King Charles offers lavish £6,300-a-week holiday retreat on Sandringham Estate

Since ascending the throne, King Charles III has made several notable moves—and now, he’s opening the doors of one of the properties on his Sandringham Estate to the public, offering a luxurious holiday home for an eye-watering £6,300 per week during peak seasons.

The stunning turreted property “The Folly,” recently renovated to the highest standard, comes with a unique warning.

According to the listing on Oliver’s Travels, the turret is accessible only via a steep external stone staircase, making it suitable only for confident adults or supervised older children. The internal stairs may also be challenging for guests with limited mobility. However, those who can navigate the steps will be rewarded with breathtaking woodland views from the turret room—described as "a peaceful nook for journaling, sketching, or daydreaming high above it all." Guests will also have access to the estate’s sprawling 20,000-acre parkland, perfect for exploration.

Originally built as a ladies’ tea retreat, the historic gem has been transformed into an elegant getaway, blending royal heritage with modern comfort. The property sleeps six and features a drawing room, dining room, kitchen, boot room, and three bedrooms.

Adding to its charm, the home is adorned with royal artifacts from the King’s private collection, offering guests a taste of regal history.

Designed to balance tradition with countryside coziness, the retreat promises a truly unique stay "at the heart of one of Britain’s most iconic royal residences."

Reports from The Mirror suggest that King Charles could earn an estimated £1.4 million from his holiday lets across his royal portfolio—a lucrative venture he’s well-acquainted with, given the Duchy of Cornwall’s longstanding rental operations.

For those seeking a lavish escape with a royal touch, this turreted retreat might just be the perfect getaway—stairs and all.
