Eat, shop and stay
The Victoria
Exquisite food, perfectly plumped pillows, and a location like no other
The Victoria is a 4 star hotel ideally situated moments from the golden sands of Holkham beach and at the gates of Holkham Park – a perfect location to discover Norfolk’s windswept coastline, seaside towns and spectacular wildlife.
We have twenty individually decorated rooms across two historical buildings. Our rooms range from snug doubles to large luxury suites, and we welcome dogs in our rooms in the main building (including the restaurant). The Victoria’s carefully curated menu showcases the very best locally sourced ingredients and our restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner to all.
Our four bespoke shepherd huts are beautifully landscaped and perfectly placed for coastal getaways and rural relaxation nestled just behind The Victoria.
Relax, rest and really enjoy yourself
Looking for a delicious, seasonal meal, a luxury hotel stay with all the extra special touches or a cosy cabin all to yourself? We’ve got you covered.
Our Restaurant
The Victoria’s carefully curated menu showcases the very best locally sourced ingredients. The quality of our ingredients is paramount, whether it be fish, shellfish or samphire from the North Norfolk coast, beef from our farms, lamb or pork from one of our farm tenants or vegetables from Holkham’s Walled Garden. In the winter, we serve wild game from the family shoot and venison from the estate’s herd of Fallow Deer.
Our hotel
Our 20 hotel rooms are split across two buildings, the main Victoria building and Ancient House, just opposite. We offer double and twin rooms, as well as larger options suited to families with lounge areas and additional beds.
Dogs are welcome in The Victoria’s main building, including the 10 bedrooms here and the restaurant, and must be kept on leads at all times please. Ancient House is reserved solely for humans!
Our shepherd huts
Our four bespoke shepherd huts are beautifully landscaped and perfectly placed for coastal getaways and rural relaxation. Nestled within walking distance of Holkham Beach, the National Nature Reserve and Holkham Hall, our charming retreats are ideal for couples looking for a romantic break, solo travellers seeking quiet time in nature, and those looking for dog friendly self-catering options with a sprinkling of luxury.
