Fab holiday, whatever the weather
We love this holiday apartment for its amazing location. It's a treat to be able to view the sunrise from 2 bedroom windows and sunset from the living room and terrace. It's well equipped (although the tv isn't great) with all you could need. 2 minute walk into the sea, a short stroll to shops, pubs and restaurants and easy access to the coastal path.

Nice accommodation with fantastic views
The Plaice is a great place to stay with amazing views of the beach and sea. The accommodation is good with everything you might need. The pool / table tennis / air hockey table was a hit with the teenagers. Outside space is limited, but a nice place to sit. On nice days there are a lot of people walking past the gate on their way to and from the car park.
Parking is in the public long stay car park which is just a few steps away. A weekly ticket is good value and we never had a problem finding a space.
We had a great holiday and would definitely visit again.

Great location, apartment was exactly what we expected.
The Plaice is really conveniently located to the Cliifs Road Car Park, halfway down the stairs to the beach; very convenient.
The apartment itself has probably the best and closest view of the beach there is, and slept us all comfortably in really good beds.
The facilities were excellent; kitchen, bathroom and shower room, living space, games table all good.
Two minor niggles; the towels were on the small side, and the TV is definitely too small; I had to set the wi-fi up on it when we first arrived.
We will return!
Many thanks

Well needed break - couldn’t have been any better 10 stars!
I was meant to be in USA for my 60th, but our Sons health dictated a location near to certain hospitals.
I am so pleased with being able to stay in ‘The Plaice’.
Location couldn’t be any closer to the beach. Views from the bedrooms and lounge were perfect.
We were lucky to have nice weather, but wouldn’t have cared if the weather was bad.
I had family visit for my day, and the games table went down a treat.
We did have a problem with a leak, but Caretaker Sam and Owner dealt with it promptly.
Everything was there that you needed, so well thought out - down to needle and cotton!
Bath sheets could be bigger, but won’t stop me booking again.
Thank you x

Another lovely week
This is the second time we have stayed here . The location and view could not be any better . This is why we returned . Lots of people do pass right by your door as its on the steps from the long stay car park but we didn't find this an issue at all . Everyone is fascinated by the building as it used to be a cafe/bar.
I would however say it is getting tired. The mattresses and bed linen are old. The towels had seen better days. There's no carpet anywhere . Hard floor tiles and laminate in the bedroom. So coming out the bathroom with no mats in the bedroom etc . One big downside is no outdoor tap . You come back from the beach covered in sand and have no way of washing it off so you end up trailing into the accommodation and washing it down the shower/bath . The shower kept backing up with sludge and sand from previous occupants. The windows are also dirty we asked for them to be cleaned prior to our arrival this time and the housekeeper did her best but I couldn't believe they are not professionally cleaned regularly being right by the sea and above a cafe . The frames outside were green. The outside area is also tired now. Saying that the view and location is so fantastic I would go again .

Amazing beach front accommodation
We had a very relaxing family holiday at The Plaice. The views are outstanding and the property is only a short walk from shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. The property has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the kitchen area was very well equipped. It was lovely to get to sleep at night with the sound of the waves.

Another great stay
This was my third visit to the plaice. The location cannot be beaten . The view is amazing. This was the first visit in the winter months and very different to peak summer. The tide comes very close with large waves ( we were there in the stormy week at the end of November) it was fabulous to watch. The property was lovely and warm to hunker down in when the weather was less than favourable. The property is a little tierd and could do with a spruce up but it doesn't take away from the experience. The town has a great deal of independent shops that sells everything you can think of . Lots of eateries and pubs full of friendly people. I have absolutely no doubt we will book again for next year. The dog loves it too !

Great location
Perfect location and well provisioned.
Some fixtures and fittings a little 'tired', but everything provided that you could need, including binoculars and beach toys.
Beds are firm, which didn't suit us all, but the sound of the sea in the beach lulled all of us to sleep.
Handy for everything in Sheringham, which has loads to do and a lovely atmosphere.
A wonderful "Plaice" with an incomparable view, all the facilities you need and very comfortable beds.
I'll keep this property on my list and hope to re-visit one day.

Just what I wanted
All I wanted was to be able to see and hear the sea. There were lots of places to get take away food at excellent value and great taste ect. Only problem being disabled hell of a job to get in or out of property.

What a wonderful view.
We wanted time away where we could relax and watch the world go by and this property certainly gave us that. Could very easily take morning coffee/ afternoon tea down to the beach and sit on the rocks watching the sea. We did not eat out much as the view from the dining table was better than anywhere else.
Easy access to shops and takeaways. The cafe below was only open a few times, and did not disturb us, but summer when windows are open it could be different.
Had not appreciated in advance just how much noise the waves on the stones at high tide would make, especially when trying to go to sleep.
