Pub details last checked October 2026.
Sheringham is the western end of the Bittern Line and the eastern end of the heritage North Norfolk Railway, with a shingle beach, a sea wall lined with beach huts and a High Street that runs down towards the water. Three of our four pubs are in the town itself, close enough to the sea that the beach is a short walk from each.
The Lobster Inn on the High Street runs its rooms alongside the pub and is open about dogs: they are welcome in the pub, and stay in the rooms for £10 a night. Fishmongers Tavern, on Cromer Road, has four bedrooms and a dog-friendly lounge bar. The Two Lifeboats, a pub dating to about 1720 on the High Street, has six en-suite rooms above the bar. Three miles west along the coast, the Ship Inn at Weybourne is a flint-walled village pub with four rooms and dogs welcome in the bar.
Dog policies in Sheringham are less documented than elsewhere on this coast — three of the four don’t say anything about bedrooms — so we’ve marked those as unknown rather than guess. A phone call before you book will settle it.
Not in Sheringham itself, but close enough to stay — the town's shops, pubs and sights are only a short trip in from any of these.
