A lovely location for a family holiday.
This was a lovely location for the Easter holidays. There is plenty to do in the area and the resort offered lots of safe outdoor space for children to play in. The indoor pool was very well maintained and the individual time slots was perfect, for first time swimmers. There was also the added interest of the airbase nearby, the deer , birds and we were lucky enough to see baby bunnies.

A fabulous long weekend
We were lucky enough to spend a long weekend in Avocet and it was the tonic we didn't realise we needed. We arrived late at night in the pitch black and rain to a warm and welcoming cottage, the lights had been turned on in advance and it was very much appreciated. The cottage was absolutely beautiful and in a wonderful location. Many hours were spent just watching the world go by and exclaiming about the size of the bunnies (they were huge). The facilities on site were fantastic, especially the pool. Our boys loved the games room and it certainly was more than enough for them (they're 6 and 3). We will definitely be back!

A lovely peaceful place to stay
The cottage was spacious, well equipped, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed using the indoor swimming pool, games room and tennis courts which were on site. There did seem to be a slight overload of rules and reminders, but we did have a really lovely time, and the location was ideal for trips out to the north Norfolk coast.

Great break
We had the best time staying at Cranmer Cottages for a multi generational family birthday.
Everything we required was in the cottage.
It was very clean, comfortable and well designed.
The swimming pool and games room were fantastic for our family as was the secure and safe field fir the children to play in.

Great location in well designed cottages
We had an intergenerational family holiday using three of the cottages. The location is perfect for visiting the North Norfolk beaches and the beautiful villages.
The digital information packs were informative although a tad excessive.
The pool was great and the timetable very well thought out so there were plenty of opportunities to swim either as exclusively or with others.
Our main issue was that although advertised as dog friendly, it’s really just about dog tolerant. Our family dog is very well trained and hypoallergenic but was only allowed in the smallest of the cottages and not on the grounds, even on a lead. This constrained us somewhat.
But definitely highly recommended as a family holiday stay.
