Great location for exploring North Norfolk.
Coot Cottage had everything that we needed, so 5 star rating.
Enjoyed having the Games Room on site.
Our grand-children and their parents stating in other cottages really enjoyed the Swimming Pool on site.
The volume of instructions was overwhelming compared to other holiday cottages where we have stayed, but we managed to understand everything.

Perfect location
We chose coot as an overflow extension to our families party in the Eco Barn. It was ideal for us as Grandparents as it gave us a quiet escape whilst being very close to the wider family. The location is superb as is the space for the children to play and the excellent swimming pool. This was our third visit and I am sure we will be back.

Coot Cottage in September
Our twelfth stay in coot (first in 2012) excellent cottage, very comfortable for the two of us. The location of Cranmer is perfect for cycling (complete with a secure bike store).whilst the country lanes and by-roads offer almost traffic free routes. Wildlife is always around and the in house activity room and swimming pool are available should the weather be poor. Already booked twice fior 2026

Love Coot Cottage
Having stayed at Cranmer Cottages before we always knew it would be another lovely stay. We stayed in Coot cottage and again we were not disappointed. Perfect for a couple. Cute, very warm and cosy and we loved the Christmas tree. Cannot recommend them highly enough. Responsive, helpful and keen to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Lovely location with excellent facilities
This is our 3rd stay at Cranmer. The location is good for cycling, walking and day trips, the cottages are well equipped and comfortable and we enjoyed using the pool and games room (table tennis). We had hoped to play tennis too but it didn't work out this time. We would come back with our children and grandchildren if it wasn't such a long drive from Manchester!

Great place to stay
This was our second stay at Coot Cottage. It is convenient for visits around North Norfolk which is why we like the location - plenty of options whatever the weather. Our previous stay was at the end of Covid when the cleaning regimes were very strict so it was not really surprising that a few very small issues were spotted this time. However, compared with the other holiday rentals we have used, Coot is exceptionally clean. We will come again.

Excellent stay in Coot Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at Coot Cottage, our only complaint is that we only had time to visit for two nights! The whole process to arrange our trip was extremely well organised, with a wealth of information sent over before our arrival. The cottage and grounds are absolutely lovely, and ideal for our two young daughters. Everything was spotlessly clean, well maintained, and the cottage had everything we needed. The pool was fantastic too. Thank you for your hospitality and we really hope to visit again soon.

Fantastic short stay at Coot Cottage
We loved our stay at Cranmer Country Cottages. Before our visit we had excellent communication with the owners and they went above and beyond to help arrange a surprise for our daughter’s birthday. The accommodation itself was finished to a high standard and wonderfully clean. We made use of the games room, swimming pool and playground during our stay, all were fantastic facilities. The location of the cottages was in easy reach of two supermarkets and a number of pubs and takeaways and we found a number of visitor attractions that our family enjoyed close by. We would definitely recommend staying in any of the cottages.

A short break
We booked Coot cottage fairly last minute. The cottage was lovely, very clean and very comfortable. The swimming pool was great and we used it every morning and evening. It’s close to beaches and NT properties. The only downside is that Fakenham has supermarkets but they’re quite small and have a limited choice so bring anything with you that is out of the very ordinary. That’s a tiny gripe and nothing to do with the cottage, go to walk on the huge, wonderful beaches and in the countryside.

Coot cottage, dog friendly
Had a lovely time in Coot, just a shame about the weather, we chose a bad week.
Max loved watching the rabbits hopping about outside our door. Just as well leads were mandatory.
I do have to mention the V2 Osprey aeroplanes which one could hardly ignore as they flew right overhead, several times one afternoon. Can’t be helped and not your fault!
I was unsure how to use induction hob and everyone very helpful.

Enjoyed our visit at Coot Cottage
We recently stayed at Coot cottage and enjoyed our visit.
The facilities available on site were good and clean.
A couple of suggestions to improve Coot cottage: a thicker blind in the main bedroom to block the sun in the morning.
The padlock on our gate to the courtyard/ patio area was broken and so the gate would swing open. Not ideal with young children and a road close by, so just needs a new lock added.
We personally felt the place could have an update to some furnishings. For example, both rugs (one in the children's bedroom is fraying and the one in the lounge looks and feels a bit tired).
However these are small things and we would book again.

Very nice say overall
Coot was very comfortable and well equipped. The site itself was great with the pool and games room, onsite parking, EV charger and a good location close to everywhere. The aspect that we would change would be the amount of rules, including the sheer overload of emails prior to arrival, plus the overwhelming documentation, different folders of rules etc. It got quite confusing at times trying to locate something simple, such as how to work the thermostat and I ended up texting the owner - but then sifting through 7 pages of rules about the swimming pool, the majority of which were common sense. I think this should be trimmed down as it took away the relaxation element of the holiday.

A great base to explore the North Norfolk coast
We had a lovely stay at Coot over the May bank holiday, when the sun came out and we were able to explore many of the beautiful beaches and attractions of the area. Things we loved: the quiet pool was perfect for our kids, the location was great, in between many great attractions, the kitchen was well supplied, parking was convenient and the wild bunnies outside were very sweet. Things we didn't love: we had issues with the water pressure and temperature during our stay. At one point it turned off completely and as there is very little phone reception, we couldn't get through to the owners. One of our neighbouring guests managed to alert them to the issue and it was resolved very quickly though. We didn't seem to get the knack of the shower temperature though, so it was too hot for our children.
