When to Book a Holiday Cottage in Norfolk (and Save Money)
Timing can make all the difference when it comes to finding the perfect Norfolk cottage, and getting great value for your stay.
Peak Season: Summer Holidays and Coastal Breaks
July and August are the most popular months, especially for coastal towns like Cromer, Wells-next-the-Sea, and Sheringham. Properties fill up fast during school holidays, so it’s best to book 3 to 6 months in advance if you’re planning a summer stay.

For fewer crowds, better prices, and beautiful scenery, consider visiting Norfolk in:
- April to June - blooming countryside and quiet beaches

You’ll often find better availability and shoulder-season deals during these months.
Winter Escapes and Festive Breaks
Cottages with wood burners and cosy interiors are perfect for:
- Christmas and New Year getaways
- Long weekend breaks in January or February
- Quiet retreats for couples or writers
Booking early still applies for festive dates, but many off-season cottages offer last-minute discounts.
Tips for Saving on Your Norfolk Cottage
- Book direct to avoid platform fees
- Travel midweek for lower rates
- Look for flexible cancellation policies
- Sign up for alerts on late availability and special offers
The earlier you book, the more choice you’ll have, especially in popular areas and during school holidays.
