Step back into 18th-century elegance with a stay at The Deer Arch. Located on the Holkham Estate, this Grade I-listed building is one of the most romantic and enchanting getaways for couples looking to unwind and retreat. A far cry from its former life as a sleeping place for shepherds, The Deer Arch exudes sumptuous style and quirky decadence that will surprise and delight you with its flair for detail. After a day exploring Holkham Estate’s vast parklands and surroundings, come back to The Deer Arch for a soak in the bedroom’s luxurious roll-top bathtub before curling up on the sofa in front of the roaring wood-burning fireplace. At night, you’ll feel like royalty in a super-king canopied bed, nestled right underneath the arch itself. In the morning, luxuriate over breakfast in the sun-filled kitchen area before heading back out with your loved one and canine best friend to discover the natural wonders of the nearby Holkham National Nature Reserve, surrounding villages, and sandy beaches like Holkham and Brancaster.
