Holiday in Swallow

We enjoyed a week in late August at Cranmer Country Cottages, staying in Swallow cottage. Our Grandchildren loved the swimming pool and play paddock. We found the staff to be very approachable and extremely helpful. We would hope to stay again next year.

Lovely summer family stay

Cranmer cottages are a lovely place for a family holiday

Cranmer cottages are a lovely place for a family holiday, there is plenty to do both at the cottages and in the surrounding countryside. The cottages are clean, attractive, well equipped and have a light and airy feel. Having a manned office on site in working hours was areal bonus.

Perfect family stay

Beautiful cottage just as I’d hoped, perfect for our family. Well equipped, everything we needed for our stay. Beautiful outlook - would love to come back for longer in the summer months to make the most of it. The children loved the games room and the swimming pool, and the private swimming hour was perfect. Ideal location for exploring the beautiful Norfolk coastline. We will definitely be looking to return in the near future.

Last minute booking

As always Cranmer delivered on all fronts. Cottage lovely, location beautiful. Peaceful and the open space that Norfolk is famous for. Us and our family have been using Cranmer for 12 years now and always have wonderful holidays.

Peaceful, sociable cottage, excellent facilities

We stayed at Swallow cottage as a last getaway before Christmas. We had previously stayed in End Cottage. Swallow was perfect for us, being open plan, we were able to socialise all together whether cooking or in the lounge area. The cottage itself provided all home comforts and excellent facilities. The bonus is the use of the pool, of which we were able to book extra swims due to availability. There is a games room too, which was perfect for my son to play in, with the use of a badminton table and pool table, as well as a book corner and play area for younger children. The team at Cramer Cottages were super accommodating and kept in touch pre-during and post booking. Will definitely stay again. Thank you

A lovely stay in a beautiful cottage

We booked Swallow Cottage on a last minute deal. I was a little worried about going in a complex with a number of other properties but it suited our needs for a long weekend visit to see family. I needn’t have worried. Despite nearly full occupancy, the site was so quiet and we were barely aware of any other guests. The swimming pool is lovely and such a rare treat. As we had only booked a short stay, we only had one private pool slot but the ‘open’ slots were deserted so managed a lovely quiet swim each day. The cottage itself was beautifully equipped with quality products and a nice mix of modern and vintage decoration. It was very comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly before booking and when we arrived. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

A lovely 14th stay!

As the title suggests we are big fans of Cranmer cottages returning every year and sometimes twice. Our children refuse to go anywhere else for October half term. Swallow is our favourite cottage as we get to enjoy having a real fire which we don’t get to do in London and the amenities are so useful especially when the October weather can be unpredictable. The games room and pool get a lot of use in the rain and pool was visited every day! Close to lots of great places to visit like Holkham Hall, Wells next to the sea etc. also great Pubs like the Crown at East Rudham and the Sculthorpe Mill. Sometimes as with any place there can be things that don’t work or need attention but Lynne,John, Nikki and team are always on hand to fix them quickly and sort out any issues so that you barely even notice they happened. We highly recommend them and their eco credentials are impeccable so you can feel extra good about your visit! See you next year!

Swallow Cottage Stay

Fantastic stay in Swallow Cottage! Clean, had lovely furnishings, and well equipped with everything we needed - particularly the kitchen. Our entire family absolutely loved the pool, which was always spotless and perfect temperature. My son looked forward to swimming in the bubbles (the water jet) at each swim session! Outdoor area was great as well, as we could sit on the patio and see our son playing on the swings and slide from afar. We all enjoyed watching the rabbits come out in the evening. Games/play room also excellent with lots of books, dvds, and toys. Parking was plentiful and the courtyard, although shared by many others guests, was generally very quiet. We liked seeing the chickens peeking through the owner's gate in the mornings. Very quiet location with lots of wildlife to observe, but very near to plenty of things to see and do. Our favourites were the adventure park at Thursford, Wells beach, and eating burgers in a meadow at Fat Cow. Would definitely return to Cranmer Cottages again!
