Mrs Sinagola
This cottage is first rate. In a completely peaceful spot in a wood on Holkham land near Wells next the Sea. Extremely well equipped, very clean and decorated with great taste. Superb bed. Small welcome offering appreciated, particularly milk until our own arrived. The parking voucher and discount card were used extensively and represent a real saving if, as we did, you stay in the Holkham area a lot.

Lovely cottage and great location for walks into Wells or Wighton (pub). Will be booking again next year. Holkham beach is stunning and the walk from Lady Anne’s Drive to The Hero pun at Burnham Overy Staithe is well worth it.
