A real hidden gem, this great little bolthole for two is perfect for a seaside get away. Tucked behind the main high street, it is right at the centre of all the delights Sheringham has to offer. Please note that this property has a steep staircase.
Very disappointing vist.

I would like to start my review on a positive note by saying how excellent Keys Holidays are, I have holidayed with them for a few years now & found them to be a great company being very professional & quick to sort any queries & problems, which has been very few over the year. I holidayed at 5 Museum Cottage at the end of February for the at least the 3rd time, this is a very sweet little cottage with a welcome wood burner for the colder months, very comfortable beds & close to the beautiful town & beach. Sadly on this visit I was disappointed to find the wood burner had not been cleaned out & the shower was in an awful state, much of the grouting is black & round the base of the shower & door. The soap tray had congealed soap underneath which had turned pinky brown, it actually made me feel quiet sick. Once reported to Keys someone was send out to clean it but truthfully it needs totally sorting. The sofa in the lounge has definitely seen better days & has progressively got more uncomfortable again I feel this needs replacing. If these issues are resolved I would certainly return.

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

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.

The cupboards were full of cleaning products also tins of paint very untidy . The so-called wardrobe was full of stuff unusuable.all cupboards smelt very fusty. Shower door did not fit correctly.lots of black mold.
On the plus side near supermarket and buses.
Ideally situated 2 person cottage in the heart of Sheringham

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.

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 "
A great little cottage

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.
