Delightful house, right in the centre of a seaside town with more depth of history than many.

Very bright, well equipped, clean little house in a very good position, modernised to a very high standard. No complaint, but the bathroom door is hard to close as it catches on the carpet binder at the bottom - probably easily fixed.

Lovely cottage, great location

We had a lovely week at Crab cottage. It was in a great location next to the sea promenade. We stayed with our two spaniels, whilst there were areas on the promenade and beaches that were restricted for dogs, there was a beach 5 minutes walk east accessible at low tides. Plenty of beautiful walks from Sheringham to Cromer, Sheringham Park etc.. Found free car parking on the Esplanade. Crab cottage had everything we needed with shops, restaurants and dog friendly pubs nearby. Cottage was quirky, with comfy beds and roomy powerful shower, also the stair gate provided was great for keeping dogs downstairs.

5th Sheringham visit

Everything we expected and a little more. Seating in lounge fine but after a time a little uncomfortable. Maybe a more modern type of arm chair with softer cushions. Unfortunately we have a bed settee at home and after a time a little hard on the old bum. Kitchen well appointed and practical. Bedrooms very good. Bathroom A1. Location could not be better and the car park ideal, could see thd car at all times from the back windows. Would definitely stay again.

A lovely little cottage in the heart of Sheringham

This is the second time we have stayed at the cottage. It is a really lovely and well-equipped cottage that is close to the beach and to the shops and pubs. Because of its central location, parking can be a little difficult at peak times, but if you buy a parking ticket for a week (about £35) the same ticket can be used in more than one car park. In the week that we were there we found a space in the closest car park every day except one - the next closest car park was only a couple of minutes walk away. A word of warning - the ceiling of the bedroom on the top floor is only just high enough for someone 5'8" (without shoes on) to stand in the central area (and lower where the roof slopes), so that bedroom may not be ideal for taller people. Overall it is a fabulous cottage in a great location. We will be back.

Being start of the season the carpets were very dirty and stair rail was very grubby that I felt I had to wash the rail within 5 mins of being in the cottage. I washed all the cutlery as first knife I took out of drawer had old butter or cheese on it, also some of the glasses had to be rewashed.On the positives the beds were clean and and comfortable, and the cottage was very ideal for the shops and pubs.

Great location

Enjoyed our stay. Perfect location for exploring North Norfolk. Being so central meant everything was on your doorstep. Not anything as noisy as I though it might be. Very quiet from late evening to mid morning. Accommodation was excellent and the sea breeze kept things cool at night, despite the heatwave.

Crab Cottage, Sheringham

Constructive criticism: The external doors need attention as they are difficult to lock. Also the lengthy inventory check was time consuming and never been known before. Strange! On the positive side the cottage was extremely clean, comfortable and in a great location. Also quite quiet considering where it was. We would have no hesitation in booking again.

Beautiful Fisherman's Cottage

Lovely cottage in a great location close to the sea. Sea views from the upstairs windows. Well equipped for self catering but also close to pub's, restaurants and cafe's to eat out. We had a lovely relaxing stay and have already booked to return next year.
