North Cottage Cromer seen across its walled garden
The review we treasure most

“…relive all those wonderful memories from 1964–84 when our family owned the house…”

Wow what a week North Cottage, Cromer gave us. We managed to host two different groups, first family and then friends. The first allowed us to relive all those wonderful memories from 1964–84 when our family owned the house and was therefore the scene of every summer holiday for 20 years. Opening it up to friends for the second weekend allowed us to show them the delights of Cromer and share a very special house for some fantastic new memories. Thanks Jerry and Andrea for keeping the spirit of the house so alive for us. We will hopefully be back very soon.

9 family members stayed and we had 3 other members join us for the day and still the house didn’t feel crowded. All rooms were very clean and well decorated. We would really recommend this house with a very short walk to the beach and shops. We didn’t want to leave. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Spacious, modern and characterful house that surpassed expectations.

Absolutely loved staying here, Jerry and Andrea were super responsive and communicative; truly lovely hosts. They recommended a number of places to eat and also helped us plan a beach walking route for our group. The home itself is truly beautiful, garden areas are gorgeous, we especially loved the conservatory/garden room where our large group could actually gather together. The location is fantastic and we could walk to the beach and town centre easily. Perfect for our weekend away!

EmilyLeicesterStayed September 2025

North Cottage exceeded our expectations. It was beautifully presented and immaculate in furnishings and amenities. The garden is a delight, and Jerry’s skill with potted plants is evident throughout the house. He and Andrea were exceptional hosts and their concern for our well-being was evident from first to last, even remotely turning on the heating when the temperature dropped over the weekend.

Absolutely amazing venue run by an even more amazing couple. We went at the end of March for my 30th birthday with friends and family. The owners met us when arrived to give us a tour of the house and gave us some recommendations for what places to go and eat at. The house is much larger than the pictures give credit for. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to large groups.

We have just returned from a great week – 2 families with 6 kids under 10. This is a wonderful house, very spacious, elegantly decorated and with a huge, safe space for the kids to run around in and occupy themselves (when not at the beach). All the delights of Cromer are a couple of minutes away in one direction, as is the beach in the other. Jerry and Andrea were superb hosts, very attentive and great communicators throughout.

This house is absolutely wonderful combining big open spaces to gather and cosy spaces to sit quietly. The quality of everything in the house is top notch and you will want for nothing. The location is great with short walks to town and beach. Will be booking again.
