Seacroft CC site

We have recently stayed for 5 nights at Seacroft.

The overall look of the site is slightly 'commercial' rather than the typical CC site - the pitches on the main area are on the small side (some of the ‘awning’ pitches were too small to fit everything on and cars were parked partly on the grass dividing strip). The grass pitches in the middle of the site looked especially crowded. I’m surprised that the Club didn’t rectify these issues when they took over and redeveloped the site.

There were a lot of large muddy patches on the grass area, where people had placed awnings and hadn’t bothered lifting their ground-sheet.

The site has been extended quite recently and the new pitches are all serviced with a tap and a drain point.

There is good TV reception (no need to use the aerial points provided on the bollard), mobile phone reception (Three) was quite poor and the Club wi-fi was marginal but just about acceptable.

The site is in a good location for walking into Cromer (about 1/2 mile) but saying it's close to the beach is slightly misleading - it's across a busy road and another half mile to the nearest beach access.

The wardens are friendly and keep the site in good condition. There is just one toilet / shower block (although there are toilets in the club-house) and this is slightly dated but in good condition and well maintained. There is the usual lack of privacy between toilet cubicles – screens that stop well short of the floor make cleaning easy but aren’t very private. Also the cubicles were rather narrow. The gents had 5 toilet cubicles and 6 wash cubicles (never saw one being used) - why do the Club insist on providing so many of these wash cubicles?

Unusually for the CC, there is a club-house with a bar serving meals (but only on a Sunday at this time of year, I think). I believe there is entertainment laid on in the summer months. There is an open air swimming pool - unsurprisingly, not open at this time of year (October).

There are bus stops right outside the site - Cromer and Norwich in one direction, Sheringham in the other. There's a fair bit to do in the area - Cromer is a nice little seaside town, Sheringham is also pleasant, Sheringham Park (NT) very pleasant to walk around as well as two other NT properties nearby. There are lots of nice coastal villages in both directions and the Broads are further south.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the site makes a pleasant alternative to the equally pleasant (but more informally laid out) Incleboro Fields, just up the road.
