Wow! What a location. Perched on top of the cliffs at Cromer with uninterrupted views over the sea to the East, West and North and views of the iconic Pier, this is a super seaside holiday house with a front row seat for some fantastic sunsets.

Cromer is a great seaside resort and popular year-round, drawing visitors back time and again. It has a good beach, great promenade with traditional entertainment such as pitch and putt, the famous Cromer Pier itself featuring year-round shows, a local history museum, a new lifeboat museum, cliff-top golf at The Royal Cromer Golf Club, a multi-screen cinema, Amazona Zoo, indoor children's play barn, Kart Track, cycle hire and plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants. The town is set on the cliff tops with plenty of walking available on the Norfolk Coast Path offering great views along the coast and out to sea and if you have the energy, on open days you can climb to the top of the church tower for some spectacular views. Beyond Cromer, take a train into Norwich for a cultural day out, visit the fabulous historic houses of Felbrigg and Blickling and take a walk through Sheringham Park, all run by the National Trust. If you want to leave the car behind to go exploring, take the Coast Hopper bus, which is hop-on, hop-off service that runs right along the coast to Hunstanton and The Wash. There is a huge amount to discover and Cromer is a great place to start.

Lovely cottage with everything you need for a weeks holiday. We spent our afternoons in the conservatory enjoying views of the sea & the big skys. Great garden & parking. Ideal location close for all amenities. Nice that cottage has been in the same family for decades.

You cannot beat this location. It is by far what dreams are made of. The bed in the King room was exceptional. We lived in the conservatory for most of our holiday. We loved it, and have some beautiful memories from our stay.

Very comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed. Fabulous location, just a short walk into town. Very private, not overlooked atall. We enjoyed staying here, both out and about in Cromer and spending time relaxing at The Lookout.

Comfortable and cozy place to use as a base for exploring this corner of Norfolk, Cromer is a smashing sea-side town and offers plenty of options for a good beer and food, if a little pricey. Great walks from here and the sea view is very good. We went out of season so not everything open yet, but will provide whole family entertainment as you'd exRead morepect. Hide
