Christmas special at Pilgrims holiday cottages.
Christmas is coming! While it might not seem so long ago that we were last celebrating Christmas, many will already be looking ahead to this year’s event.
Those planning for a big family get-together need look no further than North Norfolk, where up to 18 can enjoy the Christmas together and also have exclusive use of a 13x6 metre, heated indoor swimming pool and sauna.
Pilgrims Progress, Pilgrims Cottage, Pilgrims Chase and Pilgrims Prospect in the North Norfolk Coastal Village of Bacton will all be available to one group from 21st - 28th December 2008. This Christmas special will also include a hamper which will include; a local turkey with fresh vegetables, Christmas puddings, selection of cheeses, a bottle of port, brandy and sherry, red and white wine, champagne, Christmas crackers and a cake. Any other additional items can be ordered in advance and will be waiting for guests on arrival. There will also be a 20 foot, lit Christmas tree and there may even be a visit from Santa on Christmas morning with presents in his sack! The price is £4000 for all four properties based on 18 people sharing.

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. Map Ref : B8
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 |
