• Food & Drink

Take the hassle out of arriving somewhere new with a hungry family to feed by pre-ordering all you need for dinner, breakfast, barbeque or even a picnic hamper. We work with a number of excellent local suppliers who use the best of Norfolk ingredients and who can deliver food orders to our door ready for your arrival or for you to pick up during your stay.

Alternatively if you have booked your self catering holiday with us for the freedom and space it offers but have no intention of cooking take a look at our local Norfolk catering suppliers list.

Catering for guests

When making your booking online you can order a traditional English Breakfast or barbeque supplied by our fab local Norfolk butcher – Papworth in Fakenham. Their locally sourced Norfolk produce is reared on their own Norfolk Farms.  www.papworthbutchers.co.uk

For arrival meals we offer a small seasonal selection of main courses from our Norfolk Kitchens which can be ordered in advance of your stay (Min 2 weeks’ notice. Please let us know if you require meals to be defrosted for your arrival.)

Supermarket Deliveries

Tesco, Sainsbury’s & Waitrose all deliver to our properties. Please ensure that you are here to check your delivery and stow it away as we are unable to check in deliveries on our guests behalf. Please let them know the name of the cottage when you book.

Walsingham Farms Shop

(within 5 miles of Cranmer)

Freshly prepared dishes and a host of other Norfolk goodies are available from our local Walsingham Farms Shop. Why not book a Norfolk Picnic Hamper for collection  or delivery during your stay.  www.walsighamfarmsshop.co.uk

Artisan Goodies

Jennifer Renshaw makes our welcome cakes using her own homemade jam, eggs from her own hens and lots of love. She also sells her homemade jams and preserves as well as her cakes online. If you are interested in buying any for your holiday please email us and we will organise.

  • We have just returned from a fabulous weeks cycling based at Cranmer Country Cottages in North Norfolk from which we cycled over 300 miles on the some of the best English lanes you could hope to find. As club cyclists who have enjoyed lots of Great Britain and Europe on a bike we think Norfolk is a real gem.

  • The two cottages were booked as a surprise for my 60th birthday, and what a surprise. I could not have hoped for a more fantastic celebration. We all enjoyed a brisk walk in Wells-next-the Sea, lunch in a local pub followed by a swim in the great pool here. The cottages are so well equipped, everything has been well thought out. I would recommend the cottages to any group wanting something special! Very relaxing time had by all.

  • We very much enjoyed our stay in the lovely warm surroundings of Woodpecker Cottage. Heated pool absolute bliss for early morning swims with the added bonus of splendid views of extensive countryside through those huge windows. Thanks for a wonderful stay, we will be back soon.

  • First Class Accommodation – highly recommended. We have stayed in 3 properties and would not hesitate in recommended them. We take our 2 small children (under 4) and often take my mother-in-law (for babysitting) and we particularly like in heated, indoor, salt water pool and huge fenced off play area which each property backs onto. Compared with other accommodation we have staying in, these are the best by a long shot.
