A note on the photographs

We'd rather show you the real thing than a good angle.

Most cottage websites lean on wide-angle shots and warm filters. We'd sooner you saw Sheringham as it actually looks on a Tuesday in November — because that's when a lot of people stay, and it's just as good a reason to come.
