Half term stay

The kids loved the facilities on site, especially our own private slot in the swimming pool! There was lots to do in the area. I would definitely recommend this place for families.

Relaxing holiday in Norfolk

Family birthday weekend

Lovely, well-furnished spacious cottages with grassy and paved outside areas for play and relaxation. Good facilities (swimming, games room, EV charging) on site. Convenient location for short excursions to coast and inland attractions.

Restful stay

Very last minute stay here. Cottage was lovely and modern. Nice to receive a welcome pack. There is an onsite laundrette which was handy. You need to pay for the tumble dryer or there’s washing lines at the cottage. Games Room and Pool were an added bonus and as we were the only ones there had more time in the pool. Owners were introduced themselves but were not intrusive and were very communicative via email. I did suggest some items that I thought would be useful for other stays. The only thing I would suggest would be for a mobile number to contact the owner rather than email as I don’t feel as if that would be as quick in an emergency.

Excellent stay

We booked this cottage along with two others so our wider family could spend time together. It worked brilliantly - the accommodation was great, the facilities well thought through and easy to use. It was great being able to have dinner outside and watch the children play on the playground. We will definitely be returning.

A fantastic swing, great for the kids

The kids loved the play area and the pool. We did find that the pool may have been over chlorinated or something as it gave us stinging eyes. The house was comfortable and well equipped. We found plenty to do within the nearby vicinity and would definitely consider coming back!

Great stay

Our second visit and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. My children absolutely loved the swimming pool and the space to run around outside. The cottage was clean and comfortable and the staff were very responsive. Close to so many good places to visit, and the owners offer lots of recommendations which is brilliant. We’ll definitely come back.

Tern Cottage -Cranmer Cottages

Two friends and I booked the cottage for the weekend as we were doing the Norfolk Coast Mighty Hike on the Saturday. It was the perfect stay for us. Comfortable and spacious. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing our tired bodies in the pool on Sunday! The outside area is simply stunning and we very much enjoyed eating alfresco watching the sunset. We would love to come back with families in tow to make use of the games room, tennis courts and field/garden. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming. The perfect weekend- Thank you x

Perfect accommodation for 4

We stayed in Tern along with our eldest grandson while the rest of our family stayed in Avocet and Garden House close by. This proved to be a perfect arrangement for us, being able to escape from the noise and commotion of the 7 other grandchildren! Tern is perfect for 4 both for space and equipment. It is ideally located for the swimming pool, games room and the field for games and outdoor play. Can’t recommend it highly enough. We will be back!

3 nights in Tern

This time we stayed in Tern cottage for 3 nights. We returned to Cranmer due to its ideal location, being roughly 15 mins from Wells and Holkham. If you're not eating out, there's a nearby Walsingham farm shop. Supermarket such as Waitrose can also deliver here. The cottage is well appointed. The living space is open plan with great view of the garden space. It was a comfortable space including the beds. The main selling point is the swimming pool. It's excellent to have for a family stay with these facility. Also having both open swim at the start / end of the day as well as a rota offering private swim is perfect. The garden (or rather the field on the back) is the perfect open space ideal for family play. Although we wouldn't hesitate to go back, if we were to pick fault or to have to ask for improvements then it would be: - An insect netting for the sliding door. There were a lot of flies in the cottage after opening doors on a warm day - A larger sink in the bathroom, it was adequate, but small. - More storage in the bathroom, particularly for your items around/near the mirror - Address or notice of the smell to the main bedroom, which seemed to come from the old building walls on the garden side
