Self-catering cottage holidays are a fantastic way of exploring a new and exciting area whilst at the same time enjoying home comforts with friends and family. There are so many different kinds of accommodation available to rent in the UK that you will be spoilt for choice, but you can tailor your trip to suit your needs. If you are coming with your partner, opting for a luxury and secluded cottage with features such as a private hot tub might be on your wish list and will certainly ensure that your break will be one to remember. You might be visiting the whole family and need a large, sprawling property with a swimming pool and garden close by to a sandy beach, and there are plenty of these available to rent. Once you’ve decided on your accommodation, next is choosing where exactly to stay, and Caister-on-Sea in Norfolk is a popular choice for if you’re looking for a seaside break.
Caister-on-Sea is a charming village on the coast, just four miles north from the bustling resort of Great Yarmouth. Its sandy shores are a delight for those wanting a relaxing and fun seaside holiday as it is set on what’s known as the Golden Mile stretch of beach in Norfolk. If you and your loved ones are looking to enjoy unspoilt sands and swim in the sea on warmer days, yet wish to get away from large crowds, then renting self-catering accommodation in Caister-on-Sea might be ideal for you.
As well as plenty of cottages and other accommodation available to rent in this lovely village, Caister-on-Sea also has lots of other amenities to enjoy. There are a selection of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, plus some supermarkets and minimarkets for when you opt to buy your own food to cook in the comfort of your cottage. Another main attraction of the village is the ruins of the 15th century Caister Castle which is home to a brilliant Classic Car Collection, possibly the largest private collection of motor vehicles in the UK. The castle itself is also worth a visit as it is home to an impressive 100ft tower.
If you decide to be based in Caister-on-Sea, you can decide to visit the much larger Great Yarmouth on day trips to enjoy its theme park and thriving atmosphere, but coming home to your quieter village is ideal if you prefer to stay away from crowds. You can also choose to visit other nearby attractions in Norfolk such as The Broads National Park, where you can hire a boat or go birdwatching, or you might wish to visit the city of Norwich which makes a nice day out from the coast and is a picturesque cathedral city with cobbled streets and medieval lanes.
Caister-on-Sea is a stunning seaside village that makes for a great choice of destination for a self-catering holiday. If you want to visit the Norfolk coast and have plenty to see and do, along with a sandy beach, but also have a bit of peace and quiet too, then it is perfect.
