The Very Best Places to Stay in Sheringham: Your Coastal Getaway Sorted

Sheringham, with its pebbly beach, steam trains, and North Norfolk charm, is the kind of seaside town that begs for a proper stay. Whether you’re here for a weekend of crab fishing or a week of coastal walks, where you bed down matters. Lucky for you, Sheringham’s got a handful of standout spots that blend comfort, character, and that all-important proximity to the sea. Here are four of the best places to stay in this Norfolk gem—each with its own vibe to suit your trip.

For a taste of traditional Sheringham, check into The Two Lifeboats, a cozy inn right on the seafront. This place has history—its roots go back to the 1700s as a coffee house and Fisherman’s Mission—and it’s got that warm, welcoming pub atmosphere. The rooms are simple but comfy, with en-suite bathrooms and tea-making kit, and you’re literally steps from the beach. Downstairs, the bar serves up hearty classics like fish and chips (made with fish caught that day), and the breakfast is a proper fill-up. It’s ideal for solo travelers or couples who love a pint and a chat with locals after a day exploring Beeston Bump or the Poppy Line.

Another pub-with-rooms, The Lobster blends Sheringham’s heritage with a cozy overnight stay. Just a short stroll from the beach, this spot is famous for its cracking pub garden — but it’s also got a handful of rooms for those who want to linger. The accommodations are newly refurbished with an inviting style, and you’re smack in the heart of town. It’s a top pick for foodies who want to roll from a delicious feast to bed without missing a beat, or for anyone who loves the buzz of a lively local haunt.

Tucked just one street back from the beach, Burlington Berties is a boutique hotel with personality to spare. Run by a friendly duo, Sally and Joanna, this place feels like a home-away-from-home with a dash of flair—think quirky décor, plush beds, and little touches like homemade biscuits on arrival. The rooms are spotless and spacious, some with sea glimpses, and the breakfast spread is a standout (gluten-free options too). It’s a 5-minute stroll to the town center or the North Norfolk Railway, making it a great base for those who want charm and convenience. Best for couples or small groups who appreciate a personal touch.

If you’re craving a bit of elegance just outside the hustle of town, Dales Country House Hotel is a treat. Set in parkland bordering Sheringham Park (a 5-minute drive from the beach), this Victorian gem offers refined rooms with four-poster beds, fireplaces, and views over rolling hills or the sea. The on-site restaurant is a draw—think fine dining with local Norfolk ingredients—and the gardens are perfect for a post-dinner wander. It’s a bit pricier, but the luxury and tranquility make it worth it for a special occasion or a romantic escape. Ideal for those who don’t mind a short hop into Sheringham proper.
