Luxury Norfolk Cottages With Pool
Our Luxury Norfolk cottages with pool provide our guests exclusive access to a superb indoor heated swimming pool. This luxury amenity is a highlight for families seeking a self-catering cottage with a private indoor pool in the UK, ensuring children are entertained come rain or shine. Open year-round, our indoor pool is larger than most holiday cottages with pools in Norfolk. The pool is 13 meters long and over 4 meters wide, perfect for morning laps or family fun. Its shallow depth is ideal for beginners or those using the pool for rehabilitation exercises and helping nervous swimmers gain confidence.
After a busy day exploring the local north Norfolk area, a dip in the swimming pool is the perfect way to end the day!
The swimming pool has been designed especially with families in mind. Low, wide steps offer safe, controlled entry to the water in the shallow end. The pool water is treated with salt, which is kinder to the skin than chlorine!
Our holiday cottage guests have daily use of the private swimming pool. The pool is available for a combination of exclusive private 1 hour swimming sessions where you can enjoy the indoor pool and changing rooms all to yourself, alongside daily open timetabled shared swims available at the start and end of each day. Out of season, when we are not fully booked, we can offer additional flexible swim sessions. Guests staying in our larger self-catering holiday cottages sleeping 8,10 & 12 guests have an allocated private swim session daily. See our swimming pool timetable HERE.
Child friendly swimming pool
Our pool is ideal for keeping fit on holiday and teaching toddlers to swim in a calm and peaceful environment. Thanks to our managed timetable, finding some quiet time in the pool, whether early in the morning or during a private swim session, is always possible
Our indoor heated swimming pool has been designed to suit all ages and all levels of swimming ability. The pool has a deck level water line, and is heated to a comfortable 29.5 degrees. The wide, shallow steps and handrail provide easy access to the water for nervous swimmers and people who are less mobile. The pool has a maximum depth of 1.2 meters, air & water quality is carefully managed and the pool hall is fitted with an integrated climate control system.
Our pool is ideal for gentle exercise & rehabilitation
The shallow heated pool is excellent for rehabilitation after an injury or joint operation. The shallow depth means it is possible to walk up and down the length of the pool. Walking in water relieves pressure and weight from the body and is often a great way to begin rehabilitation.
The integrated jet stream can provide added resistance for swimming and exercise. If you require additional pool use for regular rehabilitation exercises during your stay, please speak to us, and we will look to make special arrangements for you. We can only do this outside of the school holidays.

We had a lovely time at Cranmer. Customer service is amazing and we treasured the swimming pool and game rooms.
The onsite facilities of a games room, swimming pool and large (secure) field out the back were brilliant for the kids to play on (as well as the play equipment). The swimming pool was huge, clean, and it is a novelty to have it to yourselves
We had a wonderful stay! Very comfortable and clean house, and fantastic play area right outside the back door. We really enjoyed the private use of the excellent swimming pool. The games room was also very welcome on rainy days.
We very much enjoyed our stay in the lovely warm surroundings of Woodpecker Cottage. Heated pool absolute bliss for early morning swims with the added bonus of splendid views of extensive countryside through those huge windows. Thanks for a wonderful stay, we will be back soon.
Lovely pool with jet stream, great child’s activity room, fantastic tennis court and even a safe kids outdoor play area. Great home from home accommodation.
We have just returned from a fabulous weeks cycling based at Cranmer Country Cottages in North Norfolk from which we cycled over 300 miles on the some of the best English lanes you could hope to find. As club cyclists who have enjoyed lots of Great Britain and Europe on a bike we think Norfolk is a real gem.
The play area out the back was ideal and the tennis courts and games rooms provided entertainment for children from 2 years up to 15, plus the adults too! Swimming pool was icing on the cake.
The two cottages were booked as a surprise for my 60th birthday, and what a surprise. I could not have hoped for a more fantastic celebration. We all enjoyed a brisk walk in Wells-next-the Sea, lunch in a local pub followed by a swim in the great pool here. The cottages are so well equipped, everything has been well thought out. I would recommend the cottages to any group wanting something special! Very relaxing time had by all.
Swimming pool was fabulous , games room brilliant and were greeted on a very wet dark night with a very happy and smiling host. Truly recommend this farm to stay at , close to Wells next to sea , Holkham Hall and other coastal areas. We will definitely be returning.
