Experience the nostalgic seaside charm of Sheringham from this delightful brick-and-flint cottage. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom hideaway is tucked away in the heart of this Norfolk coastal town, just 500 metres from the beach. With accommodation across three storeys, it’s perfect for couples and small families, and features an enclosed courtyard garden and a warming wood burner.
Climb five steps to the cottage to enter via the front door. Hang your coats on the hooks in the hall and make your way down the open-tread staircase to the open-plan living space on the lower ground floor. Unpack the fresh seafood and other Norfolk produce you've sourced in town, then light the wood burner and pause for a minute in a comfortable chair with a cup of tea. The modern kitchen has everything you need to cook up a storm, with a table ready for holiday meals. Your main lounge, which is another superb social space, is on the ground floor. Here, you can take the weight off your feet as you flick through the channels on the Smart TV. When you’re ready to retire for the night, head up the steep, cottage-style stairs to the first floor, where your king-size and bunk bedrooms await. The well-appointed family bathroom is also here. Outside, savour the sea air in the courtyard on warm days and dine alfresco together at the table beneath the pergola. Parking for this cottage is on-street (subject to availability) or in a payable public car park 200 metres away.
Jump aboard a steam train on the North Norfolk Railway and disembark in Holt, where you can potter in the shops and enjoy afternoon tea. Venture into Cromer (4 miles) to stroll along the pier, see a show at the theatre, and take the children to Amazona Zoo.
