Welcome to The Pleasaunce
Scenic surroundings and a warm welcome await holidaymakers at The Pleasaunce. Situated on the North Norfolk coast, only two miles south-east of Cromer, The Pleasaunce is a Grade Two* listed mansion designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens for Lord and Lady Battersea between 1888 and 1902. Frequent visitors included Queen Alexandra, her sister the Dowager Empress of Russia, Princess Louise and several British Prime Ministers.
Standing in six acres of grounds, The Pleasaunce can accommodate up to 80 visitors, making it perfect for large parties. Guests can relax in the tranquil rose or sunken gardens and enjoy the cloisters and clock tower.
We offer fun and recreation for people of all ages. The Pleasaunce is a mere 100 metres from the cliffs, which overlook a popular sandy beach. Holidaymakers can choose to relax in the sea air, play a range of sports or take a walk along the coastal path.
The centre is in an ideal location for all holidaymakers, conferences, groups, school parties and retreats.
