  A fantastic location if you like solitude, set well into the estate among woodland with wildlife in abundance including roe deer, owls, foxes etc. The mile long route in from the gates is through open pasture with herds of fallow deer and flocks of sheep, hares, and in the evening lots of rabbits. Holkham is a wonderful place to stay particularly if you are into wildlife, especially birding. The wildlife conservation area is close by as is the beach. The Victoria restaurant is easy to get to without coming off the estate where the food is very good. The lodge itself is very cosy and warm once the log burner is lit. (There are two radiators but not quite adequate on there own for us as at the time, february, as the outside temperature was close to freezing) It consists of one very large, comfortable bed sitting room with separate loo and shower room. Plenty of things like tea, coffee, sugar etc plus some very nice Holkham biscuits, both savoury and shortbread. There are dog bowls provided along with some treats in a tin.

  Very warm on a cold wet visit but like others disappointed to find the log burner and logs did not exist. Would like to have known "bathroom" on the top floor did not include a WC though it was not a big issue but i do find the images on the website key when booking and reviewing where to go and we were disappointed that these portray spacious or shall we say reasonable accommodation that in fact is very confined. The sofa is a the best example of this where it is a squeeze for 2 where the photo makes it look wide enough for 4. I guess ideal for 1 maybe 2 nights but we cut our 3 nights short and left a day early due to the cramped living space.

  We stayed in South Lodge East last year and had such a wonderful time that we couldn’t wait to come back. The estate is as amazing as we remembered but Palmers Lodge was a big disappointment. The downstairs of the property was cold and damp in spite of putting the heating on. The bathrooms were grubby and cold. There were spiders and bugs everywhere. Our clothing smelled of damp. We were basically very uncomfortable -even the bed seemed damp. The welcome pack would have been more useful if it included a small loaf of bread and a pint of milk. I expected much more comfort from this property and I do not think it is good value for money.

  The information about the layout & numbers of toilets was not clear. Would have like to have known just one WC downstairs- website indicated two WCs. Availability of EV was key reason for selecting property, parking ‘voucher’ and 10% discount at Holkham properties also a good bonus. Welcome pack was lovely & we would suggest adding Holkham dog treats to encourage purchases. Butter/margarine would be helpful addition as well as info as to what pack contains, so know what do/don’t need to bring. While lovely accommodation would feel cramped if weather wet/cold. Overall, we would consider a return visit.

  If you need peace and quiet Palmers Lodge is perfect, just deer, pheasants and rabbits for company. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay with great walks along the beach from Wells to Holkam. Our stay was in early March so still a nip in the air but on returning to the Lodge and the wood burner roaring away you couldn't ask for more. Lovely welcoming bag with lots of local produce and a bottle of Prosecco and two glasses waiting on the coffee table. Downstairs is an unusual subterranean set up but it works well and there is plenty of natural light via the glass roof above the hall section.
