Weekend away with extended family

The layout of Cranmer cottages was perfect for a multi generational stay. The cottages individual back gardens backed onto a large grassed play area which was spacious and safe for the children to play on. The pool was also popular for us all to have fun in together. Communication with this company during the booking process was great. These cottages are a perfect base for exploring North Norfolk. The only constructive criticism was the radiator in our bathroom was stuck on high, which did add to the heat of an already hot weekend.
