Cromer, EnglandIt is very hard to describe Band of Hope Hall, as you really need to step inside to appreciate just how special it is. With the original plaque and Temperance statement still visible on the walls, along with the two-storey high ceilings and parquet flooring, you can get a sense of this terraced building’s history, but its new owners have made sure there are lots of great modern touches too. The statement wood burner really pulls the stylish living room together and with floor-to-ceiling glass facing onto the small enclosed courtyard, the whole space is flooded with light. This is helped by the glass ceiling on the mezzanine level, perfect for stargazing, but complete with remote control blinds ready for those lie-ins. The sleek, modern kitchen is well equipped and has a range to prepare lovely meals to be enjoyed at the large dining table or in the garden. It also boasts a downstairs wet room and two downstairs bedrooms, and there are no steps on the ground floor, making this a great choice for three generations travelling together or for those less mobile.
As a Victorian building, this lovely property started life as a Temperance Hall, part of the movement to address poverty caused by alcohol consumption in the 1800s, but while the Temperance statement is still clear in the plasterwork, you are likely to want to raise a glass to congratulate yourselves on the perfect pick for a great holiday. Step outside and you can be on the wide, sandy beach in moments or enjoying a bite to eat or drink in one of the many great Cromer town centre pubs, restaurants and cafés.
Cromer also boasts traditional seaside attractions, a wide range of boutique and high street shops, a cinema, a cliff top golf club and Amazonia Zoo.

Plus, the whole of Norfolk is very dog friendly and Cromer itself will often welcome your furry family member with a treat or two while you enjoy a cuppa. And, after a busy day out and about you can unwind in the private courtyard with a barbeque or relax by the feature wood burner, making Band of Hope Hall a year round perfect choice.
