A beautiful walk through the Estate will bring you to the majestic Holkham Hall, whilst pet friendly woodland trails lead you into the charming Holkham village, The Burnhams and onto Wells-next-the-Sea.
The Holkham Estate is vast, offering 25000 acres of parkland and private gardens. Rich in history, architecture and wildlife, the charms of Holkham Hall are hard to resist! The seat of the Earl of Leicester, this elegant 18th century mansion is still a much loved, lived-in family home which visitors can also enjoy. There are 6 acres of walled garden, originally laid out by Samuel Wyatt in the late 1700’s. Visitors are welcome to enjoy the walking and cycling paths, the lakes, watching the deer, the tree top high ropes course with its swings, bridges and ziplines, rowing boats, canoes and kayaks on the lake and the woodland play area. It is an outstanding family excursion.
Of course, North Norfolk is renowned for its beautiful beaches and the beach at Holkham does not disappoint. It is one of the most unspoilt and beautiful stretches of sand in the country. With a glorious semi-circle basin filling to form a spectacular shallow lagoon at high tides, this beach is famous for the closing scene in Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘Shakespeare in Love’ and is also very popular with birdwatchers, so pack your binoculars if you would like to find some!
For an afternoon of pottering around the shops, Burnham Market and Holt are perfect. Overflowing with unique independent shops, welcoming gastropubs such as the Hoste, cute delis, cafes, and galleries, all around a delightful village green, Burnham Market is incredibly popular. Look out for the August arts and crafts fair with puppet shows and alfresco dining! Holt is another Norfolk gem, again with wonderful art galleries, eateries, and charm.

Large armchairs face the fireplace, perfect for curling up with a book and loosing track of the hours as you embrace these tranquil holiday moments.
There are some small catering facilities including a toaster, kettle, and fridge, however we would highly recommend taking a break from all the food preparation and visiting the nearby Victoria Inn or Wells Beach Café for a meal, as well as trying out the incredible North Norfolk foodie scene that stretches up the coast!
The king-size bed is opulent in style, with luxurious linens and soft pillows that you sink into, relishing a good night’s sleep with no alarms needed in the morning. There is an en-suite shower room for you to enjoy as well.
Stepping outside, it is a beautiful fifteen-minute walk through the Estate to reach the majestic Holkham Hall, and a further fifteen-minutes beyond that will bring you to Holkham village and the beach beyond.

Our family have owned Humperdink, our cottage, since 1964. It is a few miles from the village of St Osyth adjacent to the nature reserve of Lee Over Sands, with a mainly shingle and sand beach, depending on the tide, river and marshes.
We brought our cottage into the 21st century in 2015, retaining its charm and character while adding some new creature comforts and mod cons, including gas central heating with radiators and running hot water (which is a first for us, never having this luxury at our cottage before when we were children or with our children!) to make any stay a memorable and pleasurable whatever the weather, or time of year.
We have no hidden extras with our home, bed linen, towels, and tea towel are all included in the price. All pillows and mattresses have protector covers and are non allergic.
Check in is 4 pm and check out is 11 am.
The surrounding area is fields, however the river, sea and beach are just over the sea wall, where you can walk with, or without your dog, and enjoy the views, swim in the summer or you can just stay at our cottage, sit in the front garden watching the sheep in the field opposite or sit on the patio on the comfy rattan chairs at the back of the property and listen to the wildlife right on your doorstep, away from the hustle and bustle of reality. Deer have been seen near our cottage as well as hares, foxes as well lots of owls and multiple birds.
Your dog is very welcome, please just notify us about this when you book. We only allow 2 dogs per booking and there is a charge of £20 per dog per stay. We ask that you clean up after your dog and also that you don’t allow your dog to sleep on the beds please. Please also be aware the garden is not fenced in.
The cottage has two bedrooms upstairs, the front bedroom that has views to the sea and has a wooden Shaker Kingsize bed and a second bedroom at the back with a wooden double bed, as well as a single pine bed, so this room can actually sleep three.

As a guest you are allowed access to the beaches and wildlife reserve, which could be described a very exclusive experience as only members and residents are usually are able to go on this reserve.
Over the sea wall is the river which is obviously tidal and the sea which lend themselves to some kayaking or paddle boarding which is a lot of fun when going with the tide.

The sea air will also help you to have a really good night's sleep and should you be lucky you will see the most beautiful sunset.

Cartshed Lodge, a luxurious couple's hideaway, has a full size hot tub and is located in lovely open farmland with stunning field views and sunsets. Within easy walking distance of the bustling Broads villages of Hoveton and Wroxham, this gorgeous retreat ticks all the boxes.
Cartshed Lodge has first floor, one level, open-plan loft living, with a spacious outdoor area; you can enjoy a dip in the hot tub any time, while away a tranquil afternoon on a sun lounger on the decked area, fire up the barbecue for some al fresco dining and access the enclosed garden area with fruit trees. Set privately within the grounds of the owner's house, the kitchen/dining area has a microwave combination oven, hob, slimline dishwasher, fridge, dining table and chairs and the sitting room area has a Smart television with a linked Bluetooth/airplay enabled high quality sound system. The bedroom has a super-king size bed and another Smart television, and the shower room has a large, walk-in shower. There is a separate unit behind the property with a freezer and washing machine. There is also secure bicycle storage available and a large gravelled parking bay by the property entrance.
Cartshed Lodge is in the heartland of the Norfolk Broads; Wroxham, a well-known gateway, offering boat hire and other water-based activities, and has numerous independent restaurants and takeaways, as well as Roys of Wroxham supermarket, department store and garden centre! A day spent onboard a Broads Cruiser, stopping off at the riverside pubs for refreshment as you weave your way around the beautiful waterways, then returning to Cartshed Lodge to catch the last of the sun in the garden with a dip in the hot tub will be very hard to beat.
