What our customers say about their holidays

• Mr Hartley - Verified booking

  A fantastic location if you like solitude, set well into the estate among woodland with wildlife in abundance including roe deer, owls, foxes etc. The mile long route in from the gates is through open pasture with herds of fallow deer and flocks of sheep, hares, and in the evening lots of rabbits. Holkham is a wonderful place to stay particularly if you are into wildlife, especially birding. The wildlife conservation area is close by as is the beach. The Victoria restaurant is easy to get to without coming off the estate where the food is very good. The lodge itself is very cosy and warm once the log burner is lit. (There are two radiators but not quite adequate on there own for us as at the time, february, as the outside temperature was close to freezing) It consists of one very large, comfortable bed sitting room with separate loo and shower room. Plenty of things like tea, coffee, sugar etc plus some very nice Holkham biscuits, both savoury and shortbread. There are dog bowls provided along with some treats in a tin.

  The property was in a beautiful location- perfect for walking in the stunning national park with lots of trails to follow.

  The house comfortable and modern with everything we needed and the dishwasher was a welcome addition. There were only two of us but plenty of space for a family of 4. The bedding and towels were very clean and it smelled really fresh as you walked in. The bed was enormous and so comfy- we slept like a log! 4/5 stars as it wasn’t perfect if I’m being picky- there were no coat hooks; the oven was coming out as we opened the door; the shower leaked which left a patch of damp; and some of the bathroom fixings were wobbly. Having said that, those really are niggles- the parking was great, staff were really friendly; the bed was enormous with a really comfy mattress; stunning views and all the facilities you need; beautifully clean towels and bedding; lovely clean kitchen and cooking facilities; a lovely, warm and cosy place; and the restaurant right on your doorstep. Beautiful place and would happily return and will recommend to family and friends.

  Lovely cottage at the side of the hotel.

  Good size for 2 people and 2 children. No hairdryer so bring your own if you need one. As per one of the reviews, there are no wardrobes but there are hooks and hangers on bedroom doors and a big set of drawers on the landing. Hotel is really nice, friendly staff and good food. Wooler is perfectly placed to explore Northumberland... And some of Scotland! 30 min drive to Bamburgh, Seahouses for boat trips and Holy Island. The town is less than a 10 min walk from the hotel /cottages and is really nice with 3 pubs, restaurants, hotels and shops. Everyone is friendly. Would definitely visit again!

  We had a lovely stay at Primrose Cottage with our dog.

  The cottage is a mix of traditional features and modern comforts and is an excellent location to explore with a vehicle. We had no issues with ordering a Tesco delivery or takeaway during our stay. Very comfortable and clean, stunning bathroom with his and her sinks and free standing bath plus shower. Our only one struggle was the step out of the door is quite small in surface area and high/steep step and both the dog and a person in our party struggled due to mobility issues. However, would not stop us coming back and we are looking to rebook already :) Thank you for a wonderful stay! X

  The cottage was very well appointed and the description of the facilities (including the lack of sink) was accurate. Actually, the description undersold it slightly, as it didn't make clear that the cottage has wifi. The standard of furnishings was excellent and the property manager was very helpful. The welcome hamper, with its range of local products, was a lovely touch. It's a beautiful location, in a remote corner of the Holkham site. It actually felt like a luxury hotel room, transplanted into a woodland setting. We will definitely return to try another of the properties at Holkham.
