Guests say
Sea La Vie is a well-received cottage in Sheringham, praised for its cleanliness, prime location, and comfort. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, dog-friendly amenities, and the convenience of off-street parking, despite it being tight for larger vehicles. The property is within walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants, making it an ideal holiday spot. Some guests noted the steep stairs as a consideration for those with mobility issues.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as very clean, with several reviews highlighting the cleanliness as a strong point. One guest specifically mentioned that they usually clean properties upon arrival but found this one to be perfect.
The location is highly praised for being close to the sea, shops, restaurants, and for its suitability for exploring Sheringham and Norfolk. The convenience of the location is a recurring positive theme in the reviews.
The cottage is repeatedly referred to as comfortable, cosy, and well-equipped, with comfy beds and a warm atmosphere. However, a couple of guests mentioned the steep stairs and one referred to a 'dodgy' bed, slightly impacting the comfort score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi, and dog-friendly features. However, some guests noted the parking can be challenging for larger vehicles and suggested improvements to the walkway from the parking spot to the cottage.
While guests appreciate the overall experience and mention nice touches, there is no specific reference to gifts or special items provided by the hosts that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.

Really enjoyed this holiday. The location was excellent the accommodation was excellent very clean and comfortable 5min walk into centre plenty of cafes and restaurants pubs to enjoy, beach also 5min and there is Sherringham wood 20min walk for us to take our dog so five stars 👍However if you suffer from mobility issues the stairs are quite steep so maybe an issue also if you have a large car the access to the car park might be challenging.

Sea La Vie is a lovely cottage, perfect in everyway. The owners have thought of everything. All you need to bring with you is your suitcase.It is perfectly located close to the sea, shops and restaurants. The off street parking is also big bonus. The cottage is clean, warm & cosy and very dog friendly. The owner provides a baby gate so your furry friends cannot sneak upstairs. Overall we would highly rate the cottage and we plan to return next year. Annette made us feel very welcome with great communication.
