Once an important place of pilgrimage, the ruins of Bromholme Priory are still to be seen in Bacton today. The priory was built in 1113 AD by William de Glanville and was home to the Cluniacs, the Black Monks who purchased a piece of the True Cross, the Bromholme Roode. Ensuing miracles ensured visits by many thousands of pilgrims including King Henry III. The priory was mentioned in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, the Domesday Book, and was the subject of a prediction in Mother Shiptons Almanac.

Today the coastal village opens its doors to the 21st Century pilgrims who visit for their holidays. They enjoy the friendly village atmosphere and the sandy beaches, which are often quiet even in the height of summer. There is a good range of local amenities including pubs, shops, a children's playground and a bowling green. 

These four beautifully refurbished cottages are set in the extensive mature and secure gardens and grounds of the 16th Century Grade II listed Pilgrims House, which was once the farmhouse of Bromholm Priory. A track behind the properties leads to the sandy beach. See further cottage details and 360 degree views on www.pilgrimsholidaycottages.co.uk Shop: 30 yds Pub: 400 yds

Gardens: Each cottage has its own private area with table, chairs and gas barbecue. There is shared use of the extensive gardens with its summerhouse, outdoor chess set and croquet.

Swimming Pool: At the centre of the complex the 16th Century Grade II listed thatched barn houses a large 13 x 6 metre heated indoor swimming pool and has exposed beams and stained glass windows, with sauna, shower and w.c. The pool (with an average year round temperature of 30c) is available for all guests and it may be used between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. There is no lifeguard, so an adult must supervise children at all times and nobody can use the pool area on their own.

Exercise Room & Laundry: On the first floor of the gig house/wood store is an exercise room with weights, air hockey and a pool table. The laundry area has a washing machine and tumble dryer for guests to use free of charge. There are also irons and ironing boards.

Parking: There is a private car park with parking for one car per property with further free public parking available 30 metres away in Abbey Street.
Pets: One very well-behaved dog per cottage
