Hello & welcome. We moved from London to north Norfolk nearly 25 years ago. We were already sailing at beautiful Burnham Overy Staithe on the North Norfolk Coast and John’s connections with the area went back over several generations. We loved the area so much as weekenders that we decided to escape city life and move here permanently. We have been welcoming guests to holiday cottages in this special corner of north Norfolk since 2000. Over the years we have developed the former dairy farm barns into a thriving & sustainable family friendly accommodation business. It makes everything worthwhile to hear the distant laughter of children at play in the gardens on a summers evening as parents relax and little ones make new friends. No wonder many of our guests return again and again.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cranmer!
What We Love About Norfolk….
Big skies, unspoilt coast and open countryside, cycling & walking. We have a shared passion for boating and swimming in the sea; Norfolk really comes alive for us from April once the sailing season begins. Swimming through the creeks at Burnham Overy Staithe with the tide is great for the soul and sense of wellbeing. We also love to explore the wide-open sandy beaches, tidal creeks and sultry marshland walks in the winter months. We were not birdwatchers before we settled here but with all of our hedgerow and tree planting, we are continuing to notice a myriad of new visitors to the fields and gardens.
Located in rural Farmland in working countryside
At home Farm Cranmer we offer the opportunity for a luxury farm stay in an unspoilt tranquil rural location close to North Norfolk’s Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Our Green Story
From the very beginning in developing our Cranmer Country Cottages holiday business, we set out to create a high-quality sustainable selfcatering accommodation business. whilst working with nature, engaging with our local community and preserving this special environment for the long- term enjoyment of future generations.
We had a brilliant holiday - thanks for providing us with everything we needed.
If you're looking for a luxury, family stay in North Norfolk, this is it. If you're looking for a luxury, ecologically aware family stay, this is it too.
A lovely stay. We throughly enjoyed the cottage and facilities. We didn’t need for anything as it was all provided.
Another great Christmas in Tern, Swallow and Woodpecker Cottages. All very welcoming, warm and comfortable - everything we could need. Our Christmas dinner cooked in the Rayburn. All fantastic yet again!
Our family love visiting Cranmer Country Cottages and we have returned for the past 4 years. We all feel like its 'home from home' and are always made to feel so welcome by the wonderful staff. The children particularly love the yummy handmade chocolates on arrival and they are so excited to jump straight in the pool after our long journey from Hampshire. It is so worth the drive! It is brilliantly located for fantastic family days out and long strolls on amazing beaches. We have so many lovely memories
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.
Self-catering just got a seriously stylish upgrade
The cottage was immaculate and the on site facilities including the swimming pool, games room and the vast outdoor space were an added bonus. The surrounding area was beautiful and we managed to see so much of Norfolk in such a short space of time. The owners were extremely helpful and ensured we had everything we needed.Barbara
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.
