A lovely cottage very well equiped with everything you could need for a great holiday. Only downside for me personally a shower would be more convenient.

Third stay
This was our third visit to Scrimshaw cottage and we love the location. It is right next to the beach and close to pubs, shops and restaurants. There is a car park right next door which now offers weekly tickets but we unload and head for the streets which offer free parking. The cottage is perfect for two is great for a weeks stay.

Lovely Cottage in perfect location
Excellent location and beautifully decorated cottage. Two Smart TVs were a welcome addition which most cottages don't have. A welcome pack was much appreciated together with the comprehensive summary of things to see and do within the local area.

We had a really comfortable stay at Scrimshaw.would definitely stay here again. In a prime position
Brilliant cottage. Stay again definitely.
Spotless.
Central position and just by the sea.
Owners kindly left a welcome gift of delicious chocolate biscuits and a bottle of red wine!!
The cottage was very quirky but cosy and comfortable. The accommodation was well equipped with a welcome bottle of wine , tea , coffee , milk and biscuits supplied.
I thought this a lovely touch.
Would highly recommend this place to stay.
I will definitely be returning.
We had a really enjoyable stay in Scrimshaw Cottage. Very comfortable furniture and beds and all very well furnished. The kitchen was modern and very well equipped.
The situation was brilliant, being only a few yards from the sea wall, pubs/restaurants and the main shopping streets. Thank you.

3rd visit
This was our 3rd stay at Scrimshaw Cottage and we love the location with its sea views. Some nice new touches since last time in the new kitchen. It is a perfect place to stay for two. The parking is not an issue as there is a car park next door but we park on the streets for free a few minutes walk away after unloading. I am sure we will be back

What a fabulous little cottage! Absolutely immaculate and with everything you could possibly need for your stay. It has a lovely 'feel' as soon as you walk in, and is extremely comfortable from the sofas to the bed.
The position of the cottage is perfect with everything so close by.. shops, pubs, restaurants etc, yet tucked away slightly. It was so lovely to be able to see the sea from every window and to be so close to it.
As mentioned in other reviews, the stairs are fairly steep but there are only 7 of them and another 2 at the bottom going into the kitchen are usual size.
There is a small car park for around 20 cars out to the side of the cottage which we used as we were there for 3 days we paid the £8.70 for 24hrs and nipped out to renew it, but as per other reviews there is plenty of free parking around if you want. We were there at the end of September but I imagine during peak season it would be a lot busier.
We were very sad to leave the cottage and have every intention of re-booking for more visits.

Scrimshaw
As usual fab holiday in Sherringham & stay in Scrimshaw Cottage - our 4th in this property. The cottage is well positioned for the beach, shops, cafes & pubs and is a great find - good value & really comfy
Unfortunately this will be our last stay in this cottage - the change over day has changed to a Friday & this is totally unsuitable, meaning an extra day of leave as unable to get to Sherringham after work. A real shame as we love this little cottage.
The cottage was perfect for the two of us. It was well equipped and furnished to a high standard. It was warm and welcoming and in an ideal location for all amenities. We enjoyed our stay and would go again and recommend it to others.
