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. 

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

Ideal location for a holiday in North Norfolk! Quirky but very comfortable cottage in a landmark on the Holkham Estate.

Dr J,

A really very impressive building to take in as to come up the drive. Set in beautiful parkland with a fantastic view down to a column and the sea beyond. But the properties main function was to be an entrance arch, so the accommodation was of secondary importance when it was first built. So some aspects are a compromise. Low door heights, very steep, very narrow 32 step, stone spiral stairs. If you have a dog you will probably need to carry them both up and down these steps. The drive through the Arch is a public road, so expect normal road traffic, cyclists and dog walkers to be coming through on a regular basis, which is a bit of a let down if you were expecting privacy. The staff when called upon were superb, special thanks to Gavin for sorting out an issue

Mrs H,

A wonderful property with lots of character, very private, rural and quiet but with good access to Holkham and Wells. Lovely walks around the estate, the beach and the towns/villages. Will definitely return. Other reviews mentioned an issue with flies but there were none in the property when we visited (mid June). Could have wished for a better weekend away, even the weather was generally in our favour.

Mr D,

We loved our stay even though the stairs were quite a challenge and we are pretty fit people in our 50’s. Will most likely be coming back as holkham hall and its grounds were simply stunning. P.s no signs of any ghosts.

Mr G,

We stayed at the Triumphal Arch many years ago, and we returned for a special anniversary. The property is unique, quirky, tranquil, romantic, and one of a kind. The location is fabulous with views across Holkham Estate to the sea in the distance and fantastic walks on your doorstep.

Mr W,

A very quirky place to stay. Lovely to wake up to the views from every direction. Lots of wildlife to see. Do not underestimate the steps though all 33 of them, will keep you fit!!! It’s in a nice spot close to places of interest.

Mrs T,

A stunning setting which feels really special. The spiral staircase is a significant climb up/down and so not for those with impaired mobility. The main room itself is very beautiful.

Mr F,

Significantly overpriced and rendered barely habitable by the biblical fly infestation which should not be understated. Even in December the property was constantly covered in dead flies on all surfaces even in the bath and shower, this was a major issue for us in an otherwise quirky place to stay. Park and locality beautiful for walks and cycle rides and Hall staff very friendly and helpful

Mr H,

This is such a lovely peaceful place to relax in.

Mrs K,

This is a very interesting and surprisingly spacious property ideal for a quirky getaway on the beautiful Holkham Estate. It’s a stunning location if you want to walk and explore the surrounding coast and countryside, It’s worth taking note regarding the spiral stone staircase which is steep and wouldn’t be ideal if you’re less mobile, (or if you’re dog isn’t agile) also we did experience the cluster fly issue which wasn’t pleasant but was addressed by Norfolk Cottages for us satisfactory

Mr M,

Thoroughly beautiful place, stairs unusual but taken with care

Mrs Helen C,

Everything was great. Lovely property in a lovely convenient location.

Mr Christopher O,
