About this house rental
Built in the Art Deco era, this three-storey, end-of-terrace house (formerly two adjacent houses) offers bright rooms, sea views, and sleeping arrangements for up to 20 people – all in a fantastic clifftop position overlooking Sheringham beach.
The house has been arranged with large family gatherings in mind, and we’ve tried our best to cater for all your needs. On the ground floor there is a very large, open-plan living area with a well-stocked kitchen, ample comfortable seating, and a large dining table. There’s also a games room with table football and pool/snooker, and an enclosed, sea-facing patio with outdoor furniture and a barbecue.
In terms of location, you’d be hard-pressed to find somewhere better. The (dog-friendly) East Beach is only three minutes’ walk away, the North Norfolk Coastal Path begins almost on our doorstep, and Sheringham town centre (known for its old-fashioned seaside atmosphere and thriving independent shops) is just five minutes’ walk away.
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.

QMH is in an excellent location and has everything needed for a large family gathering.
We have been back many times and will continue to do so!

We’ve stayed here a number of times before and it works perfect for our large group across all ages from 3-70.
The location is fantastic and waking up to the sea view is always a great way to start the day.
The property does need some TLC. All bathrooms could do with an uplift. One shower had a broken temperature gauge so you couldn’t change it at all. Decking outside had few broken bits and the place could do with a deep clean. Cupboards and corners are dusty.
The price is almost double for next year so we’ve found somewhere else We’ve enjoyed our times here but can’t justify the new cost for this property.

We came over from NZ to meet up with all my husbands children and grandchildren. Perfect spot. Spent everyday at the beach when the tide was out. Beautiful weather and beach with lots of swims. Great space as there was 12 of us. Good facilities with good number of bathrooms. Well kitted out kitchen. Lovely views from deck outside. Didn't use bbq but everything provided if we wanted to. Great 18 hole pitting course at the top of the street. Very pretty township which was easily accessed along the promenade. Would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to create lovrly family memories. We have left with lots.

We recently rented this house for a long weekend for my mums 80th birthday. We had an age range from 4 to 83 ! The house is great , very spacious, beautiful views and well located . The little touches like the room names & subtle decor gave it character . The kitchen was incredibly well equipped with 2 of everything including dishwashers . There was a brilliant long table and lots of crockery! It was light and airy and we didn’t feel over crowded with 17 of us . If I had to make a criticism it would be the sofas , these have seen better days but it would not put me off booking again. We really enjoyed our stay .

This is the third time I have taken my family to the Queen Mary ranging from 10 - 80 years. The kids in particular love it. If you are looking for “posh” this is not for you but the place is so well equipped with 2 of everything and it is ideal. The bathroom in the first floor needs attention. The shower is showing wear and tear and looks a bit sad. The children love the games room on the top floor and access to the beach is great. Probably not so good for those with mobility issues. It’s a short walk into town and it’s priced very reasonably for a property that sleeps so many. A large patio with BBQ overlooking beach is ideal. The grass area beyond the patio needs regularly attention otherwise you can’t see the sea from the property. I would definitely go again

This property was ideal for 18 family members and 2 small dogs. The weather wasn’t brilliant but the games room, books etc in the accommodation was ideal along with a few items we supplied.
I think better photos are required as the current ones do not reflect the property, it is much better than presented.
Due to the school holidays and bank holiday, parking was a nightmare for the additional vehicles.
Some elements are getting tired but I think this is reflected in the rate.
More than adequate provisions of kitchen utensils, dining utensils etc.
Overall a great place for a family gathering and I would not hesitate to use it again.
4.5 out of 5.

The house was very large suitable in size for our family of 19. However the upstairs rooms were noisy and not suitable for our age ranges the teenagers couldn’t use the games room when the small ones were asleep.
The main problem was the oven the door wouldn’t close so cooking the turkey was quite a challenge.
The parking was a problem as we had 4 cars we were told there was plenty of parking in the nearby road, this was not the case it must be a nightmare in summer.

We were celebrating a birthday & there were 18 of us staying, the house was perfect with many thoughtful touches, the pictures on this site don’t really do it justice.
Would not hesitate to visit again & would definitely recommend to anyone.
Thank you

Beautiful house with a few hiccups we had no hot water and heating for a little while but the owner promptly got a plumber in the next day the oven didn’t shut probably and we had a washing machine which we needed to use as one of my grandsons was sick in his bed and I needed to wash the bedding but the machine didn’t work other than than I would love to go back x

Birthday celebration with the whole immediate family, 14 of us. The house was spacious, very well located and had the necessary equipment.
However, the oven proved a little slow and we could have done with more bin liners and some essential cleaning products and while the patio area had lovely views, the seating did not encourage time outside.
The beds were comfortable and the linen was very fresh. The seating in the dining area and the comfy sofas met our needs. We would recommend this house for large groups.

Lovely large property where we have stayed for the last 3 years. However we felt this year it’s looking very tired and in need of some tlc. Some basic maintenance work needs doing such as toilet door doesn’t lock - the fridge nearest the wall leaked all week - we had to buy a plunger and some solution to unblock the shower drain - security needs attention - door code has stayed the same each of our visits and there is no provision to lock yourselves in so we didn’t feel entirely safe at night and tried to barricade the front door. If there was a fire with the windows all locked upstairs and no keys escaping would not be easy. Again we had a leaking shower and the kitchen cupboard and glasses cupboard had dead spiders in and particularly the glasses cupboard hadn’t been dusted for quite some time. The mop under the stairs was very smelly so we didn’t use it. Beds and bedding were good but a child’s dummy and toy was found under one of the beds in seal and pup. It was nice to have lots of frying pans and some decent oven trays. Our light (in shrimp) blew on Saturday night and we felt the switch was a bit faulty. The pool cues - some of them have no ends so are unable to be used. I’m sorry to be negative as it could be such a lovely holiday home and we have booked for next year so are hoping to see some improvements. I think some sort of book for visitors to leave messages to the cleaner/owner so they are aware of any issues as I know nothing can be improved if you’re unawares

There were 11 family members (4 generations) youngest 8 eldest 90. We all had a great time. The property has sleeping accommodation for 20, however, we all said that because of limited bathroom facilities, 11/12 would be optimal. We had issues with Wi-Fi, the owner responded to my messages immediately and service was resumed. Maybe ready for a bit of an upgrade and a good spring cleaning, but we were on holiday!!! so who cares 😂🤔😂 overall great stay.

Fantastic birthday weekend with the family. The house was ideal, plenty of space, close to the beach and the veranda is a great outdoor space. Will definitely be coming back

Ideal property for a large group., With plenty of communal space on the ground floor. There was plenty and variety of activities to do. Our party consisted of active (coastal walk adjacent to property) and less active (near town centre). As an aside a mirror in the first floor bathroom is required. Also, we found the table in the kitchen got in the way, but that might be just the nature of our party! Overall we had a lovely time and would recommend.

We have returned from another wonderful stay at Queen Mary House in Sheringham, the third or fourth stay there, we think. The accommodations is large, clean and homely - an ideal gathering place for us, our children and grandchildren. The location offers everything within easy distance, from coastal walks to trips into quaint, unspoilt Sheringham itself with its steam railway small, independent shops and restaurants. We’ve not been disappointed yet.

Good property for a large group, clean, well equipped and spacious. Superb view and lovely walks on the doorstep. Fun games room. Property agent issues but once we got hold of Mark our problems were quickly sorted.

This was our 2nd time using the house as it’s so perfect for large group gatherings. 17 of us and plenty of space. On using the oven we remembered from the last visit that it’s not great and takes forever to cook the food. Other minor issues are a fridge door which often jams and the bathrooms/drains bit smelly on arrival. Otherwise it is a great house with comfy beds. Location perfect for nice walks and access to shops. Recommend the fishχps from Dave’s and a lovely curry from Labone.

This property is absolutely superb for a family reunion. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped, nothing we needed was missing, and there was plenty of cutlery and crockery. Plenty of comfortable seating and a huge dining table! Views from property and access to beach both brilliant. All round winner!

Not the first nor hopefully the last time we stay. We booked for a belated Xmas get together and it did not disappoint. A great seating area for us all to eat and play games along with the relaxing lounge area too. Oh and the view….. stunning!

We have stayed at this property on a few occasions always at Christmas and have always had a good time, the property is well equipped for the number of us and a great location, we did find the cooker took a long time to get things done but we put things in earlier so got used to that the only other thing was that he drains in top floor Bathrooms were quite smelly at times, other than that another great stay.

We had a lovely weekend at Queen marys house in sheringham, the house was clean and spacious, it had all the facilities we could require and the location was beautiful

A lot of my family work in retail, so as we live miles apart it is so hard for us to get together at Christmas so we always have an early family Christmas weekend. All 20 of us had a great weekend and had plenty of room to move around without being on top of one another it was so good we are thinking about doing it again next year. The property was nice and roomy just a little problem with the oven, to took forever to cook which meant we was trying to cook our Christmas dinner all day, may be the thermostat needs checking but overall we all had a good time.

We were quite a diverse family group of all ages but were able to arrange ourselves, in nice family groupings, as well as singles and couples in this large property. There is ample room to spread out and the facilities are very good; plenty of toilets and bathrooms and a very good sized kitchen, plenty of equipment.

We have just enjoyed a wonderful week at Queen Mary's House, all 18 of us crossing 3 generations and ample room for everyone as well as the dog!
The house was lovely and clean with fresh bed linen and stunning sea views. We really appreciated the double oven for cooking family meals as well as the two fridges and dishwashers! The children enjoyed the top floor games room too. - a most comfortable and practical house for a large family group.
The house has a prime position overlooking the sea and right next to Beestons Bump - great for the runners in our family! Sheringham has so much to offer and we enjoyed many beach walks in the October sunshine. Many thanks from us all.
Donna, Duncan and family.

Perfect house for a large family gathering. Bright, light with stunning sea views. Child friendly with everything you need to care for a crowd. The most sensibly equipped house for a family stay I’ve ever visited. Thank you for the perfect venue to celebrate my birthday.

Great position - perfect for beach and town.
Sea views to die for .
Well stocked with crockery and cutlery. Plenty of seating around the table and sofas.
Only one comment - there is a big old chair that looks out of place with the modern decor and it is not very clean !
The room would look much better without it.
Thank you ,however, for a great stay - we would not hesitate to return.

Once again we have had a great stay . Lots of space for all the family only eleven of us this time, we have had twenty off us stay comfortably in this hoilday home before. Close to the beach and town so you can walk. Lots of places to visit near by. Easy to travel to by car only parking spaces for two cars outside the front door but plenty of street parking, walking distance from the railway station The people are very friendly. Will go back again.

Second time here. Lovely big house
Lovely big house and kitchen facilities are great for big parties. Freezer could’ve done with a defrost and both dishwashers needed rinse aid which we purchased and filled. Nice to have basics provided to start you off. Don’t know how long the cleaners are given to clean inbetween guests but found a dead fly and spider on the floor of one bedroom. Lovely to have the beds made up and hand towels provided in the bathrooms. Could do with more tea towels in the kitchen. Couldn’t find any kitchen scissors so bought a couple of pairs and have left them there. Have already booked for next year and really looking forward to it.
Could do with the tv signal being looked at as most of the time you could not watch anything in the evening.
