About
Tides can be found tucked into a corner of the park, facing the sea and just a short walk away from the seafront. Sit on the terrace watching the world go by, with a partial view of the sea on the horizon and relax with this slower pace of life. Step in through the glazed front door to open plan living, comfy leather sofas, room to dine and the kitchen, small but well equipped. The inner hall leads to a double room, twin bedroom and the bathroom.
The property is light and airy in the summer, but cosy and snug in the winter thanks to radiator central heating and double glazing throughout. Light colour ceramic tile flooring combined with light walls, and blue accessories provide a seaside theme that is very popular and works all year round. Walk through the inner hallway where you can store coats and shoes, into the main bedroom and you will find warm solid pine furniture and a hotel quality double bed. The twin bedroom has white furniture, hotel quality 3′ and a 2’6″ pull out guest bed. The bed comes to the same height as the standard bed and they can be pushed together for a double. For our younger guests there’s a travel cot available.
Just a short walk away from the beaches that come and go with the tides; with the sea wall it’s always possible to walk along the coast to a nearby dog friendly pub or cafe. Hear the sound of the sea or in the winter the crashing of the waves! The park is based in the small rural seaside village of Bacton, which although small has some great eating places within walking distance.

Location
Tides and its sister property Beachscape are based in peaceful Rainbows End Holiday Park, in Bacton. The park is pet friendly with 13 acres of grassland and has no amenities apart from the sea on its doorstep! There is direct access to the beach just yards away and miles of coastline to walk in either direction. There is an on site office should you need any specific help whilst there. The field is a lovely safe environment that you can allow your children to run around on, play football, cricket or perhaps fly a kite.
Bacton can be found on the North East Norfolk Coast, about 10 miles down the coast from Cromer, the nearest large coastal town. It is a small village, and dotted around you see the traditional flint cottage style home. It is served very well with a lovely well stocked village shop and numerous eating places.
For more details of where to eat, go to the Dining Out section of the site.
The remains of Bromholm Priory, while not open to the public, can be viewed from different parts of the village. You can read a little about its history on the Bacton History Group site or here on the Paston Heritage website, where there are details of a book giving a fictional account of life at The Priory in the Thirteenth Century, by Jane Finch.
If you want to read about the local comings and goings in these rural villages, then you can read The Village News, which covers Bacton, Edingthorpe, Ridlington & Witton
If you enjoy a swim in an indoor pool rather than the sea (!) we are lucky enough to have not a swimming pool in the village that can be hired by the hour.
