Choose Stones Throw Cottage for your holiday, and you will find yourself footsteps from the beach, which has once again been awarded Blue Flag status in 2025. You will also be just a short walk from Sheringham’s thriving town centre. Two seasons, two holidays, at Stones Throw Cottage you can enjoy two completely different holidays in one location. In summer, wake to bright skies, enjoy a morning swim in the calm blue sea, and spend your days on the wide sandy beach before dining al fresco or exploring the vibrant town. In winter, experience the drama of windswept cliff-top walks, crashing waves against the promenade, stormy skies, and cosy nights inside while the sea spray hits the windows. Both seasons are unforgettable, offering two unique holidays in the very same place.
Completely renovated in 2022, this charming fisherman’s cottage blends modern comfort with traditional character. It features a spacious kitchen/dining area, a cosy living room with comfortable seating, and a snug attic room, perfect for reading, relaxing, or simply listening to the waves. The real highlight is the uninterrupted sea view. From the terrace, watch the sun rise and set over the water or step outside and in under a minute be swimming in the North Sea. Return for a hot shower and a warm drink, then enjoy breakfast on the terrace as the waves sparkle in the morning sun. In the evening, relax with a glass of wine and stargaze in tranquillity, far from city lights.
Sheringham is a much-loved seaside town with award-winning beaches, a new leisure centre and pool, cliff-top golf, and woodland walks. Its high street is filled with boutique shops, cafés, restaurants, and inns all just a short stroll from the cottage so you could dine out every night and always find something new. The beach itself is wide and sandy, ideal for summer sunbathing or bracing winter walks. The town also hosts popular events, from the 1940s weekend and Viking Festival to a lively summer carnival. Nearby, Sheringham Park offers a thousand acres of woodland and coastal scenery, while the heritage steam railway gives a nostalgic way to explore the coast. The mainline train station links to Cromer and Norwich, and by car you can reach the Norfolk Broads or explore salt marshes, rolling dunes, and picturesque quays. Attractions close by include Cromer Pier, BeWILDerwood, the Thursford and Muckleburgh Collections, Pensthorpe Nature Reserve, and RSPB reserves. Historic estates such as Felbrigg, Blickling, Holkham, Houghton, and Sandringham are also within easy reach, as well as East Ruston Old Vicarage Garden.
With so much to do, you’ll find yourself planning a return visit just to fit it all in.

We absolutely loved Stone’s Throw cottage! From the minute we walked through the door we felt
We absolutely loved Stone’s Throw cottage! From the minute we walked through the door we felt at home. The owners provided a lovely welcome pack, and it was also a real privilege to read about the history of the cottage. The cottage was sparkling clean, beautifully decorated, very comfortable and everyone was very well provided for, including our dog.The location is perfect, quiet but within steps of local shops, pubs and restaurants. Parking was also really easy. Finally, the view. Wow, what more can I say. It’s breathtaking! Going to sleep listening to the sound of the waves was so special. We all agreed it was one of the best holidays we have ever had. A huge thank you from us!
