We have stayed at the Victoria some time ago and loved it. We have eaten there several times and loved it. We travel around Norfolk regularly but with no bookings nor itinerary and in the past 5 months have several times attempted to get a room there. I always get an answerphone message, and a call back the FOLLOWING day!... More

Made a snap decision to book 2 nights for New Year's Eve based on a friend's recommendation, then became extremely worried after reading TripAdvisor reviews... However our expectations were totally exceeded. Clearly the Victoria is in new hands and emerging from some strange bygone Raj induced decoration theme. Firstly the team at the hotel (all of them) are charming and... More

As Norfolk residents and regular visitors to the Holkam coast, we pass by the Victoria regularly, but have never eaten there. It always looks busy and popular, so it was with much anticipation that we planned a birthday lunch there. I am a vegetarian, and while I do not expect an amzing choice, it would be good to not have... More

Meal outside, bar-b-que area. Floor covered with litter, food dropped from tables, wasp heaven! Staff disinterested possibly because rushed, easy to self serve. Best part about this lunch was the proximity to Holkham Hall where we hired a bike and did the grand tour of the parkland; after which we summoned up an appetite and had afternoon tea at the... More

we had a precious two nights away from our children and were really looking forward to a 'boutique hotel" break - reading the papers and lounging around. the first disappointment was that we werent put in the room i had discussed via email when booking - when i bought this up with reception the reply was simply that that room...

Several years ago the Victoria was 'done up' in such a way that you sat on uncomfortable furniture from the Far East, the food and service were ordinary, and expensive, and it was noisy. All that changed just a few weeks ago. David Horton-Fawkes came to Holkham last year as Estate Manager after working at the Savoy and Althrop and,... More

Having seen all the various changes to this North Norfolk Coast Hotel/Pub over the last 12 years, we are very pleased to welcome the latest one. The strange eclectic choice of furniture and decor, mainly Indian Raj style has gone, and the service and drinks offering has come up the professional Adnams standard. In the next week they'll have the... More

The location, as several reviewers have noted is lovely, and the staff (mostly quite young) were friendly and tried hard to please.The room we stayed in (the Colonial) had great character, although showing some signs of wear (holes in the sheets for example). The downstairs is another matter. A recent refurbishment has resulted in a bleak costa coffee style lounge... More
