Welcome to the Kelling Estate

Luxury short breaks in beautiful North Norfolk

The perfect rural holiday retreat, The Kelling Estate on the North Norfolk coast offers luxurious, contemporary self-catering accommodation.

Spacious barns and cosy cottages have been restored and stylishly decorated to provide relaxed, country chic interiors. There’s a heated indoor swimming pool, two all weather tennis courts and a children’s play area.

The tranquil estate is just a few miles from unspoilt beaches in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty while the charming Georgian town of Holt is a stone’s-throw away, as are historic houses at Blickling, Holkham and Sheringham. You can chill and do nothing, or sample all that North Norfolk has to offer – and there’s plenty.

Well-behaved dogs and responsible owners are very welcome and for cyclists and walkers too, it’s a truly wonderful place from which to explore the stunning surrounding countryside.

For families, for romance, but especially for those who love the great outdoors, a short break on The Kelling Estate will refresh and inspire. Find out more about Holiday Breaks on The Kelling Estate

The Estate

The Kelling Estate is a working farm with acres of maintained woodland and many lakes and ponds. Oil industrialist Henri Deterding, founder of Royal Dutch Shell, acquired it a century ago and his descendants remain its owners and guardians.

Henri was passionate about countryside pursuits and conservation; the Deterding family has continued this legacy, winning awards and specialist grants for their hard work. This is reflected in its beauty; the estate is carpeted with the colours of nature and is home to many rare birds and animals. Where possible, ‘green’ principles are employed to continue the sensitive care of this special place.

“We are proud to welcome you to our beautiful estate, and to share it with you.
It’s our greatest wish that you enjoy this stunning corner of Norfolk and that you want for nothing during your stay with us, be it short or long.” Ronald Deterding.
