A Rural Country Retreat in North Norfolk
Cranmer Country Cottages is a good central base for experiencing Norfolk’s wide open spaces with bracing walks, cycling on local quiet lanes, bird watching on the wild Norfolk marshes and sampling some of the best local Norfolk pubs and restaurants.
As well hitting the nearby beaches, don’t miss out on the many other beauty spots to be found in the local Norfolk countryside.
Cranmer Country Cottages lies on the border between North and West Norfolk and within easy reach of 280 sq miles of land designated an Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. More than 96% of Norfolk is rural and much of the countryside is set aside for agriculture, woodland, forestry or just left open. That is why there just seems to be so much space and it is easy to escape the crowds even in the height of summer.
We help sustain the wonderful natural Norfolk landscape via our commitment to save energy, preserve the environment and help fight climate change. Our recently converted 5 star ‘eco barns’ use energy only from carbon neutral sources.
We are close to the coast at Wells-Next-the-Sea and the Norfolk Coastal Path making us an ideal location for a relaxing and inspiring walking and cycling holiday at anytime of year.
On your bike
The Norfolk countryside is perfect for cycling although you may find that it’s not as flat as you first thought. We have a safe storage barn for bikes and a drying space for wet weather gear. We provide a selection of route maps. If you don’t want to bring your own bike, cycle hire is available locally.
On foot
Experience nature’s environmental gym. Discover Norfolk from a different perspective and unwind with therapeutic marsh, beach or pinewoods walks. We have the Holkham estate close by offering a number of walking routes to suit all ages and abilities. Walkers can explore the numerous nature reserves or SSIs mentioned.
I can't think of another five-star self-catering accommodation in the UK that is as green as Cranmer
If you are looking for a luxury, family stay in North Norfolk, this is it. If you are looking for a luxury, ecologically aware family stay this is it too. A fabulous holiday with a green conscience, if you will......
Lovely cottage and fantastic facilities for the children (aged 3 + 5)
The play area out the back was ideal and the tennis courts and games rooms provided entertainment for children from 2 years up to 15, plus the adults too! Swimming pool was icing on the cake.
Came across this hidden gem by accident and would like to keep it our secret ! However so pleased they are doing well. A lot of care and detail has gone into the renovation of these barns including a fab swimming pool and an essential games room for kids.
We had a brilliant holiday - thanks for providing us with everything we needed.
We have had a fantastic time and would love to come again
Self-catering just got a seriously stylish upgrade
We have just been here for three nights but so wish we were able to stay a week! Thank you so much and we wish you every success with this venture which is truly excellent
