South Lodge East Reviews

Claire
A simply magical property on the most beautiful estate. I walked the estate daily and falling to sleep accompanied by a lullaby of owls was unforgettable. The welcome hamper and little touches of tea, coffee and sugar were very thoughtful and the logs and fire lighters made the cottage feel so cosy in the evenings. On a personal note I am already looking to rebook next year. Thank you for a wonderful week away.
Katy
Beautiful with comfortable bed and small but great shower room. Compact kitchen but very well set out. Nice that dogs allowed.
Tim
A pokey lodge with a busy adjacent main access gate to the Southern part of the Holkham estate. Sitting room had no openable windows and the bedroom window was constantly covered in condensation and mildew. Table seating tatty and main door curtain needed attention. Kitchen had ancient belling hob and very little equipment. No dishwasher and no freezer compartment in an old fridge. Very poor value for money . Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We can confirm that we will discuss this with the owner.
Jane
Lovely place, however NOT dog friendly. Description should advise that garden is separate from cottage. Every time our dog needed to go out we had to put her on the lead. This was very disappointing to us.
Lisa
We had a fabulous week staying at South Lodge East. Although small it had all we needed including a small dining table which I couldnâ??t see in the photos. We had some wonderful walks across the Estate to the hall. It was so peaceful even though we were there at the time of the Gone Wild festival.
Catherine
Lovely cottage but needed refurbishment to justify rental cost. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We can confirm that we will discuss this with the owner.
Linda
The cottage is in the most beautiful location. Itâ??s tastefully furnished and had all the equipment youâ??d expect. The bed, pillows and bedding were of excellent quality to aid a restful nights sleep.
Leanne
Beautiful, comfortable lodge. Great location too. We would love to return.
Edmund
The cottage is clean and tidy and the lounge and bedroom are both comfortable but the kitchen is lacking. I know space is at a premium but at this price point, a cottage should have a dishwasher and washing machine also. Double glazing would help with the noise issue. The park itself, is lovely but one has to get in the car and drive around to the main entrance as the booking information stated that there is no access along the avenue.
John
This place is an absolute gem: the park is lovely with deer, pheasants and geese, and lots of vistas opening up. The Hall itself is also well worth visiting. The cottage itself is lovely - bed is comfortable, beautifully furnished. Also, the space outside is lovely to sit in the morning sun.
Victor
A wonderful setting for total peace and tranquility. A perfect base to explore the estate. A stunning setting however the outdoor cleanliness was poor and the outside doormat was filthy. The overflow in the bathroom sink was showing mould. So overall the cleanliness was below expectations.
Beverley
Always love it at Holkham. Lodge well equipped and cosy. Clean and well maintained. All you need for a short stay. Amazing location on the estate and close to wonderful beaches. A walk to The Victoria is a must.
Stephen
We had a fantastic relaxing long weekend with our faithful labs, the lodge is beautiful and in perfect surroundings. Well equipped for a few days from home, not far from Wells Next the Sea for any shopping. Spent a lunchtime at The Victoria Hotel and had a glorious meal, the walk then down Lady Annâ??s drive to the beach was perfect. After a long walk, back to the lodge to light the log burner was amazing .. although the heating was excellent and easy to adjust. Perfect and looking forward to rebooking ❤️
Frances
The cottage is very nice and the location too. Thereâ??s a modern interior but still plenty of character. We enjoyed our stay very much and may well visit again perhaps when days are longer and the weather warmer.
Scott
Small but beautiful lodge in a wonderful location. Would have been more comfortable with a slightly larger sofa
Nigel
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.
Carole
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.
Neil
A delightful cottage and location.
William
An unusual rental property in a fabulous location and a great base for exploring the North Norfolk coastline.
Susan
Very clean and comfortable cottage. Wi-fi erratic.
Edward
This was our 3rd visit to this property and we find the property ideal for a short stay and very handily located for the many attractive places along this beautiful coastline.
William
Very small clean comfortable and nicely decorated. It was as expected. Coat hangers would be useful as there are no wardrobes or space for any.
Marian
Lovely location and cottage,
Rachael
Mostly a nice lodge apart from the things mentioned above. It's not one we will visit again. We much prefer Palmers Lodge and Cuckoo Lodge and will book those again. South Lodge just too busy with traffic for our liking.
Georgia
We had a fantastic stay at the South Lodge East! The lodge is beautifully presented and has everything you might need. We would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a getaway in the countryside!
Elizabeth
What a lovely place to stay , it had everything we needed , and was in a wonderful location , where we could walk our dog for miles around the estate.
Susan
A cosy cottage for two in a delightful location. There is however no wardrobe or hanging rail in the bedroom for any clothes. There were merely hooks on the wall. There was no ice box in the fridge.
Jacqueline
The cottage is just lovely. Quaint and modern at the same time. Having a Log Burner was great. Sheets and towels all excellent. The cottage was spotless. The walks from the front door were gorgeous. And I could walk or drive all the way down to Holkham Hall, park and walk round the lake and see the Deer Park. The birds and surrounding park, just glorious.
Lynda
Small but exquisitely formed. Cottage ideally situated for woodland and beach walks, very helpful car park exemptions.
Andrew
Lovely cottage. Well equipped for a short stay. Perfect
Karen
Lovely lodge, clean and tidy. Excellent location, free car park passes was a bonus All staff on Holkham estate were lovely. We will be back
