About this property

Ideally located period cottage with parking.

Old Schoolyard Cottage is a charming brick and flint period cottage with a character all of it's own. The cottage sleeps a maximum of four people in two well-proportioned bedrooms but guests should be aware that the stairs are quite steep. Downstairs, the dining room linking the lounge and kitchen and gives ample space for families to spread out.
The cottage is ideally situated being a few moments' walk from the beach and High Street, making daily trips to the local shops a pleasure and yet within minutes you can be on the coastal path or on the cliffs high above the town.
There is off-road parking for one car, on the concrete pad in front of the cottage and a long-stay car park 100 meters up Cliff Road for additional vehicles or visitors.
Free WiFi is available. Linen is provided but guests are asked to bring their own towels. The cottage has gas central heating and fitted carpets throughout, except for the bathroom and kitchen, and UPVC double glazing. The tourist information folders are updated each year and a selection of books, DVDs and board games is available. The rear porch area houses a spin drier, freezer, beach chairs and a windbreak but is also suitable for storing bikes etc.
We regret we are not able to accept pets. Smoking is not permitted inside the property. Short breaks are not available in July/August.

About the host

Hosted by Jane Fisher

Host profile image
My husband, John, and I live in Norwich. John is a native of the county and I moved here when we married over forty years ago. We bought Old Schoolyard Cottage – so named because it stands on the site adjacent to the former infant school – when our son was two and we spent many idyllic family holidays here when our children were young. We have so many happy memories of sandcastle building, watching the Carnival procession and doing the Treasure Hunt in local shop windows, exploring the station and riding the steam trains... Now the children are in their thirties and bringing their own children we are doing it all over again with our grandchildren! We never tire of Sheringham and the magic of the North Norfolk coast and still use the cottage ourselves when we can.

Why they chose this property

Sheringham is simply great for a traditional family seaside holiday or indeed as a base for exploring the North Norfolk coast or heading inland to the Broads. The town itself is delightful and unspoilt, with lots of independent shops and a market on Saturdays (and Wednesdays in the summer).
There is so much to do and see locally - the North Norfolk Steam Railway, the Little Theatre, Hillside Animal Sanctuary with it's heavy horses, the Priory Maze and Gardens, the Reef Leisure Complex, the Muckleburgh Collection of World War Two vehicles, the breathtaking views and stunning rhododendron walks in the National Trust's Sheringham Park and the Trust's other properties at Felbrigg and Blickling.
A seal trip from Blakeney is a treat not to be missed nor a visit to Pensthorpe Wildlife Centre. or the Thursford Collection of steam engines.

What makes this property unique

Most of our guests comment on the ideal location of the cottage. Everything that Sheringham has to offer is literally on your doorstep! The beach, coastal path, shops, supermarket, the Little Theatre, two children's playgrounds, North Norfolk Railway, pitch and put, Priory Maze and gardens and the many varied pubs, restaurants, cafes and tea shops are all just a few minutes walk away.
We just love being able to bring the children off the beach, dripping wet and covered in sand, and straight into a hot shower!
The cottage has the huge benefit of off-road parking right in front and a long stay car park 50m up Cliff Road for additional vehicles or guests. The cottage is easily reached by public transport too as the main line station, direct to Norwich, is just five minutes' walk away at the top of the High Street.
