The space
With workspace, high-speed Wi-Fi and unlimited strolls along the seafront, Cliff Cottage, Sheringham, provides the ideal place to settle in and stay awhile.

A bright seaside cottage that is fully furnished and move-in ready:

• Ideal for a couple, with space to spare
• Double (first floor) + twin beds (ground floor)
• Ground floor bathroom + walk-in shower
• Private courtyard garden
• Fantastic location overlooking coast

White walls, coastal maps and nautical prints create a breezy, seaside feel. In the kitchen find everything you need for rustling-up meals and an oval table for four. Climb upstairs to a sunlit double and, on the ground-floor, there's more space in the snug twin. Open up the sliding living room door to the courtyard garden, and relax.

Cliff Cottage is the perfect space to remote-work, to really focus on something big, to stargaze from the courtyard garden, or to snuggle-up with a loved one inside.

Life in Sheringham revolves around the sea. You’re at the heart of Norfolk’s seaside, with big skies and sandy beaches. Explore the Norfolk coast and take to the glorious coastal path. It runs for miles in both directions, as it climbs the cliffs to Beeston Hill, from where the Norfolk landscape unfolds.

Read Sebastian Faulks' 'Birdsong' novel or listen to Ralph Vaughan Williams' 'A Sea Symphony', and it is clear that the author and composer drew inspiration from this beautiful location.

Only a short walk to the beach, Cliff Cottage provides the perfect place for you to escape, recharge and explore.

Neighbourhood highlights

In between the ice cream and fish and chip shops, Sheringham's streets are full of proper, useful stores. There's a brace of butchers, a greengrocer, old-fashioned bakers, such as Craft Bakery and the Bakehouse Sheringham, and the endlessly useful ironmonger, Blyth & Wright. There's an outdoor market every Saturday and also on Wednesdays between April and November. Cliff Cottage is within easy walking distance to the town and to essential shops, like Tesco and Sainsbury's.

Grab Tex Mex at Guac&Mole, dirty fries at Fat Teds Streat Food, seafood at Fishmongers' Tavern and wood-fired pizzas from Stubby's (order a takeaway or eat in at the revamped restaurant). For something fancier, there's Nepalese cuisine at The Bank or inventive seasonal menus at No. 10. When the sun is shining (and it’s not too windy), there's no better spot for a hearty breakfast overlooking the sea than at the Whelk Coppers Tearoom. Thinking locals love The Crown pub and its Monday quiz nights.

Sheringham is our sweet spot on the Norfolk coast: a proper, year-round place that’s smarter than the down-at-heel resorts to the east and more affordable than the Prosecco ghettos to the west. Where else will you find Morris dancing, a heritage steam railway and an annual Viking festival that concludes with the burning of a longship?

There is a serious social scene. Many of the pubs and restaurants hold music nights - the Sheringham Shantymen get top billing - while the Sheringham Little Theatre punches above its weight, offering plays, film screenings, musical tributes, drama and cabaret, as well as monthly jazz and family events. There’s the new state-of-the-art Reef Leisure Centre and endless opportunities for walks. Highlights include the National Trust-run Sheringham Park, with miles of hilly countryside covered with gorse and purple heather., and offers superb sea views; and Beeston Bump, infamous as the lair of Black Shuck, the ghostly red-eyed dog that inspired Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes mystery, ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’.

It’s no mystery why Sheringham’s two blue flag beaches are so cherished - children love fishing in the rock pools at low tide and if you go snorkelling on calm days in late July and early August, when the sediment drops, you can see the aquatic life of the north Norfolk chalk reef, thought to be the biggest in Europe. Surfers can enjoy some of the best waves on the east coast (book lessons at Glide Surf School in nearby Cromer) and the wild swimmers are at it in all weathers, not only at New Year. The local swimmers’ group - the Sheringham and North Norfolk Bluetits - has 1,900 members on FB - and those in the know warm-up afterwards in a wood-fired sauna at Saunabox, a converted horse trailer on the East Promenade.

Read Sebastian Faulks' 'Birdsong' novel or listen to Ralph Vaughan Williams' 'A Sea Symphony' and it is clear that they drew inspiration from this cheerful and beautiful town of Sheringham.

My work: Sheringham Salt
I spend too much time: Tidying my driveway
Cliff Cottage, Sheringham, is owned by Hannah Wessely. My home is Beeston Hills Lodge, where I live with my 11-yo daughter, Florence, and two tabby cats. In fact, we live just next door to Cliff Cottage, since this property adjoins our home; and this means that, by day and night, we’re on hand to help. We love where we live here in the seaside town of Sheringham, with sandy beaches, big skies and breathtaking views over the North Sea.
