If this kind of autumn and winter treat appeals to you, check out our Shepherd’s Lodge, which is available for up to 5 people throughout the year. The wood-burning stove, thick duvets, underfloor heating and hot tub will keep your family warm and snug, creating the cosiest retreat after crisp coastal walks.

Each yurt features a wood burner to keep evenings toasty, while the Shepherd’s Lodge includes both a log burner and underfloor heating. This makes it one of the most comfortable options for families looking to glamp throughout the year, and is why our site is so popular and has such great reviews.
What’s the best area of North Norfolk for glamping?
Cromer is one of the most family-friendly places to base yourself. It offers sandy beaches, coastal walks, independent shops and classic seaside charm. The Grove Glamping’s peaceful woodland location, within walking distance of the beach, puts you close to everything while offering a quiet, nature-filled retreat to return to each day. If you wish, you can arrive, park your car and not have to drive for the rest of your stay. Everything you need is in easy reach, and there are plenty of taxis and buses for anyone wanting to travel further afield without jumping in the car. This makes it a proper holiday for everyone.
How close are the nearest pubs, cafés or farm shops?
Within a one-minute stroll of our glamping site, you’ll find The Grove’s own Two Rosette restaurant - The Garden Rooms - serving beautifully prepared dishes using fresh produce we grow here. We also have Sundown, a food area in a stretch-tent Tipi that serves delicious pizza and tapas during our primary season. The Grove bar also has a menu available each afternoon and offers delicious holiday treats such as cream teas.
We grow much of our own food in The Grove Garden, which John Graveling carefully nurtured into an impressive heritage vegetable garden, which you are welcome to look around during your stay. It’s also worth booking a table in the restaurant, food tent, or bar before you arrive, as they are very popular.
Cromer’s cafés, pubs and ice-cream spots are an easy walk away. For local ingredients and treats, nearby shops and coastal stalls offer everything from Norfolk meats and cheeses to freshly baked bread, which are perfect for BBQ nights or easy family meals back at your glamping yurt or shepherd’s pod. You can even order a food delivery, giving you every opportunity to find a little bit of what you fancy.
