  We were very disappointed with the cottage.

  It was far from the high standard we usually receive when we book with Sykes. 1. The bathroom was in a poor decorative condition. The radiator was rusty and did not always heat up. The bathroom itself seemed dated and not in good condition. Surfaces had not been cleaned and the shower cubicle had discoloured grout. The toiletry holder in the shower was also rusty. 2. There was obviously a problem with the heating system. When it came on it was very noisy and the radiators did not always heat up. On the last morning we woke up we had no heating or hot water. This was remedied by early afternoon. 3. We used the washing machine, but our clothes came out with black bits on them. On closer inspection we could see that water had collected in the seals and the machine had not been maintained. 4. The outside area had not been prepared for visitors. The outside dryer had algae on it, as did the table for sitting out. The area where the table was situated had not been cleared of moss and weeds. We had a period of good weather before and during our visit so would have liked to have made more use of this. The cottage was spacious for two people but lacked the care and attention to make a comfortable holiday property.

  “Scrimshaw Cottage is in a brilliant location, close to the beach, shops, pubs and restaurants of Sheringham. For location, it is probably one of the best we have ever stayed in. It is a lovely cottage, perfectly set up for two people and we really enjoyed our stay there. The sea views are lovely, even on a bad day. Although there is no parking, it is not a problem as there is free roadside parking a five minute walk away or you can buy a weekly pass on the car parks for &pound;28. The car park right next to the cottage doesn&#39;t offer weekly passes (but the machine always seemed to be broken - we didn&#39;t risk parking there!)<br /> There are lots of good places to eat and drink in Sheringham and plenty of takeaways too. It is a lovely place to spend time and we would love to go back there in the future.”

  “Lovely week at Scrimshaw Cottage. My wife and I - both retired - spent a really fantastic week at Scrimshaw Cottage, our first holiday since lockdown. I very much hope this review provides some useful insights into what to expect in having such a lovely time. We&#39;d seen the photos of the cottage on the Keys site and are delighted to report that it was as gorgeous as we&#39;d hoped from those pictures, whilst the wine and milk was an added bonus: many thanks!! We also knew from the pics that there wasn&#39;t a shower: the bath was lovely, but we felt a shower would have made the cottage idyllic for a couple.<br /> We have already been recommending Scrimshaw to our friends!!!”

  This cottage was in a beautiful, idyllic and tranquil setting, away from the world.

  Birdsong and the occasional rumble of trains on the Bure Valley railway- a 5 minute walk away up a narrow lane -was all we heard. We spent our holiday cycling down traffic free country lanes and walking along the path beside the train. Moonlight cottage is centrally situated for exploring Norfolk although it was too hot for us to do that. We walked to the river Bure and enjoyed pub lunches nearby. Would highly recommend hiring a day boat to see the nearby Broads. The cottage itself was well equipped for a self catering holiday, and spotlessly clean. We wouldn’t hesitate to return.

  “As usual fab holiday in Sherringham &amp; stay in Scrimshaw Cottage - our 4th in this property. The cottage is well positioned for the beach, shops, cafes &amp; pubs and is a great find - good value &amp; really comfy &#128526;<br /> Unfortunately this will be our last stay in this cottage - the change over day has changed to a Friday &amp; 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.<br /> ”
