About this property

Cosy family friendly cottage with a luxury indoor heated pool & tennis courts.

Off the beaten track nestling on the South Creake border and within a 10- mile drive to the coast at Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham bay, you’ll find our cluster of converted barns; family friendly cottages and first-class amenities. The barns are surrounded by beautiful peaceful countryside thronging with wildlife.

A great place where there is something for everyone; extensive gardens overlooked by the cottages’ private patios, an indoor games room, 2 all-weather tennis courts and the gorgeous high-ceilinged sparkling luxury indoor heated pool. With some of the best Norfolk beaches and attractions on our doorstep you can take your time, relax and soak up the wonderful natural surroundings. If you weren’t into bird and nature watching before you arrived, there’s a good chance you will be by the time you leave. To get you started there’s loads of local wildlife information in the games room.

The single-story barns have retained much of their original character, with bright open plan living spaces with lofty open roof trusses and natural painted brick walls. The whole place has a laid-back feel where spaces have been designed to suit young families and grand parents alike. Well- equipped kitchens with dishwashers make family mealtimes a breeze and in the summer there is always the barbecue! The living area has comfy sofas and a smart TV where you can catch up on Netflix and your favourite TV stations. The bedrooms have comfortable beds, either a king-sized bedroom for parents with space for a travel cot or a twin bedroom with two three-foot single beds. There is a family bathroom with bath over bath shower W.C. and wash basin.

Outside, there is a private patio area extending to the fully enclosed west facing lawned garden which creates a safe place for children to work off some energy and make new friends. The patio area is immediately outside the cottage, and hosts garden furniture with seating for four guests plus a charcoal barbecue. There is ample parking on the hard standing area opposite to the main entrance to the courtyards. The lower north car park features an electric vehicle charging point.

Owl Cottage is ideal for a couples or a small family. This area of North Norfolk offers endless walks in nature, cycling on offroad tracks to the coast, pretty villages, the glorious coastline with expansive sandy beaches, and marshes teeming with bird life.

Additional Information:
Pillows and duvets are synthetic fibre.

Great stay
Really excellent stay at Owl cottage. The facilities were ideal, and there was plenty to do on site for our three year old - the large field out the back was perfect for exploring. Well equipped kitchen and very comfy beds. The pool is a great feature and we managed to swim every day. Would definitely recommend to families! Thanks

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We moved from Islington London to north Norfolk 25 years ago. As weekenders we were already sailing at beautiful Burnham Overy Staithe on the North Norfolk Coast and John’s connections with the area went back over several generations. We loved the area so much as weekenders that we decided to escape city life and move here permanently. We have been welcoming guests to holiday cottages in this special corner of north Norfolk since 2000. Over the years we have developed the former dairy farm barns into a thriving & sustainable family friendly accommodation business. It makes everything worthwhile to hear the distant laughter of children at play in the gardens on a summers evening as parents relax and little ones make new friends. No wonder many of our guests return again and again.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cranmer!

Why they chose this property

Big skies, unspoilt coast and open countryside, cycling & walking. We have a shared passion for boating and swimming in the sea; Norfolk really comes alive for us from April once the sailing season begins. Swimming through the creeks at Burnham Overy Staithe with the tide is great for the soul and sense of wellbeing. We also love to explore the wide-open sandy beaches, tidal creeks and sultry marshland walks in the winter months. We were not birdwatchers before we settled here but with all of our hedgerow and tree planting, we are continuing to notice a myriad of new visitors to the fields and gardens.

What makes this property unique

The converted barns and cottages at Cranmer offer a chance for families to wind down and spend time together enjoying the superb onsite facilities, whilst giving the car a rest! The cluster of properties are perfectly located close to some of the best beaches on the north norfolk coast whi;st nestling in a beautiful rural location. The holiday barns share a fabulous luxury indoor heated pool, two all-weather tennis courts an indoor heated games room and easy access to safe outdoor space from the doorstep. There is the option to share holidays with extended family or friends whilst still having your own front door, by hiring several or all of the properties at once. For cycling enthusiasts there are some great local cycle routes along the quiet back roads all the way to the beach at Holkham.
The whole site has great eco credentials along with several E.V charging points for guests travelling in electric vehicles.
Owners Lynne & John live onsite. There is a small team of enthusiastic and friendly staff around during the week to help with local knowledge and advice and to help guests get the most out of their stay.
