Ryan's Beach Hut of the Year 2021: Isobel Robson and the North Norfolk Crawlers

Insurance specialists Ryan's have announced the winner of their second annual Beach Hut of the Year  in association with Millie's Beach Huts.

Judges Veronica Henry (bestselling author of The Beach Hut, Christmas at the Beach Hut and A Wedding at the Beach Hut) and Vicky Gunn from Millie's chose Isobel and Paul Robson's hut on Mundesley seafront in Norfolk which is a meeting spot for the North Norfolk Crawlers who enjoy bracing early morning sea swims.

First prize is £300 plus a year's free insurance, a luxury hamper, winner's plaque, plus £150 donation to the winner's beach hut association. 

Veronica Henry said: "I loved reading all the stories behind the beach huts and seeing the huge benefits they had brought to people’s lives. If only we could all have a beach hut on prescription!" 

Vicky said she found it hard not to get emotional when reading the stories behind this years entries. "Having a local group and hut like this one would have definitely made me discover the huge health and mental wellbeing benefits of wild swimming that we've all desperately needed this year. I particularly love how not only did the hut bring people together but how it's collective use shone through in it's décor too. My Instagram feeds are always full of younger members of families enjoying a dip in the sea, I'm hoping this may inspire lots more mums and dads to join them too!"
