Boasting a new kitchen area, new first floor bathroom, three bedrooms, two living areas (one with a log burner), a conservatory and a lovely private garden, there is much to love about this spacious property. Sheringham is highly sought-after and offers lots of unique places to shop, eat and drink which are all easily accessible by foot. It also boasts a wide sand and shingle beach and is home to the beautiful 1,000-acre Sheringham Park and the nostalgic North Norfolk Railway.
The town itself hosts many events throughout the year including the Viking festival, beer festival, 40s weekend and Sheringham carnival week. Being on a main railway line, you can hop aboard and travel to Cromer, Wroxham and Norwich. If you can tear yourself away from this lovely town you can go east or west to discover salt and clay marshes, pretty beaches, rolling sand dunes and picturesque quays. Head to Blakeney and partake in a spot of crabbing or take a seasonal boat trip to see the seals.
Travel a little further and discover Wells-next-the-Sea which offers a host of instant-opportunities, including painted beach huts and a much-photographed quay.

The gateway to the Norfolk Broads is 45 minutes away by car or just over half an hour by train. Here, you can charter your own day launch or join a tour and explore these magnificent waterways. If that gives you a taste for wildlife, head to Pensthorpe Nature Reserve or rspb Cley Marshes, which are also within easy reach. There are many great places to eat locally, something of a must after all that sea air which really does make you hungry. Then you can return to Driftwood House to relax and have a great night’s sleep…

We love Driftwood House we have already booked for next year, However we have booked this for the last 3 years and note there was little in the way of cleaning equipment, could do with a few more. Only gripe is the WiFi there was none available throughout the week the same as last year. We are not ones who are literally stuck to our phones but at times this is needed. The games TV also seems a waste of time. Still must like it as we have booked again

Driftwood House is a lovely house and garden in the center of Sheringham within easy walking distance of the coast. There are good pubs and places to eat, favourites were Guac&Mole and the Salt Cafe, both on the promenade. Some reviews mentioned car parking being an issue which it was not, we could park outside or very nearby.

Love this place, spacious and comfortable. Nice and warm as well, with a bathtub and log stove seeing good use. Very close to all facilities and quiet. The lighting and decor are very attractive. I expect to be back!
