Cromer is dominated by its parish church - thought to be the tallest in Norfolk - the town of Cromer stands atop a cliff overlooking wide clean beaches and the Victorian pier both of which provide the panoramic views from The White Cottage. The town is famous for its crabs and fishing boats which still work off the beach below The White Cottage bringing fresh catches ashore. In addition to its fine seafood, Cromer has a variety of restaurants; all tastes are catered for from traditional English fare to Chinese and Indian Tandoori.

There are miles of quiet lanes, sandy beaches and spectacular cliff top walks accessible from The White Cottage. Bicycles can be hired locally.

In the summer months the Pavilion Theatre is host to the renowned Seaside Special, the only remaining traditional end-of-the-pier show in the country. In August Cromer is at its liveliest especially, between the 16th and the 22nd, during the Carnival week with the famous Red Arrows performing on Carnival Day and the procession in the evening which is growing in reputation.

In the summer months we are lucky enough to see the sun both rise (if you get up early) and set over the sea, a rare site in the UK.

If you do not know the area, we have a library of books you may borrow during your stay; you will probably become addicted to North Norfolk like so many others .Jane Austin wrote in Emma,"you should have gone to Cromer, my dear, if you went any where - Perry was a week at Cromer once and he holds it to be the best of all sea bathing places. A fine open sea, he says and very pure air"
