Excellent location. The house has everything you need, its really quiet tucked in the side street with parking, local shop has everyday needs, beach over the road. Bus routes each way every 30 minutes. It's downsides are stairs inside the property not suitable for small children and the steep hill to the beach. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Orchard Cottage
This was our second stay at Orchard Cottage. It is well located and has everything that you would want. We love the fact it has a front garden and rear courtyard, which we made use of. The log burner is an added bonus. We made use of the conservatory this time. The only grumble I have is it would be nice to have larger towels, as the ones provided are a bit small. There were some additional extras from last time, the coat stand and show rack, which we found useful. The cottage is well located. We booked Sunday lunch at the Pub opposite and made use of the village shop. We will definitely be back again.
We loved our time at the cottage. It’s so close to the sea and perfect for outings along the north Norfolk coast. Homely cottage with two small garden options and plenty of room downstairs
All your needs, nice courtyard, for afternoons,also bench in the backyard, very nice

Lovely holiday
Had a really lovely holiday in this very nice cottage. Second time staying there, really clean and comfortable, every need catered for.
Really appreciate the key safe, much much easier than having to go into Sheringham to collect and return the keys.
Highly recommend.
We had a lovely stay but feel that the property could do with some TLC comments left with agents
A lovely location to stay with access to the beach only a few minutes walk away, property is ok but maybe a little basic and could do with a deep clean and tidying up of paintwork
Arrived at property to be greeted with a bottle of bubbly and chocolates, as a Christmas/New Year gesture waiting for us, which was a pleasant surprise.
Nice warm property.
Feel that some areas of the property could do with up date ie, the bathroom.
All said would definitely stay again as location for amenities etc was very good.
Surprisely large 2 bedroom cottage, very well equipped kitchen and household essentials. Clean and comfortable and extremely close to a beautiful beach. Wonderful stay , friendly neighbours, had our small dogs with us perfect for them, front and back enclosed garden.
Highly recommend

Perfect location for us!
We were looking for a dog friendly cottage in East Runton and this was a great find for us. Set back slightly from the road and with plenty of room to park our estate car it was quiet and easily accessible. Yes, occasionally the entrance was blocked but it had stated this in the welcome pack and the neighbours had either already been to check it was ok or were just unloading shopping.
The cottage was much larger than we had expected with plenty of space in all rooms except the kitchen where it was generally best to work alone. The overall condition was pretty good. The bathroom could do with finishing properly and the kitchen could do with a maintenance overhaul (please sort out the issue with the fridge & drawer). We didn't venture out into the rear yard but the front garden was well presented and in full bloom so nice to sit out in after our days exploring.
Having 2 television sets was great for us as it meant us girls could settle down to our programme whilst the man of the party could enjoy something else.
Dog walking around Norfolk is always wonderful but what more could you ask for by having beach access approximately 2 minutes walk away. We like to walk along the beach to either West Runton or Cromer and then back in along the road. Both pubs are dog friendly and offer good service. The fish & chip shop is great and the local Nisa store has an excellent range of food & drinks etc.
Of course there were down sides to this cottage and we're being picky. The details stated that all non recyclable waste must go into the black bin bags provided, unfortunately, despite searching the house, only one black bag had been left for the whole week. It might be just us but the double bed was ridiculously soft and uncomfortable to the point my partner slept in the conservatory most of the week. We would have preferred 2 sets of keys as we like to get up early to walk the dog and it meant we had to lock mum in the house for security (handbags etc) but with no means of escape in an emergency. We also like to split up and do different things during the day so we had to 'synchronise watches' and set a time to meet up. Collecting and returning the keys to Sheringham was also a real bind.
On the whole, we loved it - would we return? Maybe
We have had a fabulous break in your cottage in East Runton. Lovely to be able to walk to the beach and walk our dog daily. Great location for exploring Sheringham and Cromer as well as the East Norfolk coastline .

Family holiday
We would have referred to have a key safe at the property because it is difficult getting the key from Sherringham due to parking. The grandchildren loved the easy access to the beach. The property was warm and cosy with plenty of hot water .the shower could do with an upgrade.

Lovely at East Runton
Orchard Cottage is in a great location in East Runton, So close to the beach!! - literally less than a 5 minute walk. The Cottage is warm and cosy and sleeps 5 easily and comfortably... Pet Friendly so we were able to talk our puppy which was a bonus for us.
Plenty of space with a conservatory on property so if you were a family of 5 there was space to spread out.
Small galley kitchen with hob. microwave, fridge and small freezer as well as a washing machine/dryer. (with 2 washing capsules and washing up liquid provided!) Totally adequate for our needs when away. We stocked up at the local Tesco in Sheringham and had fish and chips locally from Will's Plaice. (very good!) Dining area off kitchen was comfortable
Up a windy staircase was a huge bathroom with very powerful shower over a large bath (A mirror at the sink would have helped!, made for an interesting shave!) The double bedroom was large and had a soft double bed, blinds and curtains at windows (street light can shine through so holding the curtain to the blind with a hair clip assisted or get a bright light at head view!) Massive wardrobe and chest of drawers provided.
Lounge area was cosy (wood burner available), with storage heaters. Large stony garden area to front and paved patio area at back both enclosed with patio furniture.
TV with Freeview as well as a TV in conservatory with DVD player as well and a DAB Radio provided. The "Guide to Property & local area/amenities" was a nice touch
A pub and restaurant over the road and a local village shop for emergency supplies - or an ice cream!

Clean and comfortable cottage to stay in.
Very comfortable and clean cottage, our dog was quite happy. There was a mirror in every room and down the stairs, felt could have done with a mirror near washbasin.
