Moonrise Cottage

About this property

Nestled within a characterful row of cottages on a quiet lane in Cromer, this cosy property is an inviting bolthole for two. With the amenities of this bustling seaside resort all around and easy access to the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this charming abode appeals to couples and solo travellers seeking relaxation and adventure. Fill your days with seaside strolls and fish and chips on the pier, then return here for lazy afternoons in the garden and evenings snuggled in the lounge.

Dating from the 1870s, this brick-and-flint cottage was built for local agricultural workers, and retains much of its original character. Entering through the former back door, you’ll instantly be charmed by its welcoming ambiance. Rustle up tasty meals in the shaker-style kitchen, before enjoying a romantic meal for two in the rear conservatory, which is flooded with natural light. A courtyard garden invites you to dine alfresco in the salty sea air, while the comfortable lounge whispers of cosy nights in. When night falls, head up the cottage-style stairs to wash away sand and sea salt in the bright and airy shower room. Then get comfy under the covers in the elegant double bedroom.

Enjoy morning strolls along Cromer’s Grade II-listed pier, stopping to peer in the lifeboat station at the end, and amble along the prom, pausing to admire the colourful beach huts. If you’re feeling active learn to surf at the local surf school, or strike out along the Norfolk Coast Path. It’s a lovely walk to neighbouring Sheringham (4.2 miles) where you can pick up the Poppy Line steam train to the Georgian market town of Holt or explore Sheringham Park.
