Sandy Snug

Perched above the sandy shores of Bacton Beach, Sandy Snug offers families the rare luxury of waking up to sea views and falling asleep to the sound of waves on the Norfolk coast. This beautifully designed coastal lodge sits within a small community of holiday properties just steps from the beach. Large windows and glass doors make the most of the elevated position, with panoramic views stretching across the North Sea from the open-plan living space. On clear days, you can watch ships passing on the horizon while seals and seabirds patrol the shoreline below. Inside, the lodge has been thoughtfully fitted out with families in mind. The living area provides comfortable sofas where everyone can gather for film nights, while the dining space seats four with ease. A fully equipped kitchen makes self-catering simple, and young families will appreciate the cot and highchair available upon request. Two bedrooms offer flexibility for different group configurations, with quality linens and blackout blinds to help little ones settle after beach days. Two bathrooms mean no morning queues, and the ground-floor layout keeps everything accessible. The real star of Sandy Snug is waiting outside. A private deck wraps around the lodge, furnished for al fresco dining with views you will not want to leave. Your hot tub sits ready for evening soaks as the sun dips below the horizon, the perfect reward after hours of sandcastle building and rock pooling below. Dog owners will be pleased to know that four-legged friends are welcome here, and the beach allows dogs year-round on certain stretches. Morning walks along the sand become a daily ritual, with miles of coastline to explore in both directions. From Sandy Snug, the North Norfolk coast reveals its treasures. Cromer's Victorian pier is just ten miles up the coast, famous for its crab and traditional seaside charm. In the other direction, the quiet beaches of Happisburgh and Sea Palling offer wildlife-spotting opportunities and some of the region's most dramatic clifftop walks. For families with electric vehicles, the lodge offers convenient charging, making sustainable coastal holidays that bit easier to achieve. Whether your days involve building sandcastles, exploring rockpools or simply watching the ever-changing seascape from your deck, Sandy Snug delivers a genuine seaside escape with all the comforts of home.
