The round dining table has seating for four people, or you can dine al fresco in the wonderful private garden. The cottage has an unusual layout, with one bathroom leading off the living room which has a shower over the bath, WC and a washbasin. The well equipped kitchen is also accessed from the living room, and has an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, washing machine, slimline dishwasher and microwave.
In the other half of this quirky double roundhouse you'll find two beautifully furnished bedrooms. The master bedroom has a comfortable king size bed and smart TV, as well as an en-suite wet room with a shower, WC and a washbasin. Bedroom two has standard size double bed and TV.
Outside The Cranny is set within it's own cottage style garden - a private oasis in the middle of the village. There's off road parking for 1-2 cars.

Our favourite holiday cottage.
The Cranny is a fabulous cosy cottage from which to explore Norfolk. Its closeness to the sea shore after a short stroll from the cottage, offers lovely walks on the beach or along the firm dunes. Ideal for off lead fun for your furry friend. The quiet village offers a get way from it all atmosphere without the isolation. The cottage is well appointed internally, and has a lovely enclosed garden to enjoy some summer sunshine. Nearby there are a host of very good value restaurants/pubs. We can’t wait for our next visit!

Relaxing and comfortable
Arrived to find everything perfect with little extra touches like the amazing welcome pack to the carton of milk in the fridge. Lovely comfortable bed with plenty of stage space for clothes. Great lounge with 2 large comfortable sofas, side tables, dining table, large TV and lots of other touches to make things comfortable. Great kitchen with just about every utensil you could need plus kitchen towel, cling film, salt and pepper and oil. Not items you often find in self-catering.
Outside has a lovely, large garden with several seating areas so you can follow the sun around. the dog loved it.
Very quiet even though you are only 2 minutes from the Fishermans Return.

Wonderful, quirky accommodation
The Cranny is a wonderful, most unusual cottage with a beautiful wrap around garden. The location is great, with easy access to the pub which serves a great choice of delicious food. Everything in the cottage is to a very high standard. A fabulous welcome pack was provided!
Winterton is a lovely village, with some beautiful properties, easy access to the beach and lovely walks along and behind the dunes.

Recent stay at The Cranny
We had seen this cottage on previous visits to Winterton on Sea and this time stayed here. All I can say is ‘Wow’ it lived up to and exceeded expectations. Everything about this cottage was perfect to the point I could live in it. The garden is beautiful and secure.
We have booked again before leaving, I think that says it all.

Old Codgers Review
There is only one problem with the Cranny and it is our problem, not of the Cranny. We are getting old and we find we cannot cope so well these days. The gravel at the front of the combined driveway is a problem for those of us using Strollers, Walking Sticks or Scooters with smaller wheels. Other than that, the garden is beautiful and very private. The garden is also very secure for your dog, well Honey, our Cockapoo never found an escape route and relished the fredom it gave her. The building is unique and very picturesque. Yes, the seating in the lounge is a bit low for us now but very comfortable. The beds are very good and suited us very well.
There has been a major change in the kitchen where the kitchen table (which we never used, apart for a dump for shopping bags, etc) and chairs have been removed and a kitchen unit installed. This was a brilliant idea and provides an added area of both worktop and storage. The only modification for us would be a stool for the cook to sit upon or do as we did and nick a chair temporarily from the lounge table and chairs!
The level living is bliss, no stair lifts needed here!! There are plenty of electrical sockets throughout the building but, if you do have special equipment needs I do recommend you bring your own adapters etc. Warning: shaving with a mains powered electric shaver must be included in the list of special equipment!
The WiFi works well throughout the property and the broadband connection is good, but you are on holiday, and will only need it for recreational purposes!
The Cranny provides a wonderful base for your holiday in Norfolk, we highly recommend it.

An excellent stay
Wonderful stay and just perfect for a weekend away by the sea.
We struggled a little with the heating so it was either very warm or very cold other than that it was the perfect weekend with lovely outside space to enjoy the sun!
Definitely would stay again :)

Charming cottage; great location
Great holiday property. Two comments: the sunny garden would benefit from having available the umbrella for the garden table and a scrubbing brush to use to clean the bird excrement from the garden furniture; the springs in the sofas are weak.

A relaxing weekend away
We had a fantastic relaxing weekend at The Cranny. Just the two of us and the dogs. Literally a stone's throw from the pub, beach, fish and chip shop, convenience store and two excellent cafes, one of which overlooked the beach. The beach and dunes go on for miles, so there was no need to go anywhere else the whole weekend as everything was close at hand. Communication was excellent, both from Winterton Cottages and the host, with welcome texts containing all the information we needed in advance. All in all a fantastic cottage (even our escape artist dog couldn't find a way out!), very clean and welcoming. Would definitely recommend to anyone seeking a weekend away where you can just leave the car parked up until you need to go home - reluctantly!
