The location receives high praise for its peacefulness, access to wildlife, and proximity to local attractions, indicating an exceptional rating.
Comfort is well-regarded, with positive remarks on the bed and bath, though the mention of the challenging staircase suggests a slight deduction from a perfect score.

Mrs Hollingsworth
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

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.

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.
