Lovely cottage
Our 3rd visit to this cottage and the lovely village of Winterton on Sea. Had sunshine and showers but it didn’t affect our stay. Lovely walks along the beach and dunes watching the seals. Our dog Milly enjoys her holiday here. Would recommend the cottage and village for a quiet and relaxing stay. Will be back hopefully next year.

Lovely cottage in quiet community.
Very nice cottage with all the comforts of home. We went when local pub still closed so community quiet. Second bedroom a tight squeeze for 2 adults with no space for clothes, and 2 small single beds pushed together. But it has the en suite so that's a bonus! Everything else is lovely.

Beautiful cottage in wonderful village
Compass cottage is a beautiful country they cottage with ample of space for a family of four. Everything was immaculate on arrival and well equipped. They even gave us a lovely welcome package:-) We went in winter but there is a lovely conservatory and enclosed garden so great for sitting out for a drink. The location is perfect a stones throw from the village pub, the fish and chips shop and local store and a short walk to the dunes and beach of Winterton on sea. Highly recommend a visit to Winterton and to compass cottage.
