Life's a Beach

With its playful name and prime beachfront position, Life's a Beach lives up to its promise, offering couples and small groups a stylish coastal retreat on Norfolk's unspoilt eastern shore. This contemporary two-storey lodge commands impressive views across the North Sea from every angle. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the open-plan living space create a sense of being at one with the ocean, while a rooftop terrace accessed by a spiral staircase takes the experience even higher. Stand among the clouds with a morning coffee or an evening cocktail, watching the sun paint the water gold. The living space downstairs has been designed with relaxation in mind. Comfortable sofas face the view, a well-equipped kitchen means you can cook with fresh local seafood from Cromer, and the dining area seats four with the ever-changing seascape as your backdrop. Two bedrooms share this level, both finished in calming coastal tones with quality linens and blackout blinds. Two bathrooms ensure privacy and convenience, particularly when four friends are sharing. Outside, a spacious deck overlooks the beach below, furnished for dining al fresco when the weather allows. Your private hot tub occupies pride of place, perfectly angled to capture both the sunrise over the sea and those spectacular Norfolk sunsets that light up the entire sky. Dogs are welcome to join the adventure, which opens up morning beach walks as the tide retreats and evening strolls along the sand as the stars emerge. Bacton Beach remains one of Norfolk's quieter stretches of coastline, meaning you will often have the shore to yourselves. From this coastal base, the traditional Victorian resort of Cromer lies just fifteen minutes along the coast, famous for its pier shows and exceptional crab. Great Yarmouth offers a different flavour of seaside fun with its amusement parks and promenade, while inland, the Norfolk Broads waterways reward exploration by boat or on foot. For those arriving in electric vehicles, charging facilities at the lodge make sustainable travel straightforward. Return from your adventures to plug in, then ease into the hot tub as your car charges, ready for tomorrow's explorations. Life's a Beach captures everything wonderful about the British seaside, elevated by contemporary design and that all-important hot tub with a view.
