At Oliver's Travels, we've always championed holidays that are a little out of the ordinary - with a portfolio full of heritage-rich and characterful homes, The Folly is a natural fit. It's a rare privilege to offer guests the chance to stay within the grounds of such an iconic estate.

We're excited to open the doors to such a unique retreat, and can't wait to see the stories that unfold here."

Since 1862, Sandringham Estate has been a cherished retreat for the Royal Family, bought by Queen Victoria for her son, the future King Edward VII. Located in Norfolk, the estate has since served as a beloved countryside home for successive monarchs, offering a serene and intimate setting away from the formalities of Royal life. The Royal Family traditionally gathers at Sandringham for Christmas, and the estate remains a symbol of the monarchy's lasting connection to the British countryside.

Set within the estate's 20,000 acres of historic parkland, ancient woodland, and landscaped gardens, The Folly at Sandringham is a beautifully restored, turreted retreat that offers guests a rare opportunity to stay near the heart of one of Britain's most iconic residences. The Folly sublimely combines its rich heritage with modern luxury and quiet grandeur. The home was originally built as a place where ladies retired for tea, and has since been transformed into a refined hideaway, complete with well-preserved period features such as stone hearths, arched doorways, and hand-finished floors. Artefacts from the private collection add authenticity and a sense of history throughout, while the kitchen and dining area are finished in heritage turquoise with historical details such as butler sinks and traditional cabinetry.

The drawing room features French doors which open onto the beautifully landscaped gardens, and the sitting room invites guests to unwind in elegant comfort, with William Morris wallpaper and a cosy wood burner. The Folly sleeps up to six guests in three double bedrooms split across two separate wings. The principal bedroom is found in one wing, complete with an ensuite shower room, with the two additional rooms located in the second wing, one of which has access to a wraparound balcony. Outside, a staircase leads to the turret, which offers a secluded spot from which to enjoy panoramic views across the estate, with the occasional glimpse of the sea on clear days.

Guests staying at The Folly have the entire Sandringham Estate on their doorstep, making it the perfect place to explore the rich Royal heritage and breathtaking surroundings.

2025 rates at The Folly at Sandringham start from £3,00 for a three-night stay for 6 people.
