Flintstones in Sheringham

02/05/2024

If you're a fan of Dad's Army, Hi-de-Hi or 'Allo 'Allo then the Classic Sitcom Weekend at North Norfolk Railway PLC sounds like a great way to spend a bank holiday. Flintstones is booked up this weekend but this is definitely one to check the dates for in 2025.

Meanwhile we only have one week left in May from the 17th to the 24th - and - listen very carefully I shall say zis only once - it's currently on special offer. Please send us a message for more information.

Join us as Weybourne Station is taken over for three days of fun inspired by the classic sitcoms filmed there! Enjoy live music, classic vehicles,…

Some recent guests left these very kind words in our visitors' book. Thank you so much - we're delighted you enjoyed your first visit to Norfolk. May is booking up fast, just one week available now.

It's helpful to know the tide times when on holiday if you are planning a walk down to the beach but this year we struggled to find copies of the tide tables as our usual source didn't have any. Luckily local shop had some so if you book a stay with us this summer you'll be able to check the best time to swim.

What a great idea. We have a lovely original artwork featuring Felbrigg Hall at Flintstones and now it's even easier to get there and you don't have to worry about finding a space and then paying for parking - especially if you don't have NT membership.

Big bus news! 🚌

Starting today, a new weekday bus service by Sanders Coaches provides a greener way to travel to and from Felbrigg Hall, Gardens and Estate, for just £2 for a single fare.

Setting off from Sheringham (four per day) and Cromer (two per day), the fully accessible 18-seat busses will provide a unique view of Felbrigg Hall, travelling through the scenic estate to drop off and pick up passengers in the visitor car park.

The route provides a unique view of Felbrigg Hall, travelling through the scenic estate to drop off and pick up passengers in the visitor car park.

As a Good Journey attraction, anyone arriving car-free receives 20% off entry and 10% off in the Squire's Pantry tea-room.

This little robin was hard to spot at first when cutting the grass at Flintstones yesterday, but he was a chirpy little fellow in the sunshine.

It's one of the best places to live (and in fact we know some of our previous guests at Flintstones have also moved here so it must be true) but it's also a lovely place to come on holiday. If you want to remind yourself how lovely it is we still have availability over the Easter holidays for a week or short break. https://www.northnorfolknews.co.uk/news/24192707.sheringham-named-sunday-times-best-places-live-2024/?fbclid=IwAR1z7m1o_w76aGkXxIZ029c0sxVUCRViY0LXnzG80Y7EAOc9fKuJdJOz42w

Locals have said Sheringham is a "seaside paradise" after the Norfolk town was named in The Sunday Times' Best Places to Live 2024

The Viking Festival - previously advertised as April 6 has now been put back to the following weekend (13th). It's a fantastic event and well worth seeing. We have availability for a week or weekend break starting on Friday 12th. Much of the daytime activity (until about 4pm) takes place on Beeston Common literally just over the road with the evening parade through the town starting in the station car park which is about a ten minute walk. We've got a reduced rate for bookings starting on Friday 12 April especially for this event.

The Vikings are coming….are you?

We are so lucky to have the North Norfolk Railway here in Sheringham. They always put on some fabulous events throughout the year and while we have bookings at Flintstones for quite a few of them there are still some available dates. A special event this April commemorates 60 years since the infamous Dr Beeching closed the line - and we do have availability for it. Do take a look at some of the other events they have planned too.

25/02/2024

Always love this time of year with signs of spring appearing everywhere including Flintstones front garden. Let us know if you're thinking of a spring break in Sheringham.

The Vikings are coming.... but they have had to change the date to ensure the tide is low enough for the spectacular boat burning at the beach that rounds off the festival. It's now Saturday 13 April. We have availability for this fabulous family event much of which takes place right opposite us. As it's not in school holidays this year we've got plenty of room for - say - grandparents staying for the whole week and other family members coming for the Vikings and just staying the weekend. Drop us a line if you'd like to find out ways of making the most of of your stay for this great event

We have just put some last minute offers up for early March for a 4 night (Mon-Fri) or week long break. Details here:

Wishing all our guests a very happy 2024 and thank you to all who chose Flintstones for a break in 2023. We have been letting Flintstones since 2016 and in that time I have always wished we could see the sea from the house. Well I have just realised we can in the far distance from the nursery window. Not quite enough to market as having sea views but - as Basil Fawltey once said - it's over there between the land and the sky!

Just love this from our favourite bakery (and from where we always try to purchase the cakes that many of our guests will have enjoyed on their welcome tray). Supporting local businesses is really important to us and we'll be sharing some posts throughout this month on our page. If you are planning a stay at Flintstones then hopefully it will give you some ideas of shops to check out during your visit too. Thank you The Bakehouse Sheringham.

The Norfolk Lights Express launches tomorrow and is a fabulous experience on the North Norfolk Railway but it's already getting very booked up with some trains completely sold out. If you are thinking of a break in Sheringham in order to experience this train ride like no other make sure you book your tickets at the same time (or before) you book your accommodation to avoid disappointment. https://www.nnrailway.co.uk/norfolk-lights-express/

It's extremely unusual not to have a booking for October half term yet - especially as there is so much to do in North Norfolk during that week. So we are putting up a special Facebook only offer for a week from next Friday October 20 or for a week from Friday October 27 for just £550. We will be advertising on our regular platforms also a discounted rate but this is the lowest you can get it. Contact us via this page (or our email if you have stayed before and already have those details) with Facebook offer. Please note - this is a 7 night price only. For comparison a 4 night stay would normally be £520. A small additional charge for a dog still applies. And look at all these fab things to do in the area too!

There’s plenty of family-fun in north Norfolk during October 2023 half term including a few spooky goings-on! Find out what’s on.

Love insta? Then you need to visit the North Norfolk Coast according to this... https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/23679725.guardian-names-north-norfolk-coast-best-spots-uk/?ref=socialflow&fbclid=IwAR0fZ1PhPp_G8FnbB2cyGdAIGpPu6pC7avAqjewYT0B7IsKU-n5qMBaaTtw

It's also a lovely place to visit on holiday...

Sheringham, Norfolk, has been named as one of the best places to live by the sea according to The Sunday Times.

You've probably heard about the famous 1940s weekend in Sheringham (which we are already booked for) but did you know that the North Norfolk Railway also holds a 1960s weekend - and amazingly we are not yet booked for that week. It's the first week of the school holidays so we don't think this week will be empty for long but if you drop us a message to book the week and mention you've seen this post we'll give you a special 60's discount too.

A Mon-Fri break starting either 15th or 22nd May is now £410 or a week long break starting either Friday 12 or Friday 19 May now £550. A further small discount may also be available if you are travelling as a couple and only require the master bedroom. Come and enjoy beach walks and sunsets in Sherngham for a few days before everything starts to get busy again for half term week. Message us through the Flintstones in Sheringham page if you'd like to know more

We had a lovely lunch here a few days ago - it was sunny so we sat outside with our dog but inside the main bar is dog friendly. Two minutes walk from Flintstones (used to be the Dunstable Arms) and really worth a visit if you are staying.

This is where you can book if you don’t want to leave your best friend at home. Bring them with you as we are completely dog-friendly in the lounge.🐶🐶

You get the same great service you would in The restaurant. Here it is all laid up ready for busy evening service.

The Steam Gala at North Norfolk Railway is next weekend. Why not make a week of it and book in at Flintstones to enjoy everything that Sheringham has to offer. If you're travelling as a couple and only require the master bedroom then we can also give a low occupancy discount too. Send a message to this page for more info

Thank you so much to the team at The Fishmongers Tavern in Sheringham who held a reception for local businesses to mark their opening this evening. For those who have stayed at Flintstones previously this is the building that used to be the Dunstable Arms pub just a couple of minutes walk away. It looks amazing now - they've worked so hard on this transformation. And If the canapes their chefs served up tonight are anything to go by the food is going to be superb too. We can't wait to visit for a meal and hope our guests staying at Flintstones this spring and summer will also enjoy it.

25/03/2023

We have been so excited to have followed the transformation of what was The Dunstable Arms to The Fishmongers Tavern which opens to the public on April 1st. It's a two minute walk from Flintstones and will be a real asset for guests who fancy a night off from the cooking without having to travel too far. Dogs will be allowed in the lounge area too and although the menu will be an introductory menu for their first fortnight of being open the full menu will be available from 14 April. https://www.fishmongerstavern.co.uk/menu We have some availability in April after Easter so why not book a short break and see for yourself?

This looks like a lot of fun. And the week commencing Friday 7 July is available currently at Flintstones too....... If little ones need to go back to school we have room for (for example) grandparents to book and stay for the whole week with other members of the family staying just for the weekend - best of both worlds?

Holkham Hall in north Norfolk is putting on a huge showing of Matilda this summer.

It's great to see how well the restaurant scene is doing in Sheringham at the moment - after our last post about the award-winning Indian restaurant, now we have another local business expanding into the food market and don't forget the former Dunstable Arms just along the road from us is also set to reopen in 2023 as a fish restaurant. Stay at Flintstones next year and you may not need to cook at all (although we'll keep the kitchen well-equipped if you do wish to!) https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/23144502.norfolk-small-plates-restaurant-quarter-deck-opens/?

The Quarter Deck in Sheringham, Norfolk, has opened its doors and is offering punters small plates and beers from around the world.

Fantastic news for one of our local restaurants. We have enjoyed excellent food from the Sheringham restaurant and many guests at Flintstones have told us they have too - some saying it's among the best curry they have ever had.

Labone Indian Cuisine which has outlets in North Walsham, Sheringham and Lowestoft has been placed among the best in the UK after winning a national award.
