The charming seaside town of Cromer is less than 1 mile away and can be reached via a lovely cliff-top walk or the wide sandy beach at low tide, with a choice of steps or sloped paths leading down to the shore. Cromer offers plenty for all ages, with its promenade, iconic pier and end-of-pier shows, numerous cafes and eateries, arcades, a cinema, pubs, take-away restaurants, and a wide range of independent and high street stores. Two excellent museums, an impressive historic church boasting the tallest tower in Norfolk which can be climbed at certain times of the year, a small children’s fairground and Amazona Zoo can be found nearby.

Very comfortable villa, well equipped and in a beautiful location with great access to Cromer Country Clubs leisure facilities, bar and restaurant. Also in a great location or walking and local buses to tour the Norfolk North Coastline

Although overall accommodation is ok, mostly quite modern, my scores reflect the fact that there was no dishwasher, which I feel is very important when on holiday. Also, it’s not ideal for 5 adults, as you have to go through occupied bedroom to get to attic room. Bathroom could also do with updating.

Lovely cottage in an excellent location for the beach and Cromer town. There was a lovely walk down to the beach past the lighthouse. The cottage was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable.
