Lived up to and surpassed every single expectation. Love the way the property has been restored, and presented. The attention to detail and history added extra enjoyment. You have to go to Rocky Bottoms crab restaurant and also the obvious upstairs and No1.Can also highly recommend breakfast at whitewater, just on the seafront around the corner.

Such a special place to stay

We absolutely loved our stay at The Old Sunday School and Vestry, such a special place. We instantly felt right at home and loved the quirky decor. It was so lovely be so close to the sea, not far to walk back after sea swims and long walks along the beach. The little park was so convenient for toilet trips for the pooch and well lit in the middle of the night! Location is so convenient for the town and we easily found somewhere to park not too far from the accommodation. Norfolk is so dog friendly, we didn’t encounter one place which didn’t welcome dogs. Thank you for allowing us to stay, it was truly magical and we will definitely be booking another stay for in the future. Nothing.

We loved Cromer and the property was well situated for the pier and the superb beaches.

Eccentric but imaginatively furnished and well-stocked property. The agency didn't make clear in their instructions how to get into the property so after a 4 hour drive we were forced to ring the owners who happened to be away. Make sure you have clear instructions from the agency about how to access the lock box. Be aware that the property has no wifi.
