South Lodge West is highly praised for its beautiful location within the Holkham Estate, offering tranquility and proximity to nature and beaches. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, comfort, and historic charm of the lodge, as well as the thoughtful welcome packs. While some mention limited cooking facilities and Wi-Fi issues, the overall experience is one of relaxation and enjoyment, with many looking forward to returning.
The lodge consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with numerous guests noting it as clean and well-maintained. This suggests a high standard of hygiene and attention to detail in its upkeep.
The location is frequently highlighted as a standout feature, with guests loving the proximity to Holkham Estate, beaches, and wildlife. The peaceful and beautiful setting is a significant draw for visitors.
Comfort is well-regarded, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the lodge cosy, especially with the wood burner. However, some guests noted the settee as uncomfortable and the bed size as inadequate for larger guests, slightly affecting the score.
Facilities receive mixed reviews. Guests are pleased with the essentials provided but some express a desire for better cooking amenities, such as an oven or hob, and improved Wi-Fi. The lack of direct garden access and limited cooking facilities are noted drawbacks.
The welcome packs are frequently mentioned and appreciated, indicating thoughtfulness. However, it is noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed. Some guests suggested that including essentials like milk would enhance the thoughtfulness of the welcome.
The perfect retreat for a wander down to Holkham beach during the Summer months or to cosy up inside by the wood burner during the cooler climes.
South Lodge dates back to 1847 and was designed by well-known architect, S. S. Teulon. After some years of disrepair, the lodge has been restored and once again stands as sentinel to Holkham Hall and The Triumphal Arch on the Holkham Estate.
