Escape to this charming 16th-century family cottage and immerse yourself in its historic ambience whilst enjoying the shared swimming pool and games room with the never-ending sands of Bacton Beach nearby.

Step inside and discover a spacious living room with comfortable seating, an inviting electric fire, and a Smart TV, providing the perfect space for relaxation. Prepare delicious meals for your loved ones in the well-equipped kitchen, then gather around the antique dining table and chairs to savour your culinary creations. When it's time to retire for the night, choose from one of two inviting bedrooms. The first bedroom, located on the ground floor, is a cosy twin room with doors leading out to the garden. The second bedroom is accessed via steep wooden steps leading up to a beautiful galley, where you'll find a comfortable double bed tucked under the sloping eaves of the roof.

We stayed at Pilgrims Progress for a week after Christmas and over the New Year. The accommodation was adorable and very homely and we would definitely stay again. The private use of the heated pool was exceptional. Each of the 5 cottages are given 1.5h daily timeslots on a rota. Fortunately for us, most of the other cottages were empty, so we Read morecould change our times to suit our other activities. The building that houses the pool is extra special, and I never tired of looking up at the ancient (and not to ancient) roof timbers and the underside of the thatch whilst swimming. I am a Building Surveyor though. The games room is also great, and we spent several hours playing air hockey and pool with the kids. The pool table has a bit of a mind of its own, but its still great fun. The lovely sandy beach is about 5 minute walk along a track and fantastic for walking the dog on blustery winter days. The only downside with the Pilgrims Progress cottage maybe for some, is that the bedroom is a mezzanine over the kitchen and accessed by a set of steep timber steps with no handrail and a very low beam at the top. If you have mobility problems or young children, this may be a concern. Our dog climbed them once, and we had difficulty getting him down (35kg Old English Sheepdog). After that we had to barricade the bottom with a chair so he couldn't get up them. All in all, wonderful place to stay. Hide

We had a lovely trip to Norfolk despite the weather. Accommodation was great for us and Prosecco on arrival very much appreciated. Pool / sauna access with rotated time for each cottage made the trip. Manager really helpful and dealt with faulty toaster very promptly. Cleanliness of kitchen equipment and bathroom could have been better on arrival.
