Five fun family retreats in Norfolk for 2025

While we're still wearing (many) layers and scraping frost from the windshield, it's this time of year I start dreaming of spring. Daylight stretches past 5pm, snowdrops are sprouting and the Six Nations has started. We're in the final stretch of winter just before Norfolk blooms and it's time to plan that Easter break, (or book ahead for summer!)

Whether it's a cosy cottage, glamping or five-star service you seek, here's our pick of where to book your next family stay in north Norfolk.

1. Blakeney Hotel: Neatly situated quayside in one of the region's most picturesque villages, with sweeping vistas of the coast, Blakeney Hotel offers family suites with discreet luxury in the heart of North Norfolk. From here enjoy coastal walks, biking, paddle boarding, mud-bathing, shopping or heading out to spot the seals from Morston. After a full day's activity indulge your senses in the spa and stunning indoor pool. Bliss. 
2. Blakeney Cottage Company: Continuing the Blakeney theme, BCC boast an enviable portfolio of charming cottages in and around the area to suit a variety of holidays. Be it a large family reunion, break with the kids or a romantic getaway, BCC have a cottage to suit most occasions, and budgets. 
3. Happy Valley Norfolk: As demand for the 'glam' in glamping ratchets ever higher, those seeking family fun with a twist look no further than Happy Valley Norfolk. From luxury wooden cabins replete with private hot tubs to fairy-lit tents this enchanting enclave in North West Norfolk has something for everyone. 
4. Wildscapes Norfolk Promising to be your 'window to the wild', Wildscapes is truly unique in their quest to offer guests an unforgettable immersion into nature. Enjoy guided ecology walks with wildlife rangers on how to forage food, take wild game to oven-ready meals and even train your dog. Relax by a cracking fire in your private cabin, or enjoy the scenery whilst bathing outdoors in your secret outdoor bath. Stunning.   
5. Wild Luxury A taste of safari in the heart of Norfolk, Wild Luxury manage two separate camps, Drove Orchards in Thornham a stone's throw from the beach, or Summerfield near Sedgeford. Inspired by the Serengeti, these are award-winning lodges that can sleep up to 10 with the whole family in mind.
