Has anyone visited this garden? We're hoping to go next month, taking a
week in the area and pootling about for a bit. Any tips on good places to
stay/see/visit would be very welcome.

I went last year. It is very impressive. So much so I'm going again soon,
even though it costs £6! The owners have formed several long corridors which
criss cross the site and each is blanked off with a hedge into which a hole
is cut to frame a landmark, eg., churches and Happisburgh (Haisboro)
Lighthouse. The intensity of gardening over such a large site is amazing.

My favourite places in Norfolk for taking visitors would be:
Burnham Overy Staithe and doing the mile or so walk from the Staithe to the
beach, usually deserted even in high season. plus there's ample free
parking.

The Victoria at Holkham which is a pub/hotel on the Holkham Estate, then
you can drive through the Holkham Estate. Holkham beach is vast.

Blakeney, quite near Holkham and is a staple for any calendar of Norfolk.
You can go on seal trips from here or the adjoining Morston Quay

Sandringham House and Gardens in west Norfolk, is worth a look.
