A family cottage on the Norfolk coast
SplashpointSheringham, Norfolk
2 Lifeboat Plain, Sheringham

Twenty yards from the sea, and no further plans than that.

A small fisherman's cottage on a quiet no-through road, kept by the same family who'll answer the phone when you call.

The cottage

You'll hear the sea before you see it.

Splashpoint sits where the town runs out and the beach begins — a former fisherman's cottage on Lifeboat Plain, close enough to the water that the Captain's Room window seat has kept binoculars for the wildlife, and quiet enough that the loudest thing most evenings is the tide.

There's room for four. Two proper bedrooms, a sitting room with sofas built for doing nothing in, and a kitchen stocked for the week rather than a weekend. Nothing about it is trying too hard, and that's rather the point.

A working seaside town, not a postcard of one.

Crab boats still get hauled up the shingle by hand. The Poppy Line steam train still runs to Holt. You can walk everywhere, and most days you'll want to.

Boots on, and off you go.

The beach is at the end of the road. The shops and pubs are a few minutes' walk. Everything that matters is close.

“Rain against the window, kettle on the hob, and nowhere else you need to be.” What a week at Splashpoint tends to feel like
Stay & prices

A real person to ask, not a booking engine.

Prices move with the seasons — quieter in the shoulder months, busier through the summer weeks when the town fills with families doing exactly what you'd expect: crabbing lines, chip papers, wind-battered kites.

You'll speak to Alizon or Mark, who'll tell you honestly what's free and what it'll cost.
