You will also be just a short walk from Sheringham’s thriving town centre. Two seasons, two holidays, at Stones Throw Cottage you can enjoy two completely different holidays in one location. In summer, wake to bright skies, enjoy a morning swim in the calm blue sea, and spend your days on the wide sandy beach before dining al fresco or exploring the vibrant town. In winter, experience the drama of windswept cliff-top walks, crashing waves against the promenade, stormy skies, and cosy nights inside while the sea spray hits the windows. Both seasons are unforgettable, offering two unique holidays in the very same place.
Completely renovated in 2022, this charming fisherman’s cottage blends modern comfort with traditional character. It features a spacious kitchen/dining area, a cosy living room with comfortable seating, and a snug attic room, perfect for reading, relaxing, or simply listening to the waves. The real highlight is the uninterrupted sea view. From the terrace, watch the sun rise and set over the water or step outside and in under a minute be swimming in the North Sea. Return for a hot shower and a warm drink, then enjoy breakfast on the terrace as the waves sparkle in the morning sun. In the evening, relax with a glass of wine and stargaze in tranquillity, far from city lights.
Sheringham is a much-loved seaside town with award-winning beaches, a new leisure centre and pool, cliff-top golf, and woodland walks. Its high street is filled with boutique shops, cafés, restaurants, and inns all just a short stroll from the cottage so you could dine out every night and always find something new. The beach itself is wide and sandy, ideal for summer sunbathing or bracing winter walks. The town also hosts popular events, from the 1940s weekend and Viking Festival to a lively summer carnival. Nearby, Sheringham Park offers a thousand acres of woodland and coastal scenery, while the heritage steam railway gives a nostalgic way to explore the coast. The mainline train station links to Cromer and Norwich, and by car you can reach the Norfolk Broads or explore salt marshes, rolling dunes, and picturesque quays. Attractions close by include Cromer Pier, Bewilderwood, the Thursford and Muckleburgh Collections, Pensthorpe Nature Reserve, and rspb reserves. Historic estates such as Felbrigg, Blickling, Holkham, Houghton, and Sandringham are also within easy reach, as well as East Ruston Old Vicarage Garden.
With so much to do, you’ll find yourself planning a return visit just to fit it all in.

We stayed at Stones Throw Cottage, Sheringham between 20th - 27th December last year. Three Adults, one Teenager and a Cockapoo. We had an amazing stay over the Christmas Period. The cottage had everything we needed and was beautifully devoted for Christmas. The owners left a welcoming basket and we even arranged for a Tesco delivery for the day after we arrived. The sound of the sea was lovely both day and night. The Cottage had an enclosed front decking so you could see the sea from the lounge window but was very private , so people could not see in. Towels and Bedding supplied and very comfortable beds. The Lounge was very cosy with a lovely electric log burner. Close to the High Street with pubs and restaurants (all very dog friendly) within easy walking distance. Thoroughly recommend.

Less than a stone's throw from the beach and the amenities: good variety of shopping, the Little Theatre, pubs for good food and beers, excellent fish and chips, hot apple Crumble and craft burger shacks, walks along the coast and a steam railway - plus Peter's Books. Settled in quickly and enjoyed a home away from home with everything we could have wanted, comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen and decorations up for Christmas too. We'll be back to see it in another season once it stops snowing.
