About this property
Crab cottage: Detached house with sea views
Crab Cottage is the perfect venue for a family beach holiday in Sheringham.
Located on a quiet road in East Sheringham, it’s a three-minute walk to the beach, and a mere five minutes to Sheringham town centre – known for its old-fashioned seaside atmosphere and thriving independent shops, encompassing everything from traditional sweet shops to fish’n’chips, penny arcades, cafés, and even a working steam railway!
Crab Cottage has recently been redecorated, and we’ve done our best to think of everything you could wish for on your family holiday.
There is a small, enclosed garden at the back of the house with excellent sea views (and it’s sheltered – perfect for barbecues!), off-street parking for two cars, an open-plan living/dining area, and a separate kitchen. There’s even a gas fire and a few board games, making this a great choice for cosy winter breaks as well as summer holidays.
You’ll find more information about our facilities below, but if there’s anything else you’d like to know, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

About the host
Hosted by Mark Cloutman
We first went on holiday to Sheringham with our four children in 1994 and loved its unspoiled character. We bought a holiday home there in 2005 and the opportunity to purchase Queen Mary House followed in 2007 and then Crab Cottage in 2015. We were knocked out by the position looking directly out to sea - as are all of the visitors to Seacliff. We love visiting Sheringham and the nearby coastline with opportunities to mess about in boats and then come "home" to all the facilities in Sheringham and the friends that we have made locally.
We are always available to contact during your stay and have local help to cover most situations.
