Group Leisure turns its attention to Norfolk and picks out five great accommodation options for groups planning an extended trip there. 

Great Yarmouth, Cromer, Sheringham, Hunstanton and the Norfolk Broads are just some of Norfolk’s tourist-y delights, so make a base at one these great accommodation options for groups before heading off to explore.

1. Langley Grange

Langley Grange in Norwich is a large country house near the Norfolk Broads, with highlights including indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a tennis court. The house sleeps up to 21 people so is suitable for smaller parties visiting the region.

The house is a 15-minute drive from Norwich, where the cathedral, castle, and collection of shops are waiting to be explored. It’s also 1.5 miles from Loddon, where groups can hire motor boats to explore the Norfolk Broads.

2. Potters Resort

Potters Resort offers plenty to do both onsite and in the surrounding area. Great Yarmouth, the Norfolk Broads, Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens and Pleasurewood Hills Family Theme Park are just some of the places that can be explored outside the resort.
