“This was our first time staying in Sheringham and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay.”

A real home from home, with everything we needed for a perfect stay. It was the small extra touches that makes this place so special - including the access to all of the digital channels including Netflix and Prime, the well equipped kitchen with an air fryer! and the doggie treats on arrival. A Short stroll from the high street, the beach and the local bus services meant we didn’t have to drive anywhere once we had parked up outside the cottage. A real gem of a cottage and we can’t wait to ...

Fiona July 2025

“This was our first time in Norfolk and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay!”

It’s the fifth holiday cottage we’ve booked through Sykes, and definitely the best. Spotlessly clean, cosy, and really well equipped. The location in Sheringham was ideal, just a short walk to the seafront, shops, and public transport. The owners, Max and Anne, were so friendly and helpful throughout. Even with some mixed weather here and there, we had a brilliant week and are already planning to return!

- Fiona, July 2025

Thank you very much for your great feedback, both on Flint Cottage and Sheringham, we look forward to welcoming you back ! Property Owner

David February 2025

“I've stayed in many property's and this is one of the best.”

Not just the location, facilities, cleanliness, comfort and other features, but the attitude of the owners. We had an issue with one of our dogs the 1st night and the owners went above and beyond to ensure the issue was resolved and we were able to enjoy a fantastic week. This made a great week, a fantastic week.

- David, February 2025

Thank you that’s really appreciated, we were pleased to help ! Property Owner

Close to the high street and beech but on a quiet road.

- Wendy, January 2025
Julie December 2024

“A fully equipped warm comfortable cottage, quiet, but a 5 minute stroll from all the shops and eateries and 10 minutes from the promenade, would certainly return and Max and Ann are lovely to deal with.”

- Julie, December 2024

Thank you so much ! So pleased you enjoyed your Christmas break Property Owner
Joanne November 2024

“Absolutely loved our stay at Flint Cottage.”

Everything you could ever need was provided. We were 4 adults and 4 dogs who had never been to the area before. Sheringham was a lovely town and we found some amazing beaches up and down the coast. Would highly recommend to everyone!

- Joanne, November 2024

That’s fantastic to hear , we’re so pleased you all enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back ! Property Owner
Sue November 2024

“Lovely cosy home - beds very comfy and well equipped kitchen.”

So close to the shops, beach and good food pubs. Lots of local places to walk only a short drive away. Secure garden for our dog too. We’d love to come back!

- Sue, November 2024
Anthony November 2024

“We had a lovely stay at the cottage, it was very clean, warm and had a well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and a huge bathroom.”

It was very dog friendly with a lovely secure garden. Although only a few minutes walk to the centre of Sheringham, the cottage was in an extremely quiet street and we were able to park outside. We enjoyed visiting the nearby Sheringham Park, Holkham Hall, Fellbrigg Hall and Cromer. It was a great location to visit the area. We would highly recommend Flint Cottage and hope to stay again.

- Anthony, November 2024

We particularly appreciate the complimentary tea and coffee and the milk and cake when we arrive.

- Paul, October 2024

Thank you for your kind comments! We look forward to seeing you again in the future Property Owner
Russell September 2024

“As soon as you walk in through the door you feel at home with flint cottage.”

The attention to detail is top notch and even a cake and milk upon arrival. The owners have put a lot of thought into making you and your dogs stay comfortable as we certainly where. It’s had to believe your so close to the town as sitting in the garden was lovely and quiet. Our dog enjoyed the lawned garden that was a great size. Overall I would recommend flint cottage as a quality property. People have mentioned about the parking but we had no issues parking on the road.

- Russell, September 2024

Thank you very much for your kind and constructive comments which we really appreciate, we try our best to make sure Flint Cottage ( and our White Cottage next door ) are welcoming to all our guests Property Owner
Liisa August 2024

“Great location for shops, beach and public transport.”

Couldn't park in the street, it was always bumper to bumper the whole week. The cottage had everything you could possibly need. Lovely to find milk, cake, biscuits and tea/coffee upon our arrival. The cottage was clean, good WiFi and had lots of information about places to visit. The mattress in the green room was very uncomfortable. Had a lovely time, weather was great and we would stop again

- Liisa, August 2024

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide feedback which we really appreciate. Like many period seaside cottages we don’t have the benefit of our own parking, and the town can be busy in peak periods. However George Street and surrounding roads are unrestricted and we provide information on nearby council car parks which are free overnight. We are sorry the mattress was not to your liking, it was new only 2 years ago and chosen based on previous guest feedback , and we have used it ourselves. We haven’t had any other adverse comments , maybe a topper would help which we would be happy to provide if advised in advance. Thank you for all your positive comments on our cottage and Sheringham which help future guests. Property Owner
David June 2024

“We were very happy with the accommodation and intend to book again soon.”

Very conveniently situated in a quiet street not far from the town centre. Sheringham is a good centre, close to the sea, important nature reserves and National Trust properties. Friendly and helpful proprietors.

- David, June 2024
Carol April 2024

“Beautiful house very spacious, comfortable & well equipped.”

Large garden just what we look for 'a proper dog friendly property'. Only a couple of minutes walk from town but you wouldn't know this & also able to walk to beach. Would definitely recommend it's 5 star in my book.

- Carol, April 2024

Thank you we are so pleased you and the dogs enjoyed staying in our cottage , we, and Sheringham, are very dog friendly ! Property Owner
Tracey March 2024

“Absolutely delightful cottage.”

Raymond December 2023

“Excellent choice near to amenities and beach cottage very clean,everything you need for a trouble free stay.”

Spoke to Mrs Flint on leaving will book again. Will pass on information to friends and family.

Thank you very much ! Your comments much appreciated and helpful to future guests - we look forward to seeing you again Property Owner
Alisa November 2023

“A super clean and very comfortable cottage with everything you need for a relaxing break in a very pretty town.”

The little extras left in the house were especially welcome. We will definitely be looking to return.

- Alisa, November 2023
Keith May 2023

“Flint House was a lovely place to spend a week.”

The steep stairs folk mention are because of the delightfully high ceilings in a Victorian house. The garden was immaculate and ideally secure for dogs. It would be worth mentioning that the TV package includes Netflix and Prime. We will definitely repeat our stay as soon as we can.

- Keith, May 2023

Thank you very much for your 100% score ! Appreciate your kind feedback which we will action Property Owner
Christine May 2023

“A lovely well equipped and comfortable cottage , convenìently situated near to the town and the beach.”

We hope to visit again!

- Christine, May 2023

Thank you very much , guests travelled by train and unfortunately had to cut visit short so we hope to see you again ! Property Owner
Sarah April 2023

“The house is lovely and in a prime position to explore the town.”

It’s a real treat that it is dog friendly and so large. The house really worked for us and our pack.

- Sarah, April 2023

Thank you very much for your 100% score ! We hope to see you again soon Property Owner
Julie March 2023

“Very nice cottage, could do with a larger TV in lounge, lovely location only short walk to town and beach.”

Parking can be problematical imagine it would be very difficult to park near cottage at peak times.

- Julie, March 2023

Thank you very much for your feedback which is appreciated. However as we advised you last year, the size of the Smart TV is appropriate to the size of the room in our spacious Edwardian cottage. The location in the heart of the town means that unfortunately we do not have our own parking, but for the benefit of future guests we can advise that Flint Cottage is situated on a quiet road without parking restriction and alternative council car parks are within a few minutes walk but most guests find no need to use them. Property Owner
Karen February 2023

“Excellent Warm and cosy, very clean and well maintained.”

The house was spacious and very well equipped. The garden area was fabulous, and im sure in the warmer weather you would spend lots of time lounging. We have all had a fabulous stay.

- Karen, February 2023

Hi Karen that’s great to hear ! So pleased the family enjoyed their first stay in Sheringham with us Property Owner
Rebecca February 2023

“I couldn’t fault Flint Cottage, it was so homely and in such a great location too!”

It was also a very peaceful area. The little extras were much appreciated and made us feel very welcomed. We had such a great week and absolutely love Sheringham! I would highly recommend this cottage to everyone! I honestly couldn’t fault it one bit. Thank you!!

- Rebecca, February 2023

Thank you very much, we are so pleased you all enjoyed your stay Property Owner

Sue December 2022

“We were very happy in this home, and that was how we felt, at home.”

Good sized rooms, spotlessly clean, well furnished and in the kitchen everything you could need. On street parking was no problem and we were able to leave the car parked up and walk to the shops, pubs, takeaways and of course, the beach. All this and dog friendly too (though there was absolutely no sign that dogs had ever stayed there) Perfect. Thank you

- Sue, December 2022

That’s great to hear ! Thank you Property Owner
Jodie October 2022

“My recent stay at Flint cottage was brilliant.”

The accommodation was spacious & clean throughout, large secure garden, well equipped kitchen, and location couldn't of been better just a short walk to the beach. The property was in a peaceful location just off the main high street and whilst there is no allocated parking, we were always able to park close to the property. Really enjoyed my stay.

- Jodie, October 2022

Thank you very much for your 100% score ! Very much appreciated and pleased that you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

Asadollah July 2022

“Everything about the cottage and location is very good.”

The only issue is parking. Having to find somewhere to park every day is not convenient.

- Asadollah, July 2022

Thank you very much for your 100% feedback score, much appreciated. Like many period cottages in the heart of seaside towns we don’t have our own parking, but for the benefit of future guests can advise that there are council car parks within a few minutes walk for which permits can be purchased if required, however most guests don’t need to use this option as unrestricted parking is available on surrounding roads. Property Owner
Christine Mary April 2022

“Beautiful, clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage with the added bonus of a large, enclosed garden - ideal for children and dogs.”

The "welcome pack" (cereals, tea, coffee and chocolate cake) was a nice touch and much appreciated. A hidden gem close to the town and the beach which we will definitely be returning to!!

- Christine Mary, April 2022

Thank you very much for giving us a 100% score ! Much appreciated Property Owner
Carol April 2022

“We have just spent a fabulous week in this beautiful cottage.”

Comfortable, roomy, well equip and a real lovely base for our holiday. Lovely garden ideal for our dogs and my 2 year old Granddaughter to play in safely. An added and most welcome bonus was a lovely cake, tea, coffee and milk on our arrival. I would highly recommend Flint Cottage and we hope to return. Thank you from very happy visitors

- Carol, April 2022
Julie February 2022

“Lovely cottage, TV in lounge could do with updating very small screen especially for older people whose eyesight is not as good as if was.”

Also provision of a USB plug for charging phones etc would be helpful. We had a very enjoyable week and really appreciated being able to bring all four dogs.

- Julie, February 2022

Thank you very much for your kind comments, we always encourage and act on guest feedback where practicable. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and we know from personal experience how difficult it is to find a cottage that will accept 4 dogs ! However for the benefit of future guests we must clarify that Flint Cottage has a 32” LED Smart HD TV with DVD in the lounge, which is 12 months old; in addition there is a larger smart TV situated in an upstairs bedroom.

David October 2021

“Flint Cottage was so lovely.”

Cleanliness was outstanding. Location was fabulous for us. 2 minute walk into Sheringham and amenities. The beach was 5 minute walk. Our dogs loved the holiday too!

- David, October 2021
Carol September 2021

“The cottage was exceptionally clean.”

The communication with the owners was also excellent. They were aware that we were arriving following our wedding and had made the cottage even more homely.

- Carol, September 2021
Rodney September 2021

“The cottage was not suitable for OAP The stairs were steep and dark furniture ...”

The cottage was not suitable for OAP The stairs were steep and dark furniture was to low for us Parking space where you could manage to find a space in surrounding streets We arrived on the Saturday and left Tuesday very disappointing

- Rodney, September 2021

Thank you very much for your prompt reply and feedback. We appreciate your comments but don’t feel that our cottage is unsuitable for elderly guests, being of pension age ourselves we manage perfectly well ! we and Sykes do our best to provide accurate descriptions of our cottages, this includes us asking guests at the time of booking if they need any further information, this could be about the cottage facilities or parking. Both the sofas and beds are of standard height, however if you found the double bed to be too low for you, the twin beds were available for use and they are slightly higher. We also have a detailed "access statement" on our own website (details on our first email to you) which gives the exact measurements of the cottage including the stairs. We disagree that they are unduly steep (they have standard 13 steps of normal tread height) or indeed dark, there is full lighting in the hallway and on the landing. We totally understand that this type of period cottage (plus without its own parking) may not entirely meet your needs, but feel that you did not make sufficient inquiries as to suitability at the time of booking. Finally it is disappointing that you didn't let us know you were leaving after only 3 nights stay, as we could have arranged for our housekeeper to attend early and would have found your clothing items sooner. We are very sorry that you were unable to enjoy your stay in Flint Cottage and Sheringham but feel that neither we nor Sykes could not have done anything different to avoid your dissatisfaction. Thank you once again for taking the time to give us your feedback. Property Owner
Judith June 2021

Everything was catered for, even down to kitchen towel, loo roll and dishwasher tablets. Owners were very obliging.

Wendy May 2021

“The cottage was the best property we have stayed in.”

We always use Sykes cottages as they are always so good, but this one exceeded our expectations. The size, facilities, comfort - everything about the place was excellent.

- Wendy, May 2021
Paul May 2021

“A lovely cottage, conveniently situated for shops and coast.”

Perfect for us as we come by train and so close to the station. Thank you for the welcome pack and it was also lovely and warm. We would definitely recommend and hope to return next year. Mary and Paul, Colchester.

It is right by the shops and beach and some lovely places to eat. The cottage itself is very comfortable and equipped with everything you could need. The garden is a great size and perfect if you have dogs. We would definitely stay here again.

- Shirley, October 2020
Lindsay September 2020

“A lovely cottage with everything we required for our stay.”

Very convenient for the shops and seafront. The cottage was well equipped and clean with some extras like breakfast cereals and toiletries. We were lucky with being able to park outside the cottage 5 nights out of 7 but I imagine it could be a problem at busier times, Overall a lovely holiday.

- Lindsay, September 2020
Alison August 2020

“Flint Cottage is beautifully decorated, with some lovely features, such as the fireplaces.”

The kitchen and upstairs bathroom are done to a very high standard. Very clean throughout. The back garden is a lovely space. Location wise it’s very close to the amenities, and only 5 minute walk to the beach, but still a very quiet road. There is some lovely local artwork around the property too. The owners were great with communication and lots of useful information was left such as WiFi and heating instructions, local attractions and places to eat. A very enjoyable stay.
