Eat, shop and stay
The Victoria
We are delighted to welcome you to The Victoria to dine in our restaurant and stay in our beautiful rooms.
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 countryside.
We have twenty individually decorated rooms, across two historical buildings. Our rooms range from small, cosy doubles to large family suites, and we welcome dogs in our rooms in the main building.
It is arguable that our main attraction is the food we serve in our restaurant, for which we received two AA Rosettes in 2023. Our main themes are fresh, local and seasonal, and we are proud of each and every dish we produce.
Everything we do here at The Victoria is focused on making our hotel and restaurant as sustainable as possible. Find out more about our sustainability efforts, which support Holkham’s WONDER mission.
Pre-booking is highly recommended to avoid disappointment, and our restaurant and bar is open to diners and residents only. Online restaurant bookings are only bookable a week ahead — please do contact us directly if you wished to book a table further in advance. There is a two-night minimum stay on Saturday bookings, staying either Friday-Saturday or Saturday-Sunday.
To book, call us on 01328 711008, email victoria@holkham.co.uk or use our booking buttons.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

Dining
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 orangery offers magnificent views over the Holkham National Nature Reserve, while our restaurant provides a cosier feel. In the cooler months, warm up by our log fire.
Please note, hotel residents have priority for lunch and dinner tables and therefore pre-booking is advised if you wish to dine with us.
Prices for stays
Rates differ depending on the season, the size of the room and the number of guests staying. Rooms vary from our ‘cosy’ size to our large family suites.

WONDER
We’re inspired by our natural environment and are committed to being environmentally and ethically responsible.
We heat the hotel using a biomass boiler fuelled exclusively by Holkham woodchip: the woodland is certified under the UK Woodland Assurance Standard (UKWAS). Our LED lighting is powered by certified renewable energy sources. Our gardens support biodiversity with native, pollinator-friendly plants.
Wherever possible, our ingredients come from local suppliers within a 50-mile radius. Many come from the estate itself, including venison, beef, lamb and vegetables. We are closing the loop on compostables: any compostable packaging, food and plant waste is collected and composted, where it ultimately forms a nutrient rich compost which is used in the Walled Garden.
We were voted no. 2 in Visit England’s Guide to Eco-Friendly Breaks in England – January 2022. We received Green Tourism Gold Award in our first assessment the following year and we’re delighted to have maintained this high standard since.
We have four EV chargers here at The Victoria for guests to use.
In-room massages
We are sorry but in-room massages are currently unavailable. There are great spas and beauticians in the local area – please ask our reception team for recommendations.
