Cottage was comfortable, clean enough, and had everything we needed.Great being next to sand dunes/beach as was easy to take the dog for his walk straight out of the garden.Beach all sandy, and dog friendly. Dunes run for miles.Garden furniture - nice. Conservatory - nice. Dryer listed on website but does not exist.The pub and cafe were both dog friendly and had great food. Plus a fish and chip, and a very well stocked local store. Beach cafe too - presumably not open all year though.Weather was great too.

Paradise Beachside cottage.

We have been to Winterton on sea many times, but never stayed there before. Staying in beachside cottage was one of our most memorable holidays in Norfolk. Well done to Samantha and her team 10 out of 10.

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!

Property excellent position ( been before 10yrs ago) lovely enclosed garden. On the surface looks clean but could do with a bit of spring cleaning in places . BBQ is a definite NO. Needs a step stool in kitchen as cupboards quiet high if you are short. Overall its a lovely cottage you won't be disappointed excellent dog friendly place.

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

Clean house and secure garden

We found Beachside Cottage more than adequate for our needs and came up to our expectations although the kitchen is undeniably small. The garden was totally secure which meant we could relax whilst our 2 dogs went outside. What we would have found helpful would have been short notes on how to live in the cottage. The oven dials had been worn off through cleaning and as it was not the same model as ours at home it took a few attempts to fire it up, similarly the stove top.Once mastered it worked well. Ditto the microwave. We didnt even try to work the washing machine or dishwasher. The complimentary tea, coffee, biscuits, fudge, PROSECCO was very generous and much enjoyed. The village and location is great and we made use of the Fisherman's Return pub for a few meals and also hearty breakfasts. The sea is only a couple of hundred metres away, but if you have any joint problems, ( I have a knee replacement,) the slither down to the beach is quite steep and a bit concerning. For most people it would be of no consequence at all, but we found we went to the beach at Caister on Sea to exercise the dogs, more often for ease of access.All in all it was a lovely stay and good value. Thank you.
