Right Royal Living

Wolterton Hall, one of the four great 18th century power houses of Norfolk, is being lovingly restored to bring history, luxury and tranquillity to North Norfolk after standing empty for three decades. Its four impressive holiday lets offer a tranquil hideaway this summer.

Wolterton Park’s owners, Peter Sheppard and Keith Day, are restoring the estate to its former splendour and have launched four impeccably designed holiday properties fusing modern standards with understated elegance of the Georgian period. Income from the room lettings will go back into the restoration of one of the UK’s finest stately homes, allowing the beautiful Georgian estate to become fully sustainable and a long-term feature of the stunning Norfolk countryside. All four holiday lets are fitted with Smallbone kitchens and Philippe Starck bathrooms and decorated with original portraits and contemporary artwork.

All visitors are invited to take a private tour of the main Hall to discover the true extent of the restoration, history and beauty of this magnificent house. And guests can roam in the 120-acre park and enjoy the largest walled garden in East Anglia, as well as the ten-acre lake.

Fresh eggs from the Wolterton flock of Sussex Whites and Cream Legbars and rustic homemade baked bread can be enjoyed. Guests can also take advantage of The Park’s concierge service to enjoy activities including a private chef, beauty treatments and horse riding.

With a choice of accommodation suitable for couples and dog owners through to larger groups, all of the family are kept happy!
