About this property

Ideally located period cottage with parking.

Old Schoolyard Cottage is a charming brick and flint period cottage with a character all of it's own. The cottage sleeps a maximum of four people in two well-proportioned bedrooms but guests should be aware that the stairs are quite steep. Downstairs, the dining room linking the lounge and kitchen and gives ample space for families to spread out.
The cottage is ideally situated being a few moments' walk from the beach and High Street, making daily trips to the local shops a pleasure and yet within minutes you can be on the coastal path or on the cliffs high above the town.
There is off-road parking for one car, on the concrete pad in front of the cottage and a long-stay car park 100 meters up Cliff Road for additional vehicles or visitors.
Free WiFi is available. Linen is provided but guests are asked to bring their own towels. The cottage has gas central heating and fitted carpets throughout, except for the bathroom and kitchen, and UPVC double glazing. The tourist information folders are updated each year and a selection of books, DVDs and board games is available. The rear porch area houses a spin drier, freezer, beach chairs and a windbreak but is also suitable for storing bikes etc.
We regret we are not able to accept pets. Smoking is not permitted inside the property. Short breaks are not available in July/August.

The Cottage was excellent in every way. It was clean and comfortable. It was within walking distance for the beach and the town shops. We had breakfast every day at two or three different eateries and couldn't fault them, really tasty. We recommend this cottage wholeheartedly

Highly recommended, very cosy, central to everything and we didn’t need to use the car. The cottage contained everything we needed including lots of local information. Beds were comfortable and the onsite parking was an added bonus. Many thanks John & Jane

The location was perfect for us! Everything we needed to explore Sheringham and the surrounding areas. Great having a parking space too. The cottage had everything we needed and it was great to having a freezer as well as a fridge. Beds were comfy and we slept well. Internet connection was very good and loved the selection of books. Good value for money.
