Guests say
Driftwood House in Sheringham offers a comfortable stay with its spacious rooms, comfy beds, and lovely garden. Its proximity to the sea, shops, and transport links makes it an ideal location. The property is well-loved and equipped, providing a homely feel, though some areas could benefit from updates and a deep clean.
Guests have mentioned the need for a thorough deep clean and pointed out issues such as rubbish in bins and hairs in the bath. However, the presence of fluffy towels and a generally warm atmosphere suggests moderate cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for being close to the sea, shops, and transport links, making it an excellent spot for visitors looking to explore Sheringham and enjoy the local amenities.
The property is repeatedly described as comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds and a snug conservatory. Some guests suggested improvements like blackout curtains for better sleep quality.
Facilities like the well-equipped kitchen and the stove are appreciated, but there are comments about tired utensils, a small shower cubicle, and the need for maintenance. The garden and conservatory are highlights.
While guests appreciate the size and decor of the rooms, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness. Therefore, it's not possible to assess this category.

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…

The cottage had some positives and also need for improvements. It could do with a thorough deep clean, crockery needs replacing as very old and tired. Small luxuries mising- nice throws/ cushions/ candles etc. No welcome items available not even a drop of milk Positives- Excellent location. Lovely size with lovely rooms but badly needs updating. Comfortable beds and bed linen and lovely fluffy towels. Just a fresh lick of paint, a good clean and some small luxury items would make a huge difference. The whole cottage needs some love and attention and it would then be perfect!
