About this house rental

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.

So handy for walking to the beach or into town, never used the car all week. Leveraged the local trains.

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.

House was spacious open plan, with all amenities operational. Great to use as a base to view the surrounding areas and know you have no problems parking on return. A good selection of eating establishments within walking distance

House was in a great location and detached which filled our critea. It was a bit shabby on closer inspection. Cobwebby/dirty windows/grubby old utensils/unmowed lawn and overgrown shrubs/trees. Cheaply put together with no hint of indulgence or luxury. We didn't think it was very good value for money (other than location) on balance with our stays in nicer accomodation in popular places such as Devon and Cornwall. There were no bath towels provided which could have been an oversight on our part on reading what was included. However, that information was not made crystal clear. I didn't want to rate the section regarding property manager as we did not need any assistance so it would be unfair to be negative there.

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.

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.

A good location with good WiFi. A good base for the area and ideally located near to both the town and beach with almost immediate access to the north Norfolk coastal path.

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.

Bed were terrible. Beware the bunk beds are very difficult to get into. Property need a lot of re-work and modernisation. My back is still aching after only sleeping on beds for 3 nights. Will not recommend at all.

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.

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.

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.

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.

well equipped property, home from home. beds were really comfy and sofa was good for me, being quite a bit shorter than my husband! He needed a cushion to support his head when watching a film. But that is all. garden is fully enclosed. there are 2 gates in the back garden that are about 3'6" high so be aware if your dogs would jump them.

Great, very well equipped home from home holiday home. Lovely views from the garden and back bedroom and parking was a real plus. Location is perfect for walking on the beach, in land paths around the bump and it's a very short stroll into the village for cafés, bars and shops.

Amazing location for our Easter break for our family of five plus doggie. The cottage was comfortable, clean and well equipped. A few minor faults with the property (fed back to the host) but not too much of an issue for the short stay and we were mostly out and about anyway! Will be back!

This is a beautifully designed house for comfort and practical living with easy access to the sea and shops and transport to other sites. It was a lovely place to stay for two 70plus women but we felt it would be a good place for a family. Lovely conservatory, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Sadly I found the VRBO emails intrusive and unclear and much too plentiful for comfort.VRBO sent emails each day which were repetitive and unnecessary!!

Beautiful views, light bright and airy. I was staying there with my sister and her boyfriend and my husband. My mother lives in Sheringham and we decided to host a surprise party for her. Lots of open space for us all to sit, and the weather stayed sunny too so we can sit in the garden. A great location, central to the Beeston Bump and to all amenities in the high street.

Absolutely brilliant place to stay. Local to everything and such a homely house. Walkable, within 5 minutes to the town, beach and local amenities. I’ve been visiting North Norfolk and Sheringham for Decades but never stayed in this part of the town. Loved it and have booked again for 2023.

The property and outside areas are in need of some TLC. The photo of the front of the property may have looked like this a few years ago but not today. Having no carpet on the stairs makes it very noisy and not homely, can’t understand why as no dogs are allowed upstairs so no hair. The bag in the vacuum cleaner was filled to the brim with no spare. Generally well equipped and comfortable, just needs attention to tired areas mainly upstairs. Great location and very peaceful, I would stay again.
