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.

The facilities well thought through and easy to use. It was great being able to have dinner outside and watch the children play on the playground. We will definitely be returning.
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.
We had the most wonderful stay at Cranmer Cottages. Set in the most stunning location with rolling countryside it really was a little slice of heaven. We will definitely be returning for another stay in the near future. Thank you all very much.
We booked Garden House, Avocet & Woodpecker for a surprise birthday party for my son. It was such a brilliant weekend and I would like to thank you for recommending Susi; she was marvellous and the food was perfect. Hope to return to Cranmer Cottages in the near future and would thoroughly recommend them to everyone.
If you are looking for a luxury, family stay in North Norfolk, this is it. If you are looking for a luxury, ecologically aware family stay this is it too. A fabulous holiday with a green conscience, if you will......
Our first winter stay and it was even better than we had hoped for! A beautiful place to relax in comfort, fill your lungs with fresh air and spend some time with the most hospitable owners, Lynne and John, who have become friends over the eight years we have been visiting. Thank you.
A wonderful week with plenty of memories - and amazingly enough, no rain, even some sunshine. Completely sold on Norfolk and this place - have no doubts we will be back.
Self-catering just got a seriously stylish upgrade
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.
