Such a cute, cosy cottage. Nice and clean and comfy. The location is superb near the centre of Cromer and the beach.

Nice house, excellent location next to the sea. Fair bit of noise from pub across the road. Didn’t bother us too much but might be frustrating if you wanted an early night. Otherwise everything was great.

Very comfortable, cozy and cute place - extremely central to many locations and especially the seaside. Highly recommended!

It was perfectly located & walkable to plenty of restaurants, shopping etc. It was clean w/ clear instructions/info on things. That being said some things really lacking namely the mattress because it was a very uncomfortable thin spring mattress. We really disliked it. We also found it odd that we booked for a week but were only given 1 & 1/2 rolls of toilet paper so we had to buy our own. There were only 2 sheets of paper towels & 1 laundry pod. None of these would've lasted a weeks stay. Not deal breakers but we've never stayed in an Airbnb that was this lacking in the basics. Another thing of note was that 3 out of 7 nights there was insanely crazy loud road construction right outside at the corner where the Albion pub is. It sounded like jackhammering that went until midnight those nights. The pub was loud too. Thank goodness for white noise apps. Otherwise we wouldn't have slept at all. Overall we were happy with our stay but will look for a quieter location next time.

When the pub opposite is having a Kaneohe night it’s like camping at a festival I’m afraid and goes on til late (1140 for us). It’s very small and well stocked, great location and parking is easy up the road, but if you like a quiet night in sometimes it can be noisy.

This is the second time we have stayed with Norfolk holiday properties, once in fisherman’s cottage and once in shoemakers cottage, love the location of these two and will definitely be using again.

A peaceful, beautiful place to stay with a partner, the cottage is the perfect size for a few days stay, it has a cosy living room with a electric fireplace, a nice kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. The cottage is just round the corner from the beach, the location is perfect for everything you could want in Cromer. The building is located infront of a pub, the pub had karaoke nights every night we stayed which is good if you are into that thing, but it does make it hard to sleep if you want an early night, it was very noisy till around 12am.

A small cottage, centrally located, clean and well equipped. Parking is difficult and is at least 200m distant to street parking. The stairs are steep and probably would not suit anyone with mobility or balance issues. The Albion pub 50m away is unnecessarily LOUD in the evening.

This was a lovely, comfortable cottage which was in a great location for shops, bars, and restaurants and the Pier was only about 5 minutes away. The Cottage was well-equipped and furnished. All the on-street parking was usually taken so we parked at Cadogan Road car park at £34 for a week. The Albion Pub at the end of the Street could get a little noisy at the weekend, but it didn’t bother us. Can’t really think of any negatives apart from the musty smell that seemed to come from behind the crockery cupboard in the Kitchen. Would recommend The Kings Head for Sunday Lunch and Mary Ann’s for the best Fish and Chips we’ve tasted in ages. For Breakfast, we sat on the balcony overlooking the sea at the Rocket House (above the life boat museum) which was superb. Overall, a very relaxing and enjoyable stay on our very first visit to Cromer, we would definitely return.

Little yet charming cottage very close to the beach. Perfect fit for two people. Nice pubs and cafés within walking distance.

We loved where the cottage was, but with this location came the problem of parking. Over the 3 days, this was quite a lot of additional cost. Everything else about our stay was great, we even enjoyed listening to the Karaoke in the bar close by!

Perfect for a few days break near the sea. The cottage is small but has everything you might need, and is just a few minutes walk from the coast. Cromer town centre is round the corner, we had a lovely stay.

Cozy, clean cottage with welcoming compliments of tea, coffee and biscuits which was a nice touch. Wi-fi and TV worked well with a good choice of channels and everything you should need for a short stay. Lovely king sized bed and decent black out curtains. Well located position for shops and the beach, only hampered by loud music from the local pub and a constant stream of people walking past, but this was in the busy school holidays. Stairs need to be carefully considered, as stated on Airbnb, as they are very narrow and steep although there is a handrail. Also, there is a door which closes near the bottom of the stairs and gives the impression that when it is opened, you are walking on to the floor of the lounge. This is not so, there is one more step which can easily be missed so please take care!

This place is just perfect for a little seaside getaway in Cromer just a skip away from the beach/pier. It was clean and felt homely and cosy. Getting in was so easy and didn’t require any handover with the host which made planning our arrival stress-free. The host was responsive and accommodating and we are so grateful to find such a cute place stay. We’ll come again!

Lovely little cottage. Bit noisy at weekend, but that's the quid pro quo for being so central. Suggest just using the public car parks - not too expensive - rather than trying to find on-street parking.

We loved staying at the cottage It was very central, 2 minutes from the beach and centre of Cromer. Cottage was a clean and calm, kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment and some tupperware lunchboxes for day trips! would definitely stay here again We don’t drive so it was incredibly helpful that the cottage was around the corner from a bus stop, bus station and a few minutes walk from the train station. This meant we were able to get there easily and explore the coast during our stay

Great luttle cottage for 2 in a central location with short walks to bars and restaurants. Short walks to train and bus station if you want to explore.

Beautifully kept cottage. Well stocked and had everything we needed to cook and make meals - more so than other Airbnbs I’ve visited. Biscuits, tea, coffee and milk were a lovely touch and made us feel very welcome.

Great location to be 5 mins walk from the beach, cottage was lovely and clean and homely touches with the shortbread biscuits! I was staying for 3 nights on my own and planned a relaxing weekend away. The noise from the pub at the end of the road was too loud, couldn’t hear the TV and loud music past midnight on Fri, Sat and Sunday meant I had disturbed sleep. Cottage is great but due to location isn’t ideal for the noise, if you are happy with being up late and going out most nights this place is ideal. Cromer is a lovely place and definitely worth a visit though.

We had a great stay at the shoemakers cottage. Excellent location near the seafront and everything else going on in Cromer. The cottage had everything we needed, though compact, and was comfy and cosy. We enjoyed going to the Red Lion (1 min walk away) for a nightcap, looking out at the sea and the lights of ships passing. It was a nice, relaxing spot. Agree some may want to know that you can hear noise from the Albion pub in the cottage, including the bedroom (at least over the weekend, we stayed Thurs-Tues and it was quiet on Monday night). But it didn't bother us and they were just jovial karaoke sounds, at least! We also found free parking spots in the locations suggested by Craig and co (and once on Cadogan Street), so not far away.

This is a great little location, so close to get down to the esplande and beach. Cottage was clean and easy to get into using the keypad. Although there was no parking, and street parking was not guaranteed , we parked in the Meadow Road Car park, which cost £28 for the week. It wasn't an issue for us, but I am sure if you looked around you could find some on-street parking. Would recommend The Red Lion for a meal, The Kings Head for Sunday Lunch, the Rocket House Cafe for breakfast. The Red Lion for good Real Ale, or the Gangway for Craft beer, and the North Sea Coffee Company for coffee and lovely cakes. Loads of other cafes and places to eat. Railway station easy to get to, we took the train to Sherringham and the other way to Norwich (nice new clean trains). We will be back, and will definitely try to get this property again

Nice little cottage ideally suited in the east end of Cromer. Just a stones throw away from the beach, coffee, two pubs, a couple of bakeries, you’ve got everything you need literally on your doorstep. Comfy bed and couch, the electric fire making it even more cosy. Will consider booking again.

Les

The cottage is what we expected,clean and tidy,well equipped and a fantastic location in the centre of the town. The only downside the sofa was well past it’s best and very low and uncomfortable. The cottage is placed in the middle of a street with a pub at each end so there was some noise in the evenings, especially on karaoke night (Wednesday).It didn’t really bother us and it wouldn’t stop us from coming back again.The pubs in general have a good selection of real ale and food. We would recommend the Garden Street Grill for a good meal at a reasonable price.

A lovely little cottage in a very central location in Cromer. Perfect for the beach and accessing all the restaurants and attractions the town has to offer. It was a perfect base for us for a week exploring north Norfolk. I would definitely recommend! The pub opposite the cottage is can be quite noisy but closes at 11pm so isn't too much of an issue. It was spotless and the check-in went very smoothly.

Great little cottage, perfect for a solo traveller or a couple’s getaway. The bed was comfy and the living room space is cosy. Really convenient location, right in the centre of Cromer and two minutes to the sea. Like other guests though, we did find the noise from The Albion pub incredibly annoying. Music, singing and loud voices carried on until late at night on the Saturday and Sunday we stayed. So not an ideal spot for an early night.

Such a beautiful cottage in a great central location, walking distance to everything you need. Very clean and cosy, if it gets cold there's a throw in the draw of the wardrobe! If there's no parking to drop off suitcases park in front of the red lion and do a quick drop off, so much easier! Overall a lovely stay in a cosy cottage!

The property is in a good location, on a back road. It's opposite a loud pub with live music, but once closed (11pm), we found it very quiet. The facilities were great, checkin was simple - the door is secured with a pin, so there's no need to wait around for a host to give the keys, which was handy. There is a musky smell in the property downstairs though. It hits you as you walk in and makes being downstairs quite uncomfortable. It smells like someone has been smoking in there and the smoke has found its way into the fabrics. I would still recommend the property, but suggest the owners investigate the smell (something that I am sure can easily be resolved). Once the smell is resolved, it would be a very lovely stay.

Very sweet cottage in the perfect location! Right by the beach, next to a lovely pub. And so much to do in Cromer (we had no idea!!)!! Kitchen equipped with the basics, clean bathroom and cosy living area. We had a fantastic week, thank you so much.

This 2 person, 1 bedroom terraced ex-fisherman's cottage within 2 minutes walk of the sea front is really nice and my wife and I were happy staying there. However Shoemakers Cottage is located close to what is probably the noisiest pub, The Albion in Cromer, so don't expect a peaceful stay if there are sporting events being shown on their mega T V. On the subject of T V's, we could only get BBC1 and BBC2 in the house and while we reported the misfunction to the owner, 5 days later nothing had been done to rectify the fault.

This little Cottage hits all the right spots from its well equipped kitchen and the lovely nice feature pictures, ornaments and other fittings. The cottage is so well placed you are spoilt for both being right beside the main shopping Street and also minutes from the beach and Pier. We went for a drink in the Albion which is literary on your doorstep and was greeted with a lovely smile and nice atmosphere, all be it in these strange times. We also would recommend the Kings Head (another two minutes away) for great food and at a reasonable price. Its been mentioned by many about the parking to this Cottage, yes it is a pain but if you go to the Cadgon Car Park that is suggested which is only a 10 minute walk there are lots of free parking spaces in the surrounding streets, you just have to look. All in all a lovely few days spent in this quaint little Cottage.

We stayed here with our 11 month old and it was the perfect location for the beach with a baby as you can come back and get changed within 10 minutes when they have had enough. There was space for the travel cot in the bedroom and we brought along a highchair seat as there was not one provided. I wouldn't stay here with older children but I thought it was great for a holiday with a baby. The location is great, however the pub across the road is a bit noisy at night, especially around 9/10pm! I don't think this was a deal breaker for us and wouldn't stop us staying again but it's worth noting if you like it really quiet. Great value for money and would stay again!

This is an excellent little terraced house in the middle of Cromer. Perfect for a weekend getaway. The Red Lion pub just next door has good food and all parts of Cromer are accessible on foot. The stairs to the bedroom are steep if you have impaired mobility but are no problem if you're fully able. Would be very happy to stay again!
