  • Peaceful location within strolling distance of Snettisham beach
  • Within a few minutes' walk of RSPB Snettisham and a watersports centre
  • Three miles from the shops, pubs and restaurants of Snettisham village
Spectacular sunsets, deer safaris and splendid stargazing... round up the lot at the peaceful holiday park of Shepherds Port Corner in north Norfolk. An easy few minutes' amble from Snettisham beach (scene of the sunset in the pics above), Shepherd's Port is in a wildlife and stargazing haven within easy reach of several lakes for days of outdoor adventuring and/or gentle waterside wanders. Canoeing, paddleboarding and kitesurfing are all available close by, or you could let someone else show you the ropes with a sailing course at Snettisham Sailing Club half a mile away. RSPB Snettisham is also within simple strolling distance and Snettisham Park (scene of the deer safaris) is 10 minutes' from the site. Previous guests have hailed many fab aspects of this fab little park: its friendly helpful team, its closeness to the beach, its peaceful vibe... and you may be chuffed to hear that there's a highly rated fish and chip shop within walking distance too – and a pub on site with occasional entertainment. Accommodation at Shepherd's Port is in static caravans, each with their own kitchens, cooking kit and barbecues. Shops, cafés and more fish and chips are at Snettisham under 10 minutes' drive away; Hunstanton is 15 minutes from the site.

What customers say

The property offers a quirky railway carriage design and a peaceful, wildlife-rich location near Snettisham beach, with comfortable sofas and ample utensils. However, guests reported issues with the property being cold, musty, and dated, with a poorly functioning shower and slow sink water. Concerns were also raised about the electricity meter costs, uncomfortable beds, broken kitchen appliances, and unkempt outdoor areas. Some visitors experienced difficult access due to muddy tracks and narrow entrances.

Kaarina J.

Railway 3 bedroom cottage / chalet / bungalow

Liked The sofas were comfortable. There was enough intensils to be able to cook whilst staying here . My son really liked the kirkuness of the train door . The wild life we saw a deer.

Disliked The property is big it's very cold, the freezer wasn't on when we arrived. The beds arnt comfortable. The middle sleeping area had little privacy . The shower didn't heat up much , the water in the bathroom sink is very slow. There was a very musty smell when we arrived. The outdoor area looks very unkept. The turn and entrance was very narrow . Some windows didnt close probley which created gaps allowing cold air in. The sink in the bathroom was dusty when we arrived .

Allyson C.

Railway 3 bedroom cottage / chalet / bungalow

Liked The beautiful sunsets and knowing I was there to see Michael Buble in sandringham.

Disliked Very dated. Smelt fusty and very cold we had to cut our stay short as it was to cold. It was a £1 meter for electric and it was eating it. The water trickled out the taps so made it difficult to clean teeth properly or have a good shower. It felt like I was stepping back into time. The bedroom situation was a weird set up. The bed was rickety it just wasn’t a pleasant stay. We had no communication where to pick a key up from. It definitely wasn’t for us.

Gemma S.

Railway 3 bedroom cottage / chalet / bungalow

Liked A lovely cottage/chalet about 5 minutes walk from Snettisham beach. The railway carriage park of the chalet was really quirky. Lots of places to visit in the local area including Hunstanton, Castle Rising. Also highly recommended Watatunga Nature Safari which is about half an hour away.

Disliked Beds were a bit hard and everything local seemed to be closed on Monday so was difficult to find somewhere to eat. Also a bit more warning about the electricity meter before arrival would be nice, rather than on the welcome email sent a few days before arrival.

No wifi and the roads was full of bumps which had damaged our car.

Disliked When we booked that place the owner did not mention anything about the electricity metre.
Few weeks later when the owner received all his money, then he informed us about electricity metre by email which went directly to my junk box so we spent the first night without any heating or lighting.
At the end I spend almost 50 pounds just to have electricity for three night over there.

Nicolas O.

Railway 3 bedroom cottage / chalet / bungalow

Liked Easy check-in. Private space as the opposite caravan hadn't been booked. Plenty of space for 4 adults.

Disliked Kitchen wasn't great - oven and grill broken, one of the hobs broken, plus the frying pans were unusable. Shower didn't really heat up. Whole place was musty.

#68 2 bedroom static caravan

Liked The area - lots of wildlife, very peaceful ( I went out of season, October-November)
The caravan - very snug and warm. I only spent £7 in the electricity meter.
The owners - very easy and helpful to communicate with.

Disliked Although there are stone tracks in the driveway, it can get very muddy during wet weather - which we had! I'm sure it's fine in drier weather.

Local attractions

The park's setting so close to the beach makes it a hit with active types as well as families, who come to fish, paddle and swim in the waters off the beach, take a canoe or other craft out from the shore, or find a sandy spot to stretch out on for the day. The beach is dog friendly. Take time too for at least a few hours at RSPB Snettisham, famed in these parts as a birdwatching haven as well as one of the very few beaches in Norfolk facing west. Thousands of wading and migratory birds can be seen here in autumn and winter, but there's loads to see all year round: look out for peregrine falcons overhead, and plovers, oystercatchers, curlews and geese on and around the water. Also west-facing, take a day at Hunstanston 15 minutes away for another beach as well as the SEA LIFE Sanctuary, and Holkham (40 minutes) for a spectacularly scenic stretch of sand (so much so it was used for the closing scenes in Shakespeare in Love). Sheringham and Cromer are just over an hour away. For a spot of history – and possibly quite a bit of envy – the royal residence at Sandringham Estate is within 15 minutes' drive.
