clean and comfortable and the food gifts were appreciated. It was a pleasure to stay in such an historical setting and we will hopefully return. Thank you.

Mrs Jacqueline S,

Very impressed with the communication and clear instructions from this company

Mrs Joanne H,

WiFi connection very unreliable. My husband connected to South Lodge East; I had no connection..one night no tv connection. Coffee table in sitting area past sell by date. Would have been nice to have cooker hob and larger freezer space. (Corner where fridge is could house small fridge freezer if the small bit of work top removed. Overall very pleased, thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.
