The Old Bakehouse Overstrand, Cromer in Norfolk, offers wonderful self catering accommodation in a superb setting. Situated in a sunny courtyard and well placed for both the beach and shops The Old Bakehouse has been lovingly converted into a roomy retreat, all on the ground floor, in a real gem of a seaside location.

Our wonderful holiday home sleeps up to 4 and is only a 5 minute walk to the beach. Our living room has a lofty, barn conversion feeling to it – the attractive open aspect to the ceiling with its exposed beams is complimented by the impressive size of the inglenook fireplace in which the large log burner sits comfortably. Light and airy this is a superb living space with polished wood flooring, tastefully furnished in a rural cottage style. Modern entertainment is provided by the digital television, DVD player and radio although you could equally simply enjoy curling up in front of the fire with a good book and a mug of hot chocolate at your elbow!

The kitchen/diner is attractively decorated with fully fitted wood units, exposed beams and the time-honoured Norfolk pammented floor. Despite the rural look you’ll find all the modern conveniences including oven, ceramic hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and automatic washer/dryer.

At The Bakehouse you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms – The master bedroom featuring a King size beautiful reproduction Victorian iron bedstead and the second twin sleigh beds– both delightfully decorated with smartly presented pine furniture. A good family sized bathroom complete with shower, bath, WC and wash basin puts the finishing touches to a truly memorable place to spend a holiday with loved ones.

Overstrand is one of those peculiar names that almost always inspires visitors to this delightful old North Norfolk village to ask if it actually means anything. The name has its root in the old Saxon tongue (and from there in the even older Nordic) – where ‘strand’ was the word for the part of the beach left exposed after the tide had gone out. Therefore, Overstrand would seem to indicate that the place was up or above the strand – i.e. the place overlooking the beach at low tide!
