Cedar Lodge, Cromer

Cedar Lodge is a five-bedroom detached coastal property in Overstrand, North Norfolk, sleeping up to eight guests. Just 150 yards from the beach, this is a solid choice for a group wanting direct coastal access. The open-plan kitchen and dining room opens through large doors into the living room, making it genuinely sociable. A wood-burning stove adds warmth on cooler evenings.

Overstrand sits on the North Norfolk coast between Cromer and Mundesley. It's a quiet village with a proper beach, a pub 350 yards away and easy access to the Norfolk Broads and Norwich city.

Five bedrooms sleep eight across two floors: two king-size rooms (one with en-suite bath and shower, one with en-suite shower), a double, a second double and a single. Four bathrooms total including a ground-floor shower room and first-floor bathroom. The kitchen has a full appliance set including dishwasher.

Cromer Pier (2 miles, 5 mins) is a short drive. Blickling Estate (14 miles, 25 mins), Sheringham Park (7 miles, 15 mins) and the Norfolk Broads at Wroxham (18 miles, 30 mins) are all within easy reach for group days out.

Cedar Lodge suits groups who want beach access, space and comfort. Pets stay free. Private parking for three cars. The mature garden with rope swing works well for families too.
