King Charles welcomes visitors to his private estate

King Charles has welcomed the public to experience a slice of royal life with the opening of The Gardens House, a picturesque cottage nestled within the historic Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.

Once the home of the estate’s head gardener, this charming property is now available for holiday rental through Oliver’s Travels, offering guests a rare opportunity to stay on the beloved royal grounds.

The cottage boasts inviting "farmhouse chic" interiors, featuring a spacious king-sized bed and a delightful outdoor dining area perfect for enjoying the tranquil surroundings.

While Sandringham House itself will be temporarily closed from July 20 to 29, visitors can still explore the estate’s restaurant, shop, and expansive parkland.

King Charles is ready to enjoy his summer break likely spent amid the serene Scottish Highlands, the Prince and Princess of Wales typically choose to soak up part of their holidays closer to home in Norfolk.

A recent description perfectly sums up its charm: “Encircled by towering pines and edged by centuries-old estate walls, The Gardens House rests within the heart of Sandringham’s royal grounds.”

Rachel Avery, Homes Editor at HELLO!, praised the property’s unique appeal, "This holiday rental sits right on the Sandringham Estate, so you’ll be sharing the same idyllic walks as the royals. 

Inside, the charming interiors are incredibly welcoming and perfectly capture the farmhouse style that’s set to be big in 2025."
