Well equipped and modern property. The View is in beautiful location, close to Wells for restaurants and Holkham Beach for outstanding sands and walks in the woods.

This is a beautiful house and wonderful location. It is extremely comfortable and all your needs have been considered - it's a pleasure to be on the edge of the Holkham Estate and get all the perks (like discounts and free parking) that come with staying in a Holkham Estate property. It's the best place we've stayed in Norfolk, and we've already booked to come back next year!
