Steeped in history, Holkham Hall on the North Norfolk coast has the perfect setting; surrounded by rolling parkland, rich in wildlife. This magnificent 18th century Palladian hall is home to the Earls of Leicester and the family takes great pride in sharing the house and its treasures with visitors. The state rooms offer superb collections of ancient statuary, original furniture, tapestries and paintings by Rubens, Van Dyck, Gaspar Poussin and Gainsborough.
Standing at the gateway to both Holkham Hall and the Holkham National Nature Reserve is The Victoria, affectionately known as ‘The Vic’. There are ten elegant, individually designed bedrooms, with an additional ten across the road in one of the oldest buildings on the Estate: Ancient House. For guests with disabilities, there is a ground floor double room with full access and a wet room. Dogs are welcome to stay in the rooms at The Victoria and are also allowed throughout the ground floor of the inn. The bar and dining rooms offer a relaxed blend of style and comfort, as well as incredible views over the nature reserve. The Victoria serves delicious locally sourced food, much of it grown and raised on the Holkham Estate with a bold emphasis on freshness, simplicity, and value.
Visit the Holkham Stories Experience and find out all about the estate’s 400-year past, living present and innovative future. Aimed at both adults and children alike, there’s plenty to keep you occupied. Dress up in a Holkham tweed jacket and bowler hat, let our ‘talking tools’ tell you what they were used for, sit back, relax and enjoy our ‘Holkham Year’ film. Learn how the very bricks used to build Holkham Hall were made here on the estate. Enjoy our interactive tabletop game as you learn all about how your food gets from the field to your fork!
Children will enjoy our Woodland Adventure Play Area, with its tree house, high level walkways, rope ladders and zip wire, plus a special area just for toddlers. On high days and holidays explore further with cycle hire or discover Holkham’s watery world with our choice of rowing boats, canoes and kayaks. Take to the trees with our high ropes course and see Holkham like never before!
Finish off your visit by treating yourself in our Courtyard Café, where we serve only the best, locally-sourced food and our gift shop, showcasing the work of local artisan suppliers.
