Mr Batey
South Lodge East is a characterful property pleasantly decorated with a well equipped kitchen (although no freezer box in fridge.) Bedroom is a good size with a comfy bed and compact en suite (lovely shower!). The lodge has lovely rural views and we spotted lots of birds of Prey. Perhaps should be noted that it is a fair distance from the Hall and other attractions if walking.

The shower was good, and the bed clean and comfortable. The location of the cottage on the Holkham estate was wonderful. Deer were a constant visitor. Excellent little side garden for the dog. We really enjoyed our stay.
