The cottage location is ideal for dog walking, although there is no enclosed garden with the exception of a small courtyard. Can be noisy with the next door cafe. Warm and comfortable.

We found the cottage comfortable and spacious. Great location with some good sea views. It was within walking distance to the popular resort of Cromer. We found our stay relaxing and peaceful. Lovely food served at the Caf next door. We would definitely stay here again.

Shoal Cottage was a gorgeous base for our holiday. Having the sea view was beautiful and it was lovely to pop over to the waters edge with the dog. The cottage was warm, comfortable and extremely well furnished. The art work was amazing. Having a downstairs bedroom with en-suite was perfect for my 85 year old mum. Having the cafe next door was Read morereally handy and Id recommend it. Theres a childrens play area near the car park. A little shack selling the best crab and lobster. A really good pub/restaurant just up the road and Overstrand village is lovely. The cottage is an ideal base for exploring Norfolk and there is plenty to do for all ages in the area. Hide
