About Wee Retreat

Wee Retreat is a one-of-a-kind seafront property in Sheringham, Norfolk lovingly converted from a Victorian toilet block into a stylish two-bedroom holiday cottage. Renovated by the owner as a gift for his wife, this quirky building sits right next to the beach huts on Sheringham promenade with direct sea views.

Sheringham sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The coastal path to Cromer (5 miles) starts practically at the door. Shops, cafes, restaurants and the theatre are all within 300 metres. The beach is your front garden. No hot tub here but honestly, with those views, you won't miss it.

The property sleeps 4 across two double bedrooms. The lower ground floor double has its own TV and shower room. The first-floor double has a TV and en-suite shower room with patio doors onto an enclosed veranda. The open-plan ground floor has floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides and a wrap-around balcony with stunning North Sea views.

Blakeney seal colony (9 miles), Cromer (5 miles), Holt via the Poppy Line steam railway (6 miles) and the coastal path to Sheringham Park are all close by.

Wee Retreat suits couples and small groups who want a genuinely special seaside base. Repeat guests say it all one reviewer has stayed five times.

Is Wee Retreat Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Sheringham beach is right outside the door great for rock pooling and sandcastles. The Poppy Line steam railway to Holt (6 miles) is a big hit with younger visitors. The coastal path to Cromer (5 miles) is a manageable walk. Note the property has spiral staircases which may not suit very young children.

For Couples

Wee Retreat was literally built as a gift for someone's wife it doesn't get more romantic than that. The wrap-around balcony is made for sunset drinks. The first-floor double has an en-suite, a veranda and sea views. Sheringham's restaurants and theatre are 300 metres away. A genuinely special couples' escape.

Pet Friendly

Wee Retreat does not allow dogs. The property has a strict no-dogs policy so it is not suitable for guests travelling with pets. If you need a dog-friendly property in North Norfolk, you will need to look at alternative cottages in the Sheringham or Cromer area.

Wee Retreat Reviews

The location of this property is as amazing as you think it will be. A very short walk into town and perfect for sitting on the balcony people (and dog) watching. However, we found the patio doors difficult to move so bear this in mind when deciding whether to book. My elderly mother was unable to move the doors at all. On the final morning of our stay one of the patio doors came off it's fixings as I opened it. A situation which has the potential to be very dangerous. I'm concerned about whether the maintenance of the patio doors is adequate.

Jean

Fantastic location!!!

Melanie

Absolutely fabulous location, must be one of the best in Sheringham and we were glad we'd discounted some of the more negative reviews as we found the whole experience an absolute delight and we are hoping to be able to return

Kate

Beautifully designed place with stunning views and perfect location. Lovely decor ,Beds were comfortable and bedding / towels fresh and clean. Listening and watching the waves from your bed was just heavenly. There were some really nice touches like binoculars, books ,dvds and games. Very close proximity to some great shops,cafes and pubs in Sheringham. We really did have a wonderful week there.

Sally

This is a fabulous location. Great to fall asleep and wake to the noise of the sea. The property is really warm and well equipped, and close to lots of shops and food places to eat.

Gary

Great views and much needed relaxing week.

Robert

A comfortable lounge and bedrooms, more than adequate for 4 adults, the bathrooms are snug to say the least. I would be warry about taking children due to the open nature of the spiral stair cases to the up stairs and down stairs bedrooms and the stairs and remote location are certainly not suitable for the elderly or infirm. We enjoyed our stay, ideal location for visiting the surrounding area and Sheringham is a lovely seaside town with good pubs and restaurants.

David

A truly unique property with the most amazing 180 degree sea views.

Michael

If you love the sight and sound of the sea, the Wee Retreat is the property for you. It's a bit Tardis-like in that from the outside you'd not realise how much could be packed into such a small footprint and the owners have produced a little gem of a place. But there are points that should be noted: it is a wee place, so don't expect huge bathrooms; eating in for 4 wouldn't be especially sociable as there is no dining table and there isn't comfortable seating for 4. There was just the 2 of us so none of this mattered and we just enjoyed the sea and Sheringham. Oh, and there is quite a long, steep slope and steps to be negotiated for access from the roadway above - those with dodgy kneecaps might wish to know this!.. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will visit again.

David

Great location and a unique building.

David

A great location, handy for the town, literally a 2 minute walk. The local restaurants are good but need booking 3 or 4 days in advance. Despite there being no on site parking there is lots of space at the top of the path.. The cate at the bottom of the steps does good coffee and crepes, ideal for breakfast.

Susan

A quirky property in a good location, with pleasant sea views. Not ideal for four people as only three comfortable chairs and only two available spaces at the breakfast bar. Welcome pack was just a pint of milk! A very cold property in certain weather conditions, with no access to heating controls. Downstairs shower room, very very small and unpleasant to use. Position of double bed in the upstairs bedroom not ideal, due to the apex beam. Lacks some basic kitchen equipment. The door to the ice making compartment in fridge is broken and held in place by a piece of cardboard.

Paul

This is a unique property with stunning views of Sheringham's beautiful beach. The property itself is lovely, has an interesting history and a fantastic location.

Simon

Great location, very relaxing, will be returning later in the year. No Wi-Fi installed in the property, and mobile signal very poor on all networks.
