Guests appreciate the dog-friendly environment and secure garden. While some maintenance issues have been noted, recent feedback suggests improvements have been made.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently note the cottage as one of the cleanest they've stayed in, with no recent reports of cleanliness issues.

The cottage's proximity to local amenities and the beach is highly valued, along with its quiet setting, making the location nearly ideal.

The property is described as cosy with a comfortable bed and sofa. However, some guests experienced issues with maintaining a comfortable temperature during winter.

Facilities have been a point of contention, particularly the shower and heating. Recent reviews suggest that the shower has been replaced and is functioning well, indicating attention to maintenance.

There is no mention of gifts or additional thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

About this property

Resting centrally in the East Anglian town of Sheringham in Norfolk is Lobster Pot Cottage, a delightful, two-bedroom dwelling. Located paces away from a hub of shops and eateries, and within walking distance to the beach, Lobster Pot Cottage offers the ideal base for a seascape, inviting four guests and one furry companion. Park up to the nearby roadside before travelling on foot to the cottage, entering through the enclosed front patio, and reaching its charming, stable door. Be welcomed into the spacious open-plan living area, the true heart of the home, where you can prepare delectable meals in the well-equipped kitchen, dine as a group, and unwind with the TV for some light entertainment; the space oozes a homely feel, complete with nautical accessories, reflecting its surrounding. If you'd prefer to dine under the sunlight, set the bistro table and enjoy an alfresco affair upon the patio with a glass of wine in hand. Catch some rest in one of the two bedrooms on offer, including a well-appointed king-size and a handy bunk room, before awakening to a refreshing shower in the sleek, ground-floor shower room. Prepare for your coming days before heading to Sheringham Beach or the local boating lake for stunning vistas, ahead of grabbing a bite to eat at The Two Lifeboats, Whelk Coppers Tea Rooms, or the Windham Arms; in the area, you'll also locate the North Norfolk Railway, where you can board one of its steam trains and explore the area, and Sheringham Golf Club, ideal for golf fanatics. Remain at the coast, reaching Cromer, its bustling pier and golden shoreline, or head to the Amazona Zoo, before exploring the Norfolk Coast AONB some more. End your break in the city, offering the opportunity to tour Norwich Cathedral, discover The Plantation Garden, or attend one of the many shows offered at the Norwich Theatre Royal, before returning home for supper. Enjoy all of this at Lobster Pot Cottage.

Sheringham began as a little fishing community on the coast of North Norfolk, but after the railroads arrived there in 1887, it flourished and developed into a well-liked holiday destination. Sheringham has received accolades from Britain in Bloom, Anglia in Bloom, and Best Coastal Resort in addition to 10 consecutive European Blue Flags for the cleanliness of its beach. Enjoy strolling along the East or West promenades, which have a beach with a silver-pebbled shoreline leading to golden beaches with rock pools and streams adjacent to ochre cliffs, local fishing boats, and an rlni lifeboat station with museum, as well as sea vistas with blue skies and red sunsets.

    There was no odour from the sink and the new shower worked well. The weather for our stay in January was very cold, but we could maintain a comfortable temperature in the cottage. The cottage is small but comfortable, clean and well equipped. We were pleased to learn that Sheringham remains a lively town even in the middle of winter. We enjoyed our stay.

    Perfect for a few days stay and was exactly as described. We were a party of 2 adults, 2 children (14 and 10) and 2 labradoodles. We would definitely stay again. Our only issue was the shower, it was either scolding hot or freezing cold, no inbetween. But that could also have been user error? We’re not sure? LOL. Overall, it was very good. We’ve stayed in a few houses in Sheringham over the years and this is now one of our favourites. Very clean too!

    It was very cold although there were electric radiators we kept on it didn't reach a comfortable temperature for a winter stay. Shower unit was dangerous; tried various settings but it was either scalding hot or cold with very poor flow. Sad to say we came home early as it just wasn't suitable for our Christmas break.
