Thoroughly enjoyed our few days there every thing we needed was there the only minor downside being parking.we managed to park within walking distance in nearby roads most of the time but there is a car park two minutes walk away where you can purchase a weeks parking permit for £46 which might be advisable especially in peak season

Lovely and close to everything you could need... sun. sea x shops... One big problem ... The parking... according to the add.. you can get a permit to park at the tourist centre EXCEPT ITS BEEN CLOSED FOR 6 YEARS... YOU HAVE T GO ON LINE AND IT TAKES 4 DAYS TO COME... SO WE PAID FOR TICKETS... WE COULD NOT RELAX IN THE MORNINGS BECAUSE WE HAD TO RUSH OUT TO PUT a ticket on the car we had to decide if we were going out and it we were staying in ... so inconvenient... basically ruined Our holiday... could not come and go always buying tickets... so We won't be back ... I recommend you come on the Bus or Train ... To stay at Kittiwake

Our 7th visit to Kittiwake our home from home. Beautiful little house close to the beach (1 minute walking). Clean and comfortable perfect for a family. Sheringham is a very special place and has everything one could want for a holiday. Beaches, shops, steam trains, sunshine in October for us every year. I have booked again for next year.
