Excellent accommodation for two.

First class accommodation in Sherringham which is a very clean and tidy town. The accommodation is only a few meters away from the sea front and close to all local amenities.

Relaxing & Close to Sea

The cottage was very quirky but cosy and comfortable. The accommodation was well equipped with a welcome bottle of wine , tea , coffee , milk and biscuits supplied. I thought this a lovely touch. Would highly recommend this place to stay. I will definitely be returning.

Absolutely lovely

What a fabulous little cottage! Absolutely immaculate and with everything you could possibly need for your stay. It has a lovely 'feel' as soon as you walk in, and is extremely comfortable from the sofas to the bed. The position of the cottage is perfect with everything so close by.. shops, pubs, restaurants etc, yet tucked away slightly. It was so lovely to be able to see the sea from every window and to be so close to it. As mentioned in other reviews, the stairs are fairly steep but there are only 7 of them and another 2 at the bottom going into the kitchen are usual size. There is a small car park for around 20 cars out to the side of the cottage which we used as we were there for 3 days we paid the £8.70 for 24hrs and nipped out to renew it, but as per other reviews there is plenty of free parking around if you want. We were there at the end of September but I imagine during peak season it would be a lot busier. We were very sad to leave the cottage and have every intention of re-booking for more visits.

3rd visit

This was our 3rd stay at Scrimshaw Cottage and we love the location with its sea views. Some nice new touches since last time in the new kitchen. It is a perfect place to stay for two. The parking is not an issue as there is a car park next door but we park on the streets for free a few minutes walk away after unloading. I am sure we will be back

Lovely Cottage in perfect location

Excellent location and beautifully decorated cottage. Two Smart TVs were a welcome addition which most cottages don't have. A welcome pack was much appreciated together with the comprehensive summary of things to see and do within the local area.

A lovely comfortable cottage

We had a really enjoyable stay in Scrimshaw Cottage. Very comfortable furniture and beds and all very well furnished. The kitchen was modern and very well equipped. The situation was brilliant, being only a few yards from the sea wall, pubs/restaurants and the main shopping streets. Thank you.

Scrimshaw

As usual fab holiday in Sherringham & stay in Scrimshaw Cottage - our 4th in this property. The cottage is well positioned for the beach, shops, cafes & pubs and is a great find - good value & really comfy Unfortunately this will be our last stay in this cottage - the change over day has changed to a Friday & this is totally unsuitable, meaning an extra day of leave as unable to get to Sherringham after work. A real shame as we love this little cottage.

It was like coming home

This is our third visit to Scrimshaw Cottage, it is fast becoming our go to place for a few days away. I can't recommend it highly enough, it's spotlessly clean, nicely furnished, a super bathroom and well equipped kitchen. Apart from being right next to the sea, it's handy for the shops, eateries and walks along the promenade.
