Valonia Cottage is a welcoming semi-detached accommodation located at the Cromer Lighthouse site in Norfolk, East of England. The lighthouse itself dates back to 1833, replacing the original built in 1680, and was automated in 1990. The cottage can comfortably sleep five guests and is pet-friendly, making it an ideal choice for families looking to enjoy a seaside holiday. Nestled near the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Valonia Cottage offers both comfort and scenic views.
The cottage is conveniently situated just a mile from the traditional North Norfolk town of Cromer, accessible via a pleasant 10-minute walk along the coastal path or the beach. Cromer is renowned for its vibrant holiday atmosphere, featuring a long sandy beach adorned with colorful beach huts. Visitors can indulge in local seafood delicacies, particularly the famous Cromer crab sandwich, which is a must-try while exploring the town's shops and pubs.
Cromer boasts a variety of attractions, including a pier that hosts a theatre and café, as well as the Cromer RNLI lifeboat station, which is open to the public. Guests can engage in fun activities such as hiring dipping nets and buckets on the pier to try their hand at catching their own Cromer crab. Additionally, there is a delightful sea-front café and restaurant located at the lifeboat museum, providing a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the coastal ambiance.
