Take a leisurely stroll along the promenade and soak up the town's rich history. Marvel at the iconic Cromer Pier, brimming with entertainment options such as live shows and delicious seafood restaurants. Embark on scenic coastal walks along the Norfolk Coast Path, where you can explore hidden coves, rugged cliffs, and picturesque landscapes. For golf enthusiasts, Cromer boasts an 18-hole golf course (1 mile) with stunning sea views that will challenge players of all skill levels.

The master bedroom with a king bed is a stylish and comfortable room, whilst the second bedroom with bunk beds is perfect for children. On the landing there is also a snug area, again perfect for children, with a comfy sofa bed, TV and DVDs. Just next door to this is the lovely family bathroom with a shower and a WC.

Heading outside, which can be accessed via a side door, you are led up a short path to the courtyard-style garden, passing the outside WC on your way. The courtyard garden is completely private and a great space to enjoy your morning coffee or some al fresco dining. There is also private access straight from the courtyard to the road offering the perfect place to store bikes or surfboards.

Perfect in every way. A very relaxing holiday with so many comforts and extras provided. We loved the goodies on the table to welcome us. There were plenty of games, books and videos to cater for all ages and 2 toilets and lounges as well! The house was in the centre of Cromer and very close to the beach, so was ideal for us as we came by train.Read more It felt peaceful inside and the courtyard garden was a haven of tranquility. Cromer is a picturesque and thriving resort in a beautiful part of Norfolk. Buses took us further afield and gave us opportunity for walks and spotting wildlife. Thank you for making our holiday so special. Hide

Designed so well. Great decor. Lovely and clean. No welcome package either which is unusual for a holiday cottage? Unfortunately the washing machine had broken and we had hoped to use it as we travelled light! The house is bang on a busy street. You cannot have the window blinds open. People constantly walking past and a lot of traffic. It is very Read morenoisy. Even in the early hours and vehicles delivering etc extremely early. No chance of a lie in! Even in March However Cromer is great! Fabulous restaurants and beaches. We will be back but will stay elsewhere unfortunately. Hide

The location is great your really in the heart of the town, everything is literally on your doorstep. I ate out every day but the cottage is equipped with everything you need if you prefer to stay in. The bedroom is very spacious for a cottage with a very comfy bed.

We had a lovely week at The Snail. The cottage is in an amazingly convenient location as you can be on the beach in under five minutes and equally have shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes right on your doorstep. The accommodation is cosy and comfortable - a real 'home from home'. The outdoor courtyard space is a lovely, private bonus and gives a Read morecontinental feel to the property. Everything you need for a relaxing seaside break - would definitely visit again! Hide

Excellent little cottage, right in the heart of Cromer, perfect for exploring all over Norfolk. It was comfortable and thoughtfully laid out, with a well equipped kitchen. The courtyard was a nice little oasis of calm and cool when it got overly hot. We will certainly be back.
