We enjoyed the stay

It was adequate for our requirements and situated in a very good location. The only thing we found was that the pillows provided weren't very thick not giving as much comfort as they could. But on the whole we enjoyed it and would stay again.

Comfort of sofa.

All very good at this cottage but the sofa is very uncomfortable and some help with the heating would be an advantage. And the windows will not open to ventilate the property.

A nice little property, very well located in central Sheringham

5 Museum Cottages is a cute little house and a great base in Sheringham. The property is very clean, the beds are comfortable and the shower room is modern. The kitchen is basically equipped and no 'extras' - tea, coffee, shampoo, shower gel - are provided. More significantly, there is no Wifi provided in the house.

Very handy for night parkinging and 0ther conveniences

This was a last minute booking over the Bank Holiday. It suited our needs but very small with no garden. Parking nearby and short stays on Station Road close walking distance. Overnight free parking on Station Road which was a great help for someone with a disability. There were one or two things needed in the property ie. a brush for sitting/kitchen area better than getting vacuum out of cupboard. Very heavy bed settee to move. All in all a very convenient position/quiet and compact.

Bijou cottage

The service from the owner who arranged an excellent plumber when the toilet stopped flushing was second to none. The cottage compared to next door where relatives stayed was a bit shabby. It does need a refurb and had no extra touches. Eg bottle of wine etc next door. Overall my friend and I had everything we needed. It was in an excellent town centre position in lovely Sheringham.

Not as expected

Good location and size for 2 people and could be lovely and cosy, but so many things need sorting out. We were rather disappointed.

A nice little cottage for two

A nice cottage for two. Very handy for the town and beach. It is small, but has everything you need for a holiday stay, the only thing we found wanting was a shaver/toothbrush socket. It's surprisingly quiet at night, for a town centre location. We found the beds a bit soft, but that's just a preference. A good-sized TV downstairs, with a DVD player for when it rains!

Grotty

Great location but overall a grotty little place, sofa has ingrained dirt where it shines in places, has a 3 and 5 door chest of drawers in bedroom, but no room for your clothes as they each drawer was full of towels that stank ‍, cupboards full of hoovers brooms and tins of paint, their were half used bottles of cleaning materials jotted around the place ( shame they did not use them ) the mould in and around the shower made me feel sick and the whole place had a damp / dank smell, other than that fantastic

Bargain holiday

The cottage is well situated, within easy reach of shops pubs restaurants and sea. We have stayed there before and it's very cosy. It was clean and tidy, maybe a new sofa would not go a miss. A general sweep up of the lane and and the weeds pulling up would tidy it up a bit.

A cosy convenient place to stay

This cottage is very compact but has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's in a great location tucked away just off the High Street. The cottage was warm enough for the mild winter weather we had. The only drawback was lack of Internet which I would think would be a requisite particularly for a winter stay.

ideal location

The cottage was ideal for myself, located in the middle of sheringham, it is very small but ideal for a base but has near enough everything you need. I would recommend it for a base. If I was to be negative about it, the bathroom towel rail didnt work or there was no instructions to put it on, there was a lack of toilet roll and it was a shame there was no coal or wood for the log burner, as it had been used.

Improved cleaning since last year

Having read recent reviews we were very concerned about our return visit to this cottage. So we were pleased to find the shower rail has been fixed, the grouting redone - and the cleaners have definitely ‘upped’ their game. Crockery and under the sink cupboards have been tidied since our last stay. There still remains an issue of damp and fusty smell from under the sink cupboard. This could partly be solved by a drip tray next to the sink. The sofa is not very comfortable, but the beds are. It is a cozy cottage, adequately equipped for a self catering holiday for two. The log burner is a bonus. The location is superb, and it is the location that draws us back each year. Less than 5 minute walk to the Sheringham Little Theatre - and shops. We are going to tick the recommendation box - but it is a compact property, with some issues so would not suit everyone.

Perfect find

Was a perfect find, in the centre of Sheringham. Quality beds and furniture. The stairs would be tricky for less abled and the shower is a tight fit to get in and be In for the larger person (glad I’m no fatter and I’m fat!!) but expected in a wee cottage. Loved our week at 5 Museum Cottages.

Attention to detail

Lovely spot, nice cottage. The attention to detail is exactly that. If the owners or agents cleaners can't see it I'm not explaining it to them. However 1 point in the current climate I would have expected the highest standard of cleaning. " Attention to detail "

Terrible property, but location is excellent

Damp issues throughout the whole flat, not only the kitchen cupboards. Gutters haven't been cleaned for a long time and when it rains, it causes further damp problems. It's a quirky flat, I like the setup, but it's outdated. The walls require painting and the sofa needs to be replaced. I've seen cloth moths coming out from it. The sofa is so old, it soaked up all the dampness from the flat and you can really feel it when you sit on it. The flat hasn't been cleaned properly for our arrival too. I needed to do it myself. The customer service and location are excellent though!

A long awaited getaway.

A very cosy little cottage & very close to the town. Stairs could be a problem for some, however just what you would expect in an old cottage. Lovely to have the woodburner. Would definitely return.
