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.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an electric kettle.

We had a lovely time at this property, ideally located - just minutes to the beach or the town with off road parking. Easy check in. Area was quiet,the house had lovely views of the sea. Very spacious with comfortable beds and lovely fresh bedding. I was concerned after seeing previous reviews about cleanliness but we found it to be very clean just need a bit of refreshing in some areas which probably gets done in low season.Nice to have enclosed garden for dog. Our only moan would be cleanliness of cutlery,plates, saucepans etc, had to wash some items before use but that’s probably down to previous guests. Overall we loved this accommodation and would definitely stay here again.

Location was fantastic and there was enough living space for a family of 5. Nice outdoor decking and conservatory added extra spaces. The house was just not incredibly clean and was a bit shabby in places. It needs a bit of time spent on it and a really good clean. We found a dog bone under a chair, one of the door locks to the bathroom kept falling off and there weren't really enough water glasses. We still very much enjoyed our stay though.

4 night break

Property is in a great location, good size but need of TLC & upgrade. Beds were comfy and the house is well equipped. The house had not been cleaned & beds were as last renters had left however, owner soon arranged clean bedding & cleaner came next day. I suspect this was a problem with the contracted company rather than the owner. The garden is overgrown & you can't see the sea from the decking - shame. Town centre is very close with lots of shops & eateries. Overall we had a lovely stay in Sheringham.

Near beach and bump

We love Sherringham having stayed nearby several times. Large detached house. Shower room and seperate bath room both with toilet (not clear on description). Good size secure garden for kids and dogs. Sea view upstairs. The children were all relaxed in the house as homely. By the pitch and putt, Beeston bump and steps to beach.Lovely sandy beach.

Great location, property needs some updating, gardens were over grown, garden furniture was unusable as it was covered with bird poo, green moss growing in the roof of the extension. Cold tap in the kitchen had no running water, having said this the location was central for town and Beach.

Excellent location. Large property but needs some TLC. Didn’t like having to clear up 2piles of dog poo in the garden that were from obviously large dogs on arrival. Clean and very functional. Suited us fine for the 3 days of our short stay.

February break

We stayed for a short break by the sea and it was great. The property is spacious, clean and well equipped. It’s in a great location for the beach although it's a steep climb! It’s nice to be able to walk in to the town and not use the car all the time.

A great place but…

February half term is cold - on this occasion very cold but North Norfolk is stunning and a perfect time to visit! However, it was obvious when we arrived the property had not been rented in a while - no heating (it was 1 degree and -7 wind chill) and it was freezing! If you have guests coming at least put heating on the day before?!

Bit run down, parking difficult. High kerb, drop kerb by overgrown shrubs. But it did all.

The property was a bit unloved. No carpets anywhere, just felt cold. Mind the owner was very good, we struggled with the Tv and he got back to us, quickly and the problem got solved.

unloved property

The location was good as was Sheringham. Not a good first impression when you arrive. Letter box cover missing hedges need cutting spilling over path path with brambles. Crab sign fading. Inside clean but needs some maintenance. Being 2 pensioners the first thing was that the banister at the top of the stairs which was coming away from the wall and was quite dangerous. The bedside light in the double room didn't work and the main light switch was by the door. If the nightlight on the landing was working it would have helped especially negotiating going to the bathroom at night. It had already been pointed out in the visitors book by someone earlier in the year that rain came in the conservatory roof which is not doing the wooden floor any good. Saying that despite the faults we enjoyed our stay in the cottage.
