A wonderful airy, bright and spotless site in a great location
I came here after a stay at Incleboro, two miles down the road towards Sheringham. Seacroft represents quite a contrast but I found it mostly a positive one. Being in a popular seaside area with a swimming pool, bar, restaurant and entertainment, it is easy to imagine that it would be busy, bustling and probably noisy when the schools are on holiday and when, no doubt, families abound here. These facilities are not those one would normally associate with the Caravan Club and they are things I would normally avoid; not for any hatred of these resources themselves but rather the consequences they tend to bring. As it was, during my visit, outside a peak holiday time, peace and quiet reigned but I definitely would not want to be here at the height of the summer. But this is just about the only negative I can find about Seacroft; of course, this would be a big positive for many and I recognise that. Other than this, the site is lovely. I prefer ordered sites, in a neat square or rectangle and that is more or less what you get here albeit in two rectangles plus a tent field. There are fewer trees than normal around the boundary and consequently the site is open, bright, fresh and uplifting. It helps being very close to the sea which you can see from many pitches. The Wifi was good, TV was excellent on the bollards (for once) although, like at Incleboro, ITV3 was missing which I presume must be something to do with the local transmitter. All communications were good. The toilet block was excellent (although to nit-pick, I prefer the showers where the shower area is sunken from the bit where one dresses and it is better to have a bench seat rather than those silly white plastic stools). Mark and Steve, two of the four wardens, who were on duty when I arrived are so welcoming and full of information and plainly devoted to their role. They were great. Many pitches are on grass but there are a good number of hard standing and currently 10 service pitches very soon to be added to with 23 spanking new, full-service pitches which looked, from a distance, to be absolutely excellent and many of these raised up slightly so I imagine that views would be great from here. My only doubt concerned the fact that from some of these new pitches it would be a decent walk to the toilet block and I also wondered if the toilet block could adequately cope with the extra numbers at busy periods. But I think these things are governed by regulations - it was just a nagging doubt I had; and a downside which is wholly unproven. There’s a bus stop right outside the site entrance for buses to Sheringham or Cromer or to further afield. Cromer is about 15 minutes walk; the station for trains to Norwich maybe nearer 25 minutes. The nearest access to the beach that I found was at East Runton. This village also has a good convenience store. Outside of peak season, I would highly recommend this site. I expected to find it inferior to Incleboro, but I was wrong. It’s really good here.
