How to Plan Your Group Get-Together

At Cranmer Country Cottages we are happy to help you plan your special occasion or gathering in Norfolk. We live on site and together with our team we are around most of the time to host and manage our group bookings.  We do have some stipulations for large cottage group bookings as we are predominantly a family-friendly holiday accommodation provider, it is also our home and we want everyone to have an enjoyable relaxing time whilst staying.  We are not an adult only party venue.

Our holiday accommodation is divided into 2 main areas with shared courtyards at the front and private gardens at the back of the properties.  The pool is located between the 2 areas at the centre of the site. Group bookings are strictly limited to one of these two areas off the pool to help ensure everyone enjoys their stay with us. Click Here for site plan.

Area 1: Owls Roost, Tern & Swallows Nest sleeps: 8 – 22

Area 2: Swallows Nest, the Eco Barn & Coot sleeps: 10 – 25

During peak season (school holidays except Christmas & New Year) we do not book cottages for very large groups ie: over 4 properties or over 25 guests, unless the whole site is booked by special arrangement. Group bookings are limited to the communicating and adjacent properties only – sleeping groups of 8, 10, 12, 15 22 & 25 see chart below.

Out of peak periods when there is more room to spread out, we are happy to accept larger bookings for weekend 3 – 4 night short-breaks and midweek breaks.
