About this property

Built in the Art Deco era, this three-storey, end-of-terrace house (formerly two adjacent houses) offers bright rooms, sea views, and sleeping arrangements for up to 20 people – all in a fantastic clifftop position overlooking Sheringham beach.

The house has been arranged with large family gatherings in mind, and we’ve tried our best to cater for all your needs. On the ground floor there is a very large, open-plan living area with a well-stocked kitchen, ample comfortable seating, and a large dining table. There’s also a games room with table football and pool/snooker, and an enclosed, sea-facing patio with outdoor furniture and a barbecue.

In terms of location, you’d be hard-pressed to find somewhere better. The (dog-friendly) East Beach is only three minutes’ walk away, the North Norfolk Coastal Path begins almost on our doorstep, and Sheringham town centre (known for its old-fashioned seaside atmosphere and thriving independent shops) is just five minutes’ walk away.

You’ll find more information about our facilities below, but if there’s anything else you’d like to know, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Blooming brilliant

Somehow the photos don’t give how spacious it is. It was an absolute joy when I walked in. The grandchildren didn’t want to leave. Loads of comfy furniture to enable family to have a good catch up. Equipment in the kitchen made catering so easy.

Great location but property needs some work

We’ve stayed here a number of times before and it works perfect for our large group across all ages from 3-70. The location is fantastic and waking up to the sea view is always a great way to start the day. The property does need some TLC. All bathrooms could do with an uplift. One shower had a broken temperature gauge so you couldn’t change it at all. Decking outside had few broken bits and the place could do with a deep clean. Cupboards and corners are dusty. The price is almost double for next year so we’ve found somewhere else We’ve enjoyed our times here but can’t justify the new cost for this property.

Family holiday

We came over from NZ to meet up with all my husbands children and grandchildren. Perfect spot. Spent everyday at the beach when the tide was out. Beautiful weather and beach with lots of swims. Great space as there was 12 of us. Good facilities with good number of bathrooms. Well kitted out kitchen. Lovely views from deck outside. Didn't use bbq but everything provided if we wanted to. Great 18 hole pitting course at the top of the street. Very pretty township which was easily accessed along the promenade. Would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to create lovrly family memories. We have left with lots.

80th Birthday family celebration

We recently rented this house for a long weekend for my mums 80th birthday. We had an age range from 4 to 83 ! The house is great , very spacious, beautiful views and well located . The little touches like the room names & subtle decor gave it character . The kitchen was incredibly well equipped with 2 of everything including dishwashers . There was a brilliant long table and lots of crockery! It was light and airy and we didn’t feel over crowded with 17 of us . If I had to make a criticism it would be the sofas , these have seen better days but it would not put me off booking again. We really enjoyed our stay .

Great holiday

This is the third time I have taken my family to the Queen Mary ranging from 10 - 80 years. The kids in particular love it. If you are looking for “posh” this is not for you but the place is so well equipped with 2 of everything and it is ideal. The bathroom in the first floor needs attention. The shower is showing wear and tear and looks a bit sad. The children love the games room on the top floor and access to the beach is great. Probably not so good for those with mobility issues. It’s a short walk into town and it’s priced very reasonably for a property that sleeps so many. A large patio with BBQ overlooking beach is ideal. The grass area beyond the patio needs regularly attention otherwise you can’t see the sea from the property. I would definitely go again

80th Birthday Family Gathering

This property was ideal for 18 family members and 2 small dogs. The weather wasn’t brilliant but the games room, books etc in the accommodation was ideal along with a few items we supplied. I think better photos are required as the current ones do not reflect the property, it is much better than presented. Due to the school holidays and bank holiday, parking was a nightmare for the additional vehicles. Some elements are getting tired but I think this is reflected in the rate. More than adequate provisions of kitchen utensils, dining utensils etc. Overall a great place for a family gathering and I would not hesitate to use it again. 4.5 out of 5.

Birthday celebration

The house was very large suitable in size for our family of 19. However the upstairs rooms were noisy and not suitable for our age ranges the teenagers couldn’t use the games room when the small ones were asleep. The main problem was the oven the door wouldn’t close so cooking the turkey was quite a challenge. The parking was a problem as we had 4 cars we were told there was plenty of parking in the nearby road, this was not the case it must be a nightmare in summer.

Big Birthday Bash

Birthday celebration with the whole immediate family, 14 of us. The house was spacious, very well located and had the necessary equipment. However, the oven proved a little slow and we could have done with more bin liners and some essential cleaning products and while the patio area had lovely views, the seating did not encourage time outside. The beds were comfortable and the linen was very fresh. The seating in the dining area and the comfy sofas met our needs. We would recommend this house for large groups.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Cloutman

We first went on holiday to Sheringham with our four children in 1994 and loved its unspoiled character. We bought a holiday home there in 2005 and the opportunity to purchase Queen Mary House followed in 2007. We were knocked out by the position looking directly out to sea - as are all of the visitors to Seacliff. We love visiting Sheringham and the nearby coastline with opportunities to mess about in boats and then come "home" to all the facilities in Sheringham and the friends that we have made locally.

We are always available to contact during your stay and have local help to cover most situations.

Why they chose this property

We loved the location, the friendly neighbours and the local facilities all within walking distance.
