Situated in a peaceful residential area, Skimming Stones offers a very warm welcome to families or friends looking for a coastal property to relax and unwind in. A much-loved holiday home where the owner has made lots of happy family memories, it offers a well-equipped kitchen, a light and airy dining space and two living rooms, one with a gas fired wood burner effect stove and both with TVs, giving lots of places to relax when you are not on the town’s beautiful beach. With three bedrooms and a large sofa bed in one of the sitting rooms (for alternative sleeping), this lovely house is just perfect for six guests and has been furnished and decorated to provide light, airy and stylish accommodation. There is also a lovely south-west facing garden with a sitting out area to enjoy, which is a great space for breakfast and dinner alike.
Just footsteps from the beach and the town centre, you will be delighted to discover lots of boutique and artisan shops, cafés, inns, restaurants and bars, all very easily accessible on foot. There really is something for everyone, from seafood restaurants to ethnic eateries and real ale pubs, to lively bistro inns so whatever your tastes or pockets you are unlikely to be disappointed. Of course, the biggest draw here is the wide sand and shingle beach which is waiting to be explored. Build some sandcastles, while building memories, take a paddle along the shore, enjoy some wild swimming while working on your tan, or head out for an off-season blustery beach walk and blow the cobwebs away. Don’t miss a trip on the Poppy Line which chugs along the coast. It really is a must do, as is Sheringham Park with its 1,000 acres of diverse natural habitats. There is also a mainline train station in Sheringham, so if you’d like a rest from driving, hop aboard and explore Cromer, Wroxham or even the fine city of Norwich. After a busy day exploring, head back to Skimming Stones and enjoy a sundowner in the garden or snuggle up by the gas wood burner. Just perfect, whatever the season!

We had a lovely week at Skimming Stones August 26 .The house has everything you could possibly need on holiday with extras like surf boards sun umbrellas to borrow. Games to play books to read. Beds are comfy and the bonus of using the downstairs extension room as an extra Bedroom with the sofa bed as we had a teenager who didn't want to sleep in the bunk bed room with his younger sister. The enclosed garden is nice to sit out and eat breakfast in . We managed to park one of our cars right outside the house and another just on the next street. This is our 2nd stay at this house and we would definitely stay again so close to centre of town and the beach

We had a relaxing comfortable stay.The cottage had everything you needed.Beds were comfortable, linen high quality as were the towels.Close to the shops. Pub at the end of the road.Parking a pain, but we took an overnight bag then Sunday morning brought the car from the car park took in our cases and returned car to carpark.We would have booked Skimming stones for next year but informed they are not renting it out next year.

Our second visit but certainly not our last. Skimming Stones is a lovely property, very clean and nicely maintained. The house is furnished tastefully and has a really homely vibe. The host provided everything a family could possibly need to live comfortably. The oven is amazing to cook on and the kitchen very well equipped.My son enjoyed playing on the WiiU and all the games that were provided. There was even a sketch book and colouring pencils, and board games, and plenty of books and dvd’s. Young kids would be delighted to find lots of toys in the small bedroom wardrobe. We were grateful for the lovely welcome pack of snacks and milk, and apple juice, all local produce.The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with plenty of storage space.Lovely little garden, but we didn’t use it due to it being October and not the warmest weather.Location is perfect, a very short walk to all amenities.Communication with the host is easy and pleasant. All in all a perfect holiday home with lots of added extras to make it that little bit more special. Thank you so much Victoria for the use of your lovely home.
