Let’s be real: you might hit a rainy day in Hunstanton. It happens. That’s when Searles shines. They have an indoor swimming pool with a flume. A flume! You can’t be grumpy when you’re sliding into a pool at 45 degrees.
There’s also a games room, a bar, and a restaurant. The bar serves classic pub grub, and the kids can play arcade games while you pretend you’re winning at the fruit machine. No judgement here.

Oh, and they have entertainment. Live music, bingo, a magician who might be slightly drunk. It’s all part of the charm. You’ll end up laughing at something unexpected, which is the whole point of a holiday, right?
Outdoor Adventures (When the Sun Shows Up)
Step outside the resort, and you’re on South Beach Road. This is prime territory for a cracking walk. The beach is huge, the sand is golden, and the water? Well, it’s the North Sea. It’s bracing. But your children won’t care. They’ll be collecting shells and chasing waves like tiny, joyful maniacs.
You can walk all the way to the cliffs. They’re red and white striped – a total geological show-off. Take a photo, pretend you’re in a film, and then treat yourself to fish and chips. There’s a great chippy a few minutes away. You can’t miss it; just follow the smell of vinegar and happiness.
During summer, the outdoor heated pool at Searles is a lifesaver. It’s big, it’s warm, and it’s surrounded by sunbeds that people claim with towels like they’re planting a flag. You’ll fit right in. Grab your spot early.
