Once an important place of pilgrimage, the ruins of Bromholm Priory are still to be seen in Bacton today. The Priory was built in 1113 AD by William de Glanville and was home to the Cluniacs, the Black Monks who purchased a piece of the True Cross, the Bromholm Roode.  Ensuing miracles ensured visits by many thousands of pilgrims including King Henry III. The Priory was mentioned in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, the Domesday Book, and was the subject of a prediction in Mother Shipton's Almanac.

Today the coastal village opens its doors to the 21st century pilgrims who visit for their holidays. They enjoy the friendly village atmosphere and the sandy beaches, which are often quiet even in the height of summer. There is a good range of local amenities including a pub and shop nearby, a children's playground.

We had a lovely week staying in the cottage. The facilities were very good for kids - great pool, games room and outdoor area. There was also lots to do in the general area, good walks to be had, places to visit and lovely coastline. Maxine the property manager was extremely welcoming and very helpful during our stay.

What an amazing place. The facilities were excellent, access to the swimming pool great and the outside space for active children great to have. The four very active children with us were never bored. Location close to the beach really was a bonus. Thank you for the most amazing welcome pack - unexpected and a real hit.

Lovely location and secure garden area - parking close by. Three bedrooms - all looking into the garden. The twin beds are on the small side - but very comfy ! Although a little tricky to find at first - the location is very quiet and an easy walk to a fabulous and fairly empty beach.

We had a wonderful time: very close to the beach, the swimming pool was fantastic, and Maxine was very helpful. The sauna was broken for the week that we were there, but that wasn't an issue as we wouldn't have used it anyway. We would definitely be keen to come back.

Great place to visit, short walk to beach and easy access from Bacton by car to most of Norfolk. The swimming pool is a gem.

Lovely quiet location, with a very short walk to the dog friendly sandy beach. Use of a swimming pool in a beautiful converted tudor barn. Nicki, the manager, on hand to sort out any problems. The children loved the games room and of course, the brilliant swimming pool.

Gorgeous property in a perfect location. Cottage had everything we needed and the swimming pool is a huge bonus. Welcome pack on arrival and the manager was available for any concerns, not that we had any!
