The perfect cottage, right next to the beach. We could not find any faults at all, just perfect. They really have thought of everything. We stay in a lot of properties in Norfolk and beyond and this is a 10/10.We have booked again for July, so that tells you everything.

Best beach & dunes holiday with 4 dogs

The property was perfectly located for us with our 4 Cocker Spaniels.The property had everything that we need except an outside tap & hose but we had the wherewithal with trug and watering can to minimise sand entering the property.We were blessed with fantastic weather & only used the car once to find a swimming pool. The local supermarket was well stocked and a great fish & chip shop.. it is our second visit to Winterton on Sea & will definitely be back sometime.

Lovely location

So close to the sea, out of the back gate and onto the dunes. A comfortable and well kitted out property. I think the cleanliness of the accommodation could be better, it’s looking a little grubby unnecessarily. Skirting boards could do with a wipe, black mould on the bathroom ceiling and cobwebs in various corners. A used tissue under a bed from a previous visitor. Despite this, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend as Winterton Cottages

Fantastic

Wonderful chalet. Had a great Christmas stay in Beachside Cottage. Big dog safe garden overlooking the dunes. Lovely layout of house. Nice and warm and cosy. Cooked our Christmas dinner in the kitchen. Brought the table in from the conservatory to eat it. Bedroom are a lovely size too. Winterton is very dog friendly. Have stayed in Winterton many times. Would stay again in this chalet

Amazing!

We have had a wonderful time. The Cottage is lovely, very comfortable, well equipped and clean. Perfect location near to the beach. The beach is so clean and it was wonderful to see a few Seals bob their heads up at night time in the sea. Our Cockapoo absolutely loved it on the beach too. We have already booked to go back next year. Highly recommend a short trip to Waxham Barns where the Dunes Cafe has relocated, food is fantastic there. The local fish & chip shop in Winterton is lovely too. Winterton-on-sea is amazing and we cannot wait to go back again and stay at the Beachside Cottage as it is so lovely.

AMAZING!!

The location of this cottage is simply the best and offers everything you could need for a get away from it all break! Great size secure garden for our dog to sniff round and the canopy/porch at the back door where we could leave sandy boots was really handy! The gate onto the dunes was just fantastic and is nowhere near a public thoroughfare so we didn’t see a soul all week from the garden or view from the lounge and conservatory! Great for both beech walks or walks along the beautiful grassy dunes if you occasionally want a sandy free dog! We were greeted by a beautiful selection of goodies by our host and had a very comfortable and cosy stay! We will be back for sure! Thank you!

Love this holiday cottage

The cottage is great. As is it’s location and especially the garden in the summertime.we have stayed here many times. Unfortunately, and not for the first time, the cleanliness lets it down big time. Cobwebs everywhere ! All over front door. In the kitchen. The stairwell. Main bedroom. In all corners of the bathroom. And the UPVC conservatory looks like it not been cleaned for months ! Open any door and window and look at the surround. All black with mould. The owner needs to pay a surprise visit to the house 1/2 hour before new renters move in to see for he self. She would be as horrified as we were. Great holiday home. Very poor cleaner
