Great place to visit! £5 parking  fee and then you can explore the whole site! Walled garden is £5.50 each and is well worth it! There is a lot of restoration and you get the feeling that they are really bothered about restoration for future generations, unlike the National Trust who just seem to chase the £££s The cafe is great and pretty decent value and the shop has some nice items. Overall this is well worth it.

You know you are arriving at a grand country house, the drive in is impressive and imposing. We love the contrast and variety of vast parkland, fully restored enormous walled garden, beautiful stately home and abundant wildlife. It is a lovely place to visit again and again.  It's a full day out, for a very generous parking fee of five quid. For that you get miles of walking and cycling tracks, a full adventure playground in the trees, endless pristine parkland, beautiful lakes, herds of deer and wild birds everywhere. Amazing value for a family trip.  The house is lived in, and they open up their estate as a source of income. The very nice cafe, bike hire, high ropes, shops and attractions are priced sensibly and accordingly. It's not a budget venue, but very good value.  The walled garden was opened up for an Easter holiday event for kids. A word hunt kept them running around the carefully planted beds, plus there was a good selection of crafts in the activity centre. Luckily our walk around conceded with one of the Velvetine Rabbit performances. We took our seats and enjoyed the 45minute performance of singing and story telling by an excellent theatre company. Our children were captivated for the full performance, which was due entirely to the skill of the performers. An unexpected high-quality highlight of the Easter event, which again turned out to be excellent value for money.

We had a lovely summer visit here with the kids. There is a great adventure playground with nets, slides etc. and a coffee hut next to it for tired parents!. The grounds are huge and we did a nice circular bike ride around 3km, ideal for little legs. Bike hire is available, though we brought our own. The formal gardens are large and beautifully kept. We enjoyed playing boules and croquet on the lawn, some other garden games were available. We didn't go in the hall, next time! You could easily fill an afternoon here or a whole day if you visited every part.

Beautiful place to think that it's owned by a family. Nicely managed, a lot of sign and clues tell us that the family care about the environment and surroundings. One may think why 3 stars for such a wonderful place? It is rip off for the captive audience who did not bring their picnic. A tray of chips cheapest thing I could find was a whooping £6.95! A days rent for a bike with a trailer £140.00! And on and on. Take your own bikes and picnic. Would recommend as long as one does not purchase anything.

We visited Holkham Hall while on holiday, it was a very hot day and we had our dogs with us. Holkham estate is open to dogs but they must be kept on a lead at all times which was a bit restrictive considering the vast open spaces there. They have deer wandering around which is why they don’t allow dogs off lead. The park is big but for us personally it didn’t hold much excitement as it’s mainly grass and due to the hot weather we’ve had recently it was all pretty dead looking and yellow. We met a very helpful estate lady who told us what we could find in the park and recommended the walled garden £5.50 per adult to visit so we walked up there to have a look. 6 acres of walled gardens sounded very impressive. There was a coffee cart selling drinks and cakes. We wandered around the gardens but due to the heat it was not really pleasant so we couldn’t really enjoy it, plus a lot of the plants looked to be suffering in the heat so it wasn’t really worth the money at that time.  In all I think we spent about an hour there and headed off to Wells Beach to come off with the dogs which was much nicer. It’s probably much nicer in cooler weather when we could explore further, also you can hire bikes but they’re quite expensive.

Beautiful estate and hall that is a great place to spend the day with family or friends. Parked £5 and explored the Hall as it was open. The stewards were exceptional; knowledgeable without being overbearing, free flow and photos permitted as you go around a selection of guest rooms, hosting rooms sitting rooms, entry hall etc, and serving quarters including the beautiful kitchen. Got very fortunate with nice weather so spent a good amount of time on the grounds, where it is lamb season! Lots of other wildlife including deer and birds as well. Good selection of tasty food trucks, nice cafeteria available. We got combined tickets £22 so went to the walled garden, where they're still awaiting most of the blooms as it's early spring unfortunately freshly fertilized as well. They did have a nice tropical greenhouse at one end, and games and crafts available for Easter weekend. Overall a great place to spend the day, learn some history, and get some exercise in as well.

We loved this place! Walking, walled gardens, citrus house, cycle hire and fab cycling for families, great food facilities, good amount of toilets, amazing playground for the children, deer, geese, ducks wildlife galore. Plenty of refreshments and food we took a picnic and you only have to pay £5 to park nothing else to pay unless you want to hire bikes etc.  Suitable for buggies / mobility aids, youngsters on balance bikes or older kids who can cycle solo.  Absolutely a must visit for any family visiting Norfolk

So much to see and do. Ideal for everyone, families, couples and anyone with walking difficulties as all catered for. Great gift shop, clean toliets, plenty of space for picnics. Restaurant /cafe looks great but didn't use it on this occasion. Nice walk to the walled garden which is wonderful. So much space, beautiful plants, buildings and plenty of seating. Coffee from the filter-box-coffee was lovely. Staff so naturally friendly and helpful. Gave us lots of information about where to go and what to do. Loved it and will go back again.

One of the most interesting houses i have visited, unbelievable grand entrance hall and access to many of the rooms, extremely knowledgeable guides, the cafe offers good food selection at reasonable prices. The extensive grounds and lake are well worth visiting as is the wall garden. Only adverse comment is having to pay £5 car parking fee in addition to admission charge

Lovely large estate to walk around and only £5 to park up all day if you want. Loads of Deer freely roaming, you can easily get 5 miles of comfortable walking in. Nice Cafes, plenty of toilets, great location and good for dogs, on leads.
