This was our 2nd stay at Compass Rose, so we knew what to expect.
We had another lovely week, in Sheringham and beyond. We like the proximity to the beach/coastal path and to the High Street in Sheringham, the off road parking, comfy beds, 3 loos, well equipped kitchen and great location for exploring North Norfolk.
Higher speed Wi-Fi and a washing machine would be welcome additions to the cottage.
But, overall a relaxing and peaceful location, with great amenities on the doorstep.

Superb holiday home
A very roomy property with lots of character. Very close to the beach, pubs and restaurants. Off-road parking is a real bonus. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

An excellent cottage in a perfect position.
Keys are always amazing in their customer service. Efficient and friendly. We always book with them. Compass Rose is a home from home. Comfortable, clean and very spacious. A perfect position for the beach and town and added bonus of having 2 parking spaces.

A nice house to stay in near the sea
A very nice house, it looks small from the outside, but once you get inside there is loads of room, with plenty of seating, and only a five minute walk to the east beach or town, the only complaint we had to put in was that there is no lock on the upstairs toilet door, we will certainly try and book the house again.

Another very nice stay at Compass Rose
A comfortable, well equipped cottage in an extremely good position for the beachfront and town.
The new owners have added a family size fridge/freezer which was in our opinion very much needed.
A washing machine would be a very convenient addition too!
Would stay here again.

A lovely cosy cottage by the sea.
We spent a lovely week here. The cottage was cosy, comfortable and well equipped. Close to shops and the sea, with the added bonus of a parking space. A week of glorious weather was the icing on the cake!

Lovely Cottage in a Great Location
Very nice and clean cottage. Plenty of space and good facilities. All crockery and kitchen requirements you could need and three W.C’s was very useful with having a large family gathering in the evenings. Ideal location as only 100 yards from the beach front and similar distance to local shops and amenities. Would recommend.
