Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Set at the entrance to a historic estate, this Georgian gatehouse offers a slower pace with 500 acres of parkland to explore. Lakes, secret gardens, and woodland walks stretch from the home, while the pub is less than five minutes away for an easy dinner. Inside, it leans into its heritage – open fires, wood panelling and a farmhouse kitchen sink. A private garden with a hot tub rounds out the space, giving families or small groups room to spread out. Calm and characterful, it’s a base within easy reach of Holt and the North Norfolk coast.

Home truths
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
There’s free parking for up to two cars on the driveway. Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
Due to the home's historic layout, some rooms have uneven floors and low doorways.
The single bedroom shares a Jack and Jill bathroom with one of the doubles, which may impact privacy for some guests.
There are open water features and unfenced areas within the estate grounds, so children should be supervised at all times.

About Norfolk
With a coastline defined as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Norfolk Broads boasting National Park status, there’s plenty to keep nature lovers occupied in Norfolk. Great Yarmouth enjoys the best of both worlds where a long beach provides days of paddling in the shallows and wandering the promenade, ice-cream in hand. It also acts as the jumping-off point for boat trips puttering into the wildlife-filled Broads. Further...

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed by a business on behalf of its owner. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay.
