Coot cottage at Cranmer

Our 14th stay (I think, may have lost count) at Cranmer in Coot. Once again the standard of cleanliness is first class and despite some issues which were doggedly overcome by Jen and Becci during our stay (thank you ladies), we had a wonedrful time. The addtion of a hot tub was a very welcome surprise and is delightful. Yes we will be back once again, already booked for Septmber 26.

Thank you, once again

We love the cottage, and I love the swimming pool. There were one or two glitches with the system during our stay (hot water problem) but I think they were dealt with quite promptly. I did find I received rather too many emails for my liking….no need to remind me about rubbish disposal so many times, thank you! But we would happily come back to Cranmer Cottages again

Excellent Stay

Great location for exploring North Norfolk. Coot Cottage had everything that we needed, so 5 star rating. Enjoyed having the Games Room on site. Our grand-children and their parents stating in other cottages really enjoyed the Swimming Pool on site. The volume of instructions was overwhelming compared to other holiday cottages where we have stayed, but we managed to understand everything.

Perfect location

We chose coot as an overflow extension to our families party in the Eco Barn. It was ideal for us as Grandparents as it gave us a quiet escape whilst being very close to the wider family. The location is superb as is the space for the children to play and the excellent swimming pool. This was our third visit and I am sure we will be back.

Coot Cottage in September

Our twelfth stay in coot (first in 2012) excellent cottage, very comfortable for the two of us. The location of Cranmer is perfect for cycling (complete with a secure bike store).whilst the country lanes and by-roads offer almost traffic free routes. Wildlife is always around and the in house activity room and swimming pool are available should the weather be poor. Already booked twice fior 2026

Love Coot Cottage

Having stayed at Cranmer Cottages before we always knew it would be another lovely stay. We stayed in Coot cottage and again we were not disappointed. Perfect for a couple. Cute, very warm and cosy and we loved the Christmas tree. Cannot recommend them highly enough. Responsive, helpful and keen to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Great place to stay

This was our second stay at Coot Cottage. It is convenient for visits around North Norfolk which is why we like the location - plenty of options whatever the weather. Our previous stay was at the end of Covid when the cleaning regimes were very strict so it was not really surprising that a few very small issues were spotted this time. However, compared with the other holiday rentals we have used, Coot is exceptionally clean. We will come again.

Lovely location with excellent facilities

This is our 3rd stay at Cranmer. The location is good for cycling, walking and day trips, the cottages are well equipped and comfortable and we enjoyed using the pool and games room (table tennis). We had hoped to play tennis too but it didn't work out this time. We would come back with our children and grandchildren if it wasn't such a long drive from Manchester!

Excellent stay in Coot Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Coot Cottage, our only complaint is that we only had time to visit for two nights! The whole process to arrange our trip was extremely well organised, with a wealth of information sent over before our arrival. The cottage and grounds are absolutely lovely, and ideal for our two young daughters. Everything was spotlessly clean, well maintained, and the cottage had everything we needed. The pool was fantastic too. Thank you for your hospitality and we really hope to visit again soon.

Fantastic short stay at Coot Cottage

We loved our stay at Cranmer Country Cottages. Before our visit we had excellent communication with the owners and they went above and beyond to help arrange a surprise for our daughter’s birthday. The accommodation itself was finished to a high standard and wonderfully clean. We made use of the games room, swimming pool and playground during our stay, all were fantastic facilities. The location of the cottages was in easy reach of two supermarkets and a number of pubs and takeaways and we found a number of visitor attractions that our family enjoyed close by. We would definitely recommend staying in any of the cottages.

A short break

We booked Coot cottage fairly last minute. The cottage was lovely, very clean and very comfortable. The swimming pool was great and we used it every morning and evening. It’s close to beaches and NT properties. The only downside is that Fakenham has supermarkets but they’re quite small and have a limited choice so bring anything with you that is out of the very ordinary. That’s a tiny gripe and nothing to do with the cottage, go to walk on the huge, wonderful beaches and in the countryside.

Coot cottage, dog friendly

Had a lovely time in Coot, just a shame about the weather, we chose a bad week. Max loved watching the rabbits hopping about outside our door. Just as well leads were mandatory. I do have to mention the V2 Osprey aeroplanes which one could hardly ignore as they flew right overhead, several times one afternoon. Can’t be helped and not your fault! I was unsure how to use induction hob and everyone very helpful.

Enjoyed our visit at Coot Cottage

We recently stayed at Coot cottage and enjoyed our visit. The facilities available on site were good and clean. A couple of suggestions to improve Coot cottage: a thicker blind in the main bedroom to block the sun in the morning. The padlock on our gate to the courtyard/ patio area was broken and so the gate would swing open. Not ideal with young children and a road close by, so just needs a new lock added. We personally felt the place could have an update to some furnishings. For example, both rugs (one in the children's bedroom is fraying and the one in the lounge looks and feels a bit tired). However these are small things and we would book again.

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 whilst 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 friend whilst still having ones 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 Chris & Becci 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.
