This pretty brick and flint bungalow which lies in the delightful grounds of a private house is a very short walk from the beach and promenade and the town centre of Sheringham. A great base to explore Norfolk.

Fourth visit

This was our fourth visit to The Flints in two years. It is in an ideal location with off road parking being an added bonus.However,as mentioned before the property would be greatly improved with a walk in shower (the bath is too deep for elderly people like ourselves) and wifi would also be good. We have already booked for next year.

The Flints holiday home is a lovely bungalow in the garden of owners property and is perfectly located for the beach and amenities of Sheringham with its own parking which is why we booked it .
The garden setting is lovely and we enjoyed it as if being at home
The property itself was clean and tidy ,kitchen had everything we needed except a washing machine which we knew about before we arrived and there is a laundrette nearby ,however we could have done with an iron /ironing board as being there for two weeks and using laundrette there then was nothing to iron the clean clothes with .
The property decor while being light and all white seemed a little austere and on entering the living room my husband described it as like “Gods waiting room with way too many books “
Bedroom had plenty of storage and the bed was comfortable but it’s the first time we have stayed anywhere where we have had to take our own bedding /towels having said that based on previous experience at least we knew they were clean
Bathroom was adequate but the bath could be a struggle to get out of as is quite deep
On the whole we enjoyed our stay and spent our days out and about using the local buses as the service is fantastic .Highly recommend The Whelk Coppers cafe two minutes from the property and the coastal walks were brilliant .

we loved the flints.our second visit. but aswe mentioned last year it dos need a proper shower, mixer taps being old hat and also for people of an age it could be quite dangerous trying to get in the bath. in the lounge the chairs could be more comfortable.

This our third stay at The Flints. The location is brilliant and the parking a bonus. The property could do with wi fi and would benefit from a walk in shower as the bath is deep and unsuitable for elderly people.

Having stayed at The Flints on several occasions I was again looking forward to a relaxing stay and was not disappointed. The location, private parking and spacious accommodation is ideal - so much so I’ve booked again for July & September !

We have stayed at The Flints previously. I had mentioned it needed a hair dryer and one is now provided. It's great to have our own parking space. Very quiet road. So convenient for the shops and hostelries. Perfect for a walk by the sea after tea. The house is comfortable, clean and well equipped.

The Flints was perfect for being in Sheringham. 3 minutes from the High Street with the shops and The Little Theatre. 1 minutes walk from the sea front. 7 minutes walk to the train and bus stations. The cottage was well equipped. Only downside was no hairdryer. Travelling on the train meant we hadn't taken one.

Our stay was very enjoyable but I feel that the bathroom needed rethinking.
I have mobility problems and , not to put too finer point on it, the toilet pan would be better if a grab rail was provided.
In my mind the bath would be better replaced with an enclosed shower tray and a thermostatic shower valve .
In my opinion this would not need to cost a fortune.
It is such a pity that I need to draw attention to this as the Flints could be more desirable for us seniors and any costs could be easily covered with a moderate increase in the rent.
Without prejudice,
John

We have stayed at the Flints for a number of years and have always loved it for it's location and it works for our needs. however this year they had redone various elements of the property such as the floors and new curtains and lampshades etc. The new floor was fine but it is a shame to not have carpet in the living room anymore as it makes the room feel much less comfortable. I would also say the decor is now slightly at odds with each other and doesn't seem to have been entirely thought through. It would also be much nicer to have one comfortable sofa instead of 2 armchairs but I realise these things are personal preference. It is a very well placed property and the garden is lovely but for the size it seems very expensive and

Wonderfully situated with own parking space 100m from the beach. Bedroom and lounge fine (although TV a little dated with average sound quality). No washing m/c or dishwasher. Bathroom had a hand-held shower over the (rather deep) bath.... but the hot water was so hot and the cold water such a dribble that showers were out: too much risk of getting scalded. Nice to have a garden space outside which was used for early morning exercises!

Not sure you would want to come in winter since heating - at the time (July) there was only a dimplex-type heater in the lounge and no other heating elsewhere. How would one safely have a warm bath?

No Wi-fi (hence only 3 for customer service) so best to get out out for latish walks on the clifftop or the promenade. Is it a place I would go to again? Probably not since the facilities could do with an upgrade.

Our second stay and it is was just perfect. Ideal location for the seafront & town. The accommodation was in excellent condition, with a fully equipped - there was everything we needed. A lovely garden area with an amazing display of flowers & plants. Private parking bay was the icing on the cake !

The property was very clean and fresh. The garden is beautiful and the location is excellent. It does lack character and is adequate for a one week holiday. For the amount of money paid the property should have a washing machine.
