  • Unique coastal retreat located in a renovated former boathouse in the seaside resort of Sheringham
  • Upside-down design with the living space upstairs and a wealth of original features
  • First-floor balcony with table and chairs for outdoor dining and soaking up the sea views

Property code: OC-1950

Relax on the balcony at this beautiful Sheringham home, where fishing boats were once built, and look out towards the sea. Sleeping six guests, the two-bedroom hideaway, which offers dog-friendly accommodation, has been creatively converted to provide reverse-level, barn-style accommodation. Just over 50 metres from Sheringham’s award-winning beach, the property is also in an ideal location for anyone seeking to be close to shops and eateries. It makes a perfect base for those wishing to walk the Norfolk Coast Path or explore the wider North Norfolk area.

Make your way in at ground-floor level to discover this is where your beamed bedrooms are located. Here you will find a bunk bedroom, a double room and the family bathroom. Wander up to the first floor to emerge in a splendid, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with an impressive, vaulted and beamed ceiling, and glass doors on to the balcony. Prepare meals in here on those occasions you choose not to dine out; gather round the table together and lounge on the soft seating in front of the TV or DVD player. Listen to music as you unwind on the balcony with a glass of wine as the sun sets. There is no garden with this property but the beach is close by and there is parking for two cars.

Explore the charming streets of Sheringham, visit the museum and take a steam train along the heritage Poppy Line to Holt. Head 4 miles into Cromer to find even more shops and eateries and to spend time on the pier, with its theatre that stages summer and Christmas shows. Head 2 miles to stroll through Sheringham Park, exquisitely landscaped by renowned designer Humphry Repton and now managed by the National Trust, or 9 miles to Blakeney to take a trip out to see the seals.

Lovely break away. Ideal situation ( even though there was noise from the nearby pub garden in the evenings and early morning deliveries). Very well equipped spotlessly clean and comfortable bed.

Great accommodation and location. You have to accept the noise as the cottage is in the middle of Sheringham and next door to two pubs - but does not spoil the holiday. Booked again for next year.

What a great location ! Lovely sea view . Didnt use the balcony as it was October. Comfortable place but a lot of things quite dated and needs replacing. Be aware , there is a pub next door and most days busy especially Friday and Saturday till quite late. Very central to bars restaurants and not far from the train station .

This was our second visit & hopefully won't be our last. Both of our stays have been for Sheringham's 1940's event, so we chose the Old Boathouse primarily for its location & it's outdoor space of the Balcony, which has been replaced to a fabulously high specification.

Excellent position in Sherringham including for parking but only for one car on premises not two. Lots to do within very easy access, including shopping and eating. We expected a better welcome pack including fresh milk and felt a slight refresh of some items in the property was due.

This was our first visit to Sheringham & on viewing/booking 'The Boat House' we were not disappointed with our accommodation. It certainly has the 'WOW' factor from pulling up outside, to entering the property & reaching the top of the stairs to the lounge area, which is an excellent open space with plenty of light flooding in through the balconyRead more doors. This just draws you to the Balcony which is great place for 'people watching', especially as were here for the 1940's weekend. The location is perfect & has the added bonus of it's own parking spot. We loved our time here, so much so that we have booked a return in September 2025 Hide
