Treat your partner or spouse to an enchanting stay within the grounds of a grand, Palladian, Norfolk mansion house. This exquisite retreat nestles within a folly on the celebrated Holkham Estate. Offering one-bedroom, studio-style accommodation, the single-storey abode welcomes two guests plus their four-legged friends. With a wood burner to warm yourselves beside after autumn and winter walks and a lawned garden for summer relaxation, it makes a perfect bolthole for anyone seeking, serenity, seclusion and somewhere truly unique to stay.
Tear yourselves away from your picturesque, verdant surroundings and enter to discover airy, elegant accommodation. The main room is a lounge/kitchen/diner/bedroom, where you can light the wood burner, whip up tasty snacks and light meals and sit down to eat together. Go for an evening walk then return to snuggle up in front of your favourite TV programme together before laying your heads on your pillows for a sumptuous night’s sleep in your king-size bed. There is an en-suite shower room next to the bedroom area. Take your morning coffee out into the sunshine of the lawned garden and relax out here too on balmy Norfolk evenings. There is parking for one car at this cottage.
