SPECIAL FACILITIES
luxury indoor heated pool
Our luxury indoor heated pool provides ideal therapy for joint pain or injury recovery & recuperation. The wide shallow steps and adjacent hand rail make entry to the water more manageable if mobility is restricted.
Water Walking therapy: The pool is shallow enough to walk from one end to the other using the water as gentle resistance. Water walking is a low-impact cardio exercise. This means it’s gentler on your bones and joints, making it a safer exercise option for people who have conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, or fibromyalgia.
The salt-dosed indoor heated swimming pool is accessed via courtyard 2. There is an access ramp to the door with a 20cm threshold to the entrance lobby. There is a large private changing room with shower and WC (we can provide (grab rails) and also a communal space with 4 changing cubicles and locker storage.
The pool is a continental deck level design with long shallow steps with a handrail leading to the shallow end.
All guests have private allocated swim times during their stay. However, if you are booked to stay for a midweek break out of season or if we are not fully booked we can arrange additional private swim slots for water therapy.
Pool water temperature is 29 – 30 degrees – Please note: it is not a hydrotherapy pool.

Lovely cottage and fantastic facilities for the children (aged 3 + 5)
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.
We have just been here for three nights but so wish we were able to stay a week! Thank you so much and we wish you every success with this venture which is truly excellent
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.
Probably the coldest week in the last 12 months; ice, snow and very cold! Nevertheless we had a good time. It was always lovely to return to the warm welcoming cottage. We experimented by cooking with the Rayburn - great fun and good results. Try it!
An excellent example of how a luxurious accommodation can attempt to be carbon neutral
First Class Accommodation - highly recommended. We have stayed in 3 properties and would not hesitate in recommended them. We take our 2 small children (under 4) and often take my mother-in-law (for babysitting) and we particularly like in heated, indoor, salt water pool and huge fenced off play area which each property backs onto. Compared with other accommodation we have staying in, these are the best by a long shot.
Another excellent stay at Cranmer that even Covid could not spoil!
Came across this hidden gem by accident and would like to keep it our secret ! However so pleased they are doing well. A lot of care and detail has gone into the renovation of these barns including a fab swimming pool and an essential games room for kids.
