Love this place, spacious and comfortable. Nice and warm as well, with a bathtub and log stove seeing good use. Very close to all facilities and quiet. The lighting and decor are very attractive. I expect to be back!

Great location in Sheringham but the on road parking was a bit of a challenge, with very limited availability. The cottage was very warm and welcoming. Although spacious, it was furnished and decorated to provide a lovely homely feel. Very well equipped. Lovely conservatory and garden.
