About this property
A charming fisherman’s end-terrace flint cottage set over two floors and located in the vibrant traditional seaside town of Sheringham, Norfolk. Captain's Cottage is a romantic bolthole for a couple seeking to escape for hustle and bustle of everyday life, and located only a short walk from the beach and Blue Flag seafront, this property is the perfect choice for those wanting a traditional seaside holiday with all that Sheringham has to offer. Admire the traditional charm of the exterior before being welcomed into the open-plan living room, enjoying contemporary furnishings, which complement the exposed brick and the characterful woodburning stove.
The kitchen is well-equipped for catering delicious meal for you and your partner, before settling down at the dining table, placed in front of the window, allowing you to watch the world go by as you tuck in. Accompanying the space is the sitting area, where you can sink into the plush sofa after an action-packed day and tune into the TV with a Blu-ray DVD player, with the crackling woodburning stove filling the room with warmth during a winter’s evening. Continuing to impress is the property’s only bedroom, complete with a king-size bed, freestanding bath and luxurious, modern walk in shower, ideal for a relaxing soak before snuggling under the crisp white sheets and waking up to the immaculate interior design each morning.
Outside there is a small terrace where you can catch the morning sun and enjoy a drink or partake in some alfresco dining, perhaps enjoying some of the locally caught seafood landed that morning? Just a few steps takes you to the extensive sandy beach, or into the vibrant town which offers a wide range of traditional seaside amusements, a number of pubs and a diverse range of shops, cafes and restaurants. You can take a steam train to the popular local villages of Weybourne and Holt, or perhaps take a trip to visit one of a number of local stately homes, including Sheringham Park, Felbrigg Hall and Blickling Hall.
With the stunning north Norfolk coastline on your doorstep offering sandy and pebble beaches, local boat trips to see the seals, bird watching at the local RSPB Reserve, and so many things to see and do, there is something for everyone to enjoy whilst staying at this lovely cottage.
Sheringham was once a a small fishing village on the North Norfolk coast, but today it stands as a popular holiday town, which has awarded ten consecutive European Blue Flags for cleanliness for its beach. Here, you can enjoy walking along the East or West promenades, as well as exploring the vast array of amenities, including a 'Little Theatre', open all year round, seaside gardens with seating, a model boating lake, shops, tea rooms, steam railway, golfing, amusement arcades, and fish & chip shops.

Stephen
The owner's even put up a Christmas Tree and decorations , which was very thoughtful and made it feel very Christmasy . The owners also provided Coffee , Tea , Biscuits and Milk for our arrival . The log burner made our stay feel very cosy. The roll top bath in the bedroom , gave the cottage a luxurious feel. The cottage was tastefully furnished and decorated and it made it feel like home. We would recommend staying at the Captains cottage for its location.

It was very clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Would definitely go again. This could easily be a 5 star property but some items mentioned in previous reviews need addressing. Most important the cooking utensils need replacing especially the rusty saucepans. Also fridge freezer door broken, only one half of the toaster working and the DAB radio doesn't work.
