Built in the 1950s by a local family who also built fishing boats for the community, this imaginatively updated getaway enjoys a fantastic location close to the seafront and makes a fantastic holiday home for families, couples and friends eager to explore a beautiful part of Norfolk. Situated in the heart of the picturesque resort of Sheringham, the property offers stylishly designed reverse-level accommodation for six guests, with ample room for a canine pal. Full of character and quirky features, this unique former boathouse has been lovingly renovated, with wooden beams, exposed stonework and a balcony overlooking the village, making it a fantastic base for discovering the area’s gorgeous coastline and tranquil countryside.

Head upstairs into the light, spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner occupying the first floor. Featuring a high vaulted veiling with exposed timber beams, wooden flooring and an exposed stone wall, this is an ideal space for relaxing in at the end of a great day. The airy lounge is ideal for sitting back and enjoying a movie, and there’s a sociable dining space to the rear of the room, with a stylish, fully equipped kitchen to the side. Downstairs, there’s a pretty family bathroom and two delightful nautical-themed bedrooms, both with beamed ceilings: a cheerful double and a cosy family room with a king-size bed and bunk beds. Sliding doors open from the lounge onto a sweet enclosed patio with a table and chairs, providing a perfect spot for an evening meal as your pet lies by your side.

Excellent position in Sherringham including for parking but only for one car on premises not two. Lots to do within very easy access, including shopping and eating. We expected a better welcome pack including fresh milk and felt a slight refresh of some items in the property was due.

This was our first visit to Sheringham & on viewing/booking 'The Boat House' we were not disappointed with our accommodation. It certainly has the 'WOW' factor from pulling up outside, to entering the property & reaching the top of the stairs to the lounge area, which is an excellent open space with plenty of light flooding in through the balconyRead more doors. This just draws you to the Balcony which is great place for 'people watching', especially as were here for the 1940's weekend. The location is perfect & has the added bonus of it's own parking spot. We loved our time here, so much so that we have booked a return in September 2025 Hide

Pleasant and roomy holiday cottage, benefiting from views of the sea via spacious balcony. Nice location for access to town and seafront. Recommend steam train to Holt. Bonus was parking underneath.
