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.

Super Stay

Easy access to Crab Cottage which was Light and Airy and very clean and pretty well equipped. Location is great with easy access to the East Promenade and a short walk to the town via the Promenade or via the roads. We very much enjoyed our 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.

Comfortable stay in good location

There were only 2 of us but we found the house comfortable and well equipped. The location was great and we only used our car once in 4 days. Easy access to the beach and coastal walk and to the centre of town. Good eateries nearby. Loved the conservatory. Other bedrooms a bit small for adults.

Beautiful property, could not fault it. Perect located for both the beach and the town. Having the drive to park on off the road at the front of the property was perfect. The cottage was clean and a good size for 3 adults and a child. I would highly recommend.

A perfect holiday home

The property is everything it says in the details and more. We were there for a long weekend with members of our family, and other family members were in another cottage which was less than five minutes away. It was also very well priced. We will definitely try to use it again.

Perfect location

Location of the property is fabulous. Within walking distance of the beach snd amenities of Sheringham. Great to have parking at the property and appreciated the 'welcome pack" contents. Single beds in 2nd bedroom would benefit from better matresses as they are quite thin; and the property could do with a bit of decoration/cleaning up (especially in shower room - a bit of black mould). Kitchen well equipped. Overall we all had a great time, thank you.

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.

Friends stay.

The cottage was lovely well appointed. Cosy yet plenty of space. Host was responsive to our needs. We would definitely have booked again however the mattresses in twin room although probably fine for children were hard and uncomfortable. I found sleeping difficult. My friend in double room matress was fine. It was a real shame as we would have liked to come again and bring friends. Great for a family break.

Great location

We did have a really good time the location is excellent and we will probably book again. The only negative would be that both the front and back garden were overgrown and needed cutting back / mowing. Also the beds in the second bedroom had memory foam mattresses which made the bed hard and uncomfortable, there were only 2 of us sand we needed a room each so we put two mattresses on one bed which was much better. Apart from that a really nice property.

Great location

Lovely house let down by lack of maintenance. It is a great house, comfortable beds, good furniture but our stay was totally marred by problems with windows either not shutting (not funny when bedroom window doesn't shut in a raging NW gale and is not properly secured) or windows not opening. "Handtowels provided" were one each for kitchen, bathroom & shower room so no personal handtowels for hygienic purposes. No dishes or cover for microwave use except cereal bowls which got extremely hot. Little in the way of cooking dishes. Really a great great shame as it could be a lovely place to stay even when the weather is poor. Easy walk to beach and town.

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.
