Wolterton Hall, an exquisite 18th-century estate in North Norfolk, was constructed in 1741 by Horatio Walpole. The Palladian home features 12 bedrooms and is set within a sprawling 500-acre estate of fields and woodland.

Indulge in the serenity of Wolterton Hall with a tranquil stay, where you can explore the sprawling estate, row across the picturesque lake, and stargaze in the enchanting walled garden.
Wolterton Hall, an impressive stately home with a Grade I listing, was designed by Thomas Ripley for Horatio Walpole, the Earl of Orford, and is heavily influenced by the designs of Andrea Palladio, the renowned classical architect from Vicenza. As one of the four Whig power houses of North Norfolk, Wolterton Hall holds a significant historical standing.
The entire Palladian estate, featuring 11 en suite bedrooms, is available for exclusive hire to host special occasions, creating a distinctive setting for memorable events. Located in a picturesque setting facing south, the hall offers stunning views of the park crafted by Charles Bridgeman in the 18th century, complete with a 10-acre lake, situated within 500 acres of fields and woodland.
