Searching for Sheringham Cottages in Norfolk is easy

Situated on the beautiful North Norfolk coast, Sheringham is ideally placed to truly enjoy the best of Norfolk. It is the perfect, traditional seaside town with all the attractions one would expect. If you are looking for a great UK family destination which harks back to yesteryear, then this is definitely it.

Perennially popular with families throughout the ages, Sheringham is a superb UK family holiday destination. This is now more true than ever, given the exchange rate which means that UK holidays are far more attractive than in the Eurozone.

The town focuses around the main high street where you will find some wonderful shops and some excellent fish and chip restaurants and ice cream parlours selling just about every flavour imaginable. There are also several quaint antiques and bric-a-brac shops in which you can spend countless hours browsing and hunting out collectibles.  At one end of the town you will find a small train station where you can board the North Norfolk Railway. At the other end, take a stroll along the cliff tops and from here you will get great views down to the beach, made up of a ridge of pebbles and beautiful clean washed sands. A great place for families to get away from it all and re-connect.

Sheringham is also well placed to enjoy the North Norfolk area and there is plenty to do. The National Trust locations of Sheringham Park, Felbrigg Hall and Blickling Hall are all nearby.

Just two miles south of Sheringham is the stunning Sheringham Park. It is a super place for the whole family with acres of woodland to explore either on foot or on bike, magnificent views of the coast from the viewing towers and displays of rhododendrons and azalea blooms in May and June.

Part of the National Trust, Felbrigg Hall, Garden and Park is a striking estate but a short distance away. It is one of the finest 17th Century country houses in the UK with much to explore inside and out with several lakeside and natural trails to explore through the parkland.

Searching for Sheringham cottages need not be a chore.

Whether you are looking for a coastal property which affords you the opportunity to go on lots of bracing walks along the North Norfolk coast, or searching for self-catering accommodation inland, there is choice for all tastes.

Money Saving While on Holiday

As a child, I used to holiday in self catering accommodation with my parents. We’d hire a caravan for a week on one of those holiday parks. Check out http://www.travelglobal.co.uk/Self-Catering-Articles.php

I used to enjoy the environment as there was a pool and slot machines nearby, not to mention the beach and a small harbour where I went fishing.  They used to be fantastic holidays!

One of the things I remember is my parents cooking dinner. It was like home from home and I enjoyed it. I don’t think any child really enjoys eating out in restaurants like an adult does and anyway, the facilities you find these days for children, didn’t really exist in those days. I always deem myself lucky for those happy days. I would certainly recommend self catering for families.

We used to have a large breakfast in our self catering accommodation, then at lunch time, we would have something very light. For dinner, we would either eat out or have dinner where we were staying. As an adult now, I have done the same, and it works out quite a money saver. Of course, I didn’t have a large breakfast if I was going swimming in the morning!

To save money when I’m on holiday now, I usually eat in pubs as they tend to offer the best value for food. Without a shadow of doubt, eating out is the bulk of your spending on holidays, and this can be controlled quite easily without affecting your enjoyment.

Use Concierge Services to the Best

When we are on a tour, we usually desire that our groceries should be ordered, delivered and kept aside before we come home. This can be dealt with in various ways. However the most economical one is to offer a credit card number as well as budget to the concierge service to spend and grocery list to buy. However it is important to be practical with this budget as against the list. An expert concierge can easily do it for you. So you can save and enjoy the luxury of reaching the property to see it is stocked as per your wish.
If you love any activity like golfing, diving or fishing and intend to do it on your holiday, then ask a concierge to book a suitable excursion activity for you beforehand, so you can rest assured you can do it during your holidays. Actually, a concierge service can schedule any event beforehand. Make good use of this service. You will be surprised that a lot of it can be done either for free or at nominal cost.
A good concierge can understand their clients very well. They do have all the requisite information about local events like dates, times, tickets and availability. While information is priceless but is quite cheap.
Looking to go biking or seeing a local play? The concierge service can rent a bike or book tickets for you. They can deliver a newspaper or collect your clothes from laundry. All you need to do is simply ring them up. But the best part is the service does not cost much. But it will let you enjoy a carefree vacation.
