About this property

Crab cottage: Detached house with sea views

Crab Cottage is the perfect venue for a family beach holiday in Sheringham.

Located on a quiet road in East Sheringham, it’s a three-minute walk to the beach, and a mere five minutes to Sheringham town centre – known for its old-fashioned seaside atmosphere and thriving independent shops, encompassing everything from traditional sweet shops to fish’n’chips, penny arcades, cafés, and even a working steam railway!

Crab Cottage has recently been redecorated, and we’ve done our best to think of everything you could wish for on your family holiday.

There is a small, enclosed garden at the back of the house with excellent sea views (and it’s sheltered – perfect for barbecues!), off-street parking for two cars, an open-plan living/dining area, and a separate kitchen. There’s even a gas fire and a few board games, making this a great choice for cosy winter breaks as well as summer holidays.

You’ll find more information about our facilities below, but if there’s anything else you’d like to know, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Fantastic location with sea view, and the option to sit in the garden. Spacious living area for up to 6 people. Parking a bonus. Beds comfortable. I think everything we needed was available. Some areas could do with a bit of a clean/TLC but it wouldn't put me off staying again.

We unfortunately only had a few nights stay. First time to Sheringham. Would definitely stay again. The view was stunning. Would love to stay longer and explore this part of Norfolk more. Easy access to house, clear instructions. Few things slightly tired and could do with replacing. But great place to stay.

Just to be clear - the problem was that the hot water stopped working and was not an immediate fix. These guests were very understanding and fortunately we had another house nearby for them to occupy. Regrettably stuff breaks - visitors are not always as understanding!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Cloutman

Host profile image
We first went on holiday to Sheringham with our four children in 1994 and loved its unspoiled character. We bought a holiday home there in 2005 and the opportunity to purchase Queen Mary House followed in 2007 and then Crab Cottage in 2015. We were knocked out by the position looking directly out to sea - as are all of the visitors to Seacliff. We love visiting Sheringham and the nearby coastline with opportunities to mess about in boats and then come "home" to all the facilities in Sheringham and the friends that we have made locally.

We are always available to contact during your stay and have local help to cover most situations.

Why they chose this property

Quiet location on edge of lovely timewarp English seaside town with sea views.

What makes this property unique

Excellent sea views, enclosed garden and off-street parking for two cars.

Dog-friendly and close to dog-permitted beaches at eastern end of town.
