Cranmer Country Cottages offer the perfect place to stay for relaxing Easter breaks in Norfolk. The run up to Easter is such an exciting time when Spring finally arrives after the winter darkness and short days. Daffodils scatter around the countryside, and glow like little rays of sunshine that offer promise that warmer weather and lighter evenings are on their way.
North Norfolk is definitely wakes up for start of the holiday season and with Easter family holidays just around the corner, we always look forward to welcoming new and returning visitors to the area.
If you are still looking for an Easter holiday in Norfolk with family during the school holidays or simply an Easter weekend break in Norfolk , then look no further! Our family friendly cottages are situated in the tranquil countryside, but are only a short drive away from the coast. There are lots of Easter themed activities taking place in the area with plenty of other things to enjoy as a family during your stay too.
Below we’ve put together some suggested family friendly things to do over the Easter holidays and for some more ideas on what you can do during your stay, read our A to Z guide of things to do in Norfolk too.
You may even want to set up your own Easter Egg hunt within the grounds of our cottages. Nikki & Kristen will be delighted to help you with that – we can even supply a complete Cranmer Country Cottages Easter Egg Hunt kit!

Easter Eggs Hunts
The Easter Egg Hunt tradition is a great way to get the kids into the fresh air, exploring some of Norfolk’s most beautiful parks and nature reserves, all motivated by that chocolatey award at the end of course.
Take a special Easter Egg hunt at one of the locations on our What’s On list and you may even be in with a chance of winning an Easter Egg!
Crabbing
Grab yourself a line, bucket and some bait (crabs seem to love bacon!) and see how many crabs you can catch from Well’s Harbour.
There are also great crabbing opportunities at nearby Blakeney, Sheringham, West Runton and Cromer.
Geocaching
If you’ve not heard of Geocaching, it’s a worldwide, real life treasure hunting game. All you need to play is a GPS device i.e. a smart phone.
Geocache has it’s own app which is available to download and from there you can search for caches near to you which you can then track down. Other than purchasing the app, it is free to do and gives families the opportunity to spend time together enjoying the great outdoors
