4 Park Gates is a large, spacious holiday home created from two former estate workers' cottages. Located at the heart of the Blickling Estate, the cottage benefits from a large enclosed private garden and two open fires.

With magnificent walking trails on your doorstep, wake up early and get out into the estate. Just down the road from the cottage is a traditional pub, the perfect place to while away a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Just three miles from the cottage is the pretty Georgian market town of Aylsham. The market place, which we care for, hosts two weekly markets, monthly farmer’s markets and a host of community events throughout the year.

There are two other holiday cottages nearby, Blacksmith's Cottage (sleeps four) and Blickling Dairy House (sleeps five), and another four cottages spread around the estate. Multiple cottages can be booked for a group stay.
