Christmas at Cranmer

Christmas at Cranmer is one of out most favourite times of the year. We thrive on the vibe and excitement that families bring when they stay and it's something we look forward to when the winter months start to creep up on us. 

If you've considered getting away over the festive period but haven't quite made up your mind whether to do so or not, here's a few reasons why you should spend your Christmas with us:

1) Home from Home


Our cottages are family friendly and give a warm and friendly feel that makes you feel instantly at home. Over the festive period, all of our cottages are trimmed with Christmas trees and other decorations to give you that truly festive feel.

2) Lots of Space 

Each cottage has been designed with an open plan living space which is perfect for families who want to enjoy time together. We also have cottages with inter-connecting doors, meaning we can accommodate groups of up to 12 people. In addition to this, our fantastic Green Room is available to hire if you are in need of a large dining space to get everyone around a table for a Christmas Day feast!

3) The Great Outdoors! 

North Norfolk is famous for big skies, beautiful countryside and a rugged coastline, and on a cold winter's day there's nothing more invigorating than a brisk walk and a good blast of fresh air. Seeing as we all have a tendency to over indulge in rich foods over the festive period a good walk is the perfect tonic to pep you up. Our heated indoor pool is always a very warm and welcoming retreat if you are the kind of person who isn’t keen on braving the elements!

4) Festive Activities

From early December the area becomes a hive of festive activity with lots of events and things to do. There are festive markets to browse around, the Christmas spectacular at Thursford is always popular as is the special Santa steam train trips. The local panto in Norwich is fun for a day out, plus there are plenty of places for children to meet Father Christmas too.

5) Festive Feasts

There are a large number of local food suppliers in the area to help you create the ultimate Christmas gourmet experience. Order yourself a famous Norfolk Black or Bronze Turkey for your Christmas Dinner and try out a variety of local cheeses, our favourite being Mrs Temple's Binham Blue. We are lucky to have a number of local farm shops which stock an array of other local delights including the famous Bray's Cottage Pork Pies, Gnaw Chocolate and the very delectable Norfolk Cordial. 

Alternatively, if you'd prefer not to slave over a hot stove on Christmas Day, there are plenty of local pubs and restaurants you can book instead, or, we can help you organise caterers who can do the cooking for you in the comfort of your own cottage. 

Whatever your needs are, we can help you arrange a very memorable Christmas away from home.
