GROUP ACCOMMODATION

Group Bookings for the Holiday Cottages

Cranmer Country cottages provide a perfect venue for group accommodation appealing to groups of friends or family groups for reunions and celebrations, either for long weekends or week long off season breaks.

The cottages’ flexible accommodation with their large comfortable open plan living areas provide ideal meeting points where friends can cook eat and socialise together whilst sleeping arrangements are in individual private cottages. For many a group weekend away provides time to catch up with old friends or an opportunity to celebrate a special occasion in a relaxing environment with plenty of space for children to enjoy and parents to unwind.

Holiday Cottage ChristmasDuring Christmas and New Year the cottages are decorated with Christmas trees and lights for a truly festive atmosphere. Organic Norfolk bronze or black turkeys can be supplied by local producers directly to your cottage and other gastronomic delights can be ordered ahead from specialist shops locally in Burnham Market or Wells. At other times of the year exhilarating nearby beach walks followed by a dip in the pool can provide a luxurious weekend break.

• The swimming pool is great fun for both children and adults alike and is open daily from 7.30am in the morning. The games room provides opportunity for fun table tennis, darts or pool competitions; we provide a lockable bike store for cycling enthusiasts, alternatively cycles can be hired from Huff and puff in nearby Wells. Huff and Puff can also organise special group cycle rides locally www.cyclenorfolk.co.uk. From summer 2006 we should have 2 hard tennis courts available for tennis tournaments (TBC).
