Was greeted by Pam (I Think) who was very welcoming and showed me and my wife to the room we had been speaking about over the phone. It was lovely! Very big bed, excellent bath and shower.

After having checked out from another local 'luxury' hotel within 3 hours of arriving (see separate review) we managed to secure an 'attic family room' at the Victoria in Holkham at the last minute. Although in the eaves, my 6ft 1" husband didn't have any serious issues with headroom and the room was comfortable and spacious. Our family room also... More

Thank you for review and we are glad we were able to accommodate you at such short notice. We will address the confusion regarding our breakfast so that it is clearer. Our hotel will be closed for a complete refurbishment early 2013 so we hope that you may return to pay us a visit in future. More

Stayed here on a Dinner, Bed & Breakfast deal. Excellent value, great staff and service. The food and drink is all to a good standard, exactly what you would expect of an Adnams owned hotel. If the deal is repeated then I'm sure we'll stay again!

We enjoyed a fantastic stay at the Victoria. We brought our dog and so expected our stay to be less luxurious but our room was fantastic: lots of space, a large bed and bathroom, and even a large basket for our dog. The food was lovely and reasonably priced. There was an adequate wine list and the staff were incredibly... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Standing at the gateway to Holkham and the National Nature Reserve, the Victoria is a classic English inn owned by the Coke family and managed by the Holkham estate. There are ten elegant bedrooms, the bar and dining rooms offer a relaxed blend of style and comfort. The “Vic” serves delicious locally sourced food, much of it grown and raised on the estate with a bold emphasis on freshness, simplicity and value. Holkham has been a leading agricultural estate since the 1800’s when Thomas William Coke bought the site and the young Queen Victoria elevated him to the peerage in recognition of his contribution to farming in 1837. The name of the proposed new inn must have been inevitable when it opened its doors in 1838.The Victoria re-opened in May 2013 following extensive refurbishment. ... more   less
