Self-catering holidays can be tailored to suit whatever you need on a break like this. If you are celebrating a special anniversary or occasion with your partner, then you can opt for a romantic and secluded cottage with special features such as Jacuzzi baths. If you are coming with the whole family, and that includes the dog, then you might want to think about renting a large house with amenities such as a private garden or even a swimming pool. There are holiday homes in villages and towns with plenty to do in the area, plus some in quieter parts of the countryside where you can have complete peace and quiet. If you are after a coastal break in a friendly village, then Northrepps, just 3 miles south of Cromer in Norfolk, might be a good choice for you and your family.
When you arrive at your holiday home in Norfolk, expect to find beds made, towels provided in bathrooms and often a welcome gift of local food in the kitchen. Most cottages provide a starter pack of essential items such as tea, coffee, sugar, milk and toilet paper. Some provide much more so it is a case of checking what there is. After arrival, self-catering means that your essentially have accommodation only and need to buy everything else.
The village of Northrepps is fairly small with the essential pub but not that many other amenities, however, the town of Cromer with shops is just a 3 miles drive away on the coast and it is highly likely that you would be paying a visit there during your holiday.
Northrepps is located in the northern coast of the county of Norfolk and is home to fewer than 1000 residents. It is home to a 15th century parish church, a village hall and a cosy pub with a dining room and games room. On colder nights, there is a burning log fire in the pub, and during the warmer months, visitors can enjoy afternoon tea on the weekend. If choosing to rent accommodation in this settlement, then you will probably find yourself making friends with the locals in this pub in the evenings!
Northrepps is close to the coast, and there are many beautiful coastal and country walks that can be taken in the area if you are coming to Norfolk to soak up some fresh country air. If you enjoy a bit of culture and history as well, then the National Trust property of Felbrigg Hall, Gardens and Estate is just a ten-minute drive away from the village and is certainly worth the day trip. This stunning estate is home to a walled garden, 520 acres of woodland with buggy-friendly trails, and of course, an impressive country house featuring a great hall, drawing room, Gothic library and other rooms to explore.
For other day trips from Northrepps, you might want to visit Cromer, less than four miles from the village. Cromer is a seaside resort that is loved by families and is home to museums, a pier and a striking sandy beach. If you are visiting the area with children then they will have lots of fun here, but there is also a lot to do for the adults too! Once everyone builds up an appetite, you can head back to your holiday cottage in Northrepps for meals and drinks, thus saving on eating out.
Northrepps is home to lots of self-catering accommodation that is perfect to rent for a holiday in Norfolk. Your holiday home will come to feel like a home away from home, and you can cook your own meals to enjoy with a good film in the evenings and have much more space than a hotel room can offer. If you want to be in a quiet and friendly area but also close to some attractions and the seaside, then consider Northrepps.
