Just metres from the sea, this bright and cheery, newly-renovated traditional fisherman’s cottage, nestles right behind John Lee’s crab stall in the very heart of Cromer Old Town, perfect for families who want to be as close to the beach as possible, couples who want to stretch their legs walking the Cromer clifftops, or individuals who want a cozy hideaway that is still in the middle of town life, this cottage has a rich history in the fishing town of Cromer.
Walking up the alleyway past the crab stall, you have a rare glimpse into the traditional fisherman’s trade and you can buy your crabs from the hand that hauled them that very morning.
Go through the front door straight into the inviting front room with a woodburning stove alongside a large sofa and comfortable chairs, where you can relax after a day out on the beach.
A brand-new kitchen and bathroom (downstairs) have everything you need, a good-sized shower, induction hob, dishwasher, with washing machine and dryer in the outdoor shed.
