A beautiful property.
A beautiful property. Stunning decorations and layout. Easy access to shop, pub and fish and chip shop. Short walk to beach.We give this 5 stars for everything but our only issue was not at least having a toilet up stairs.We managed but if visitors are at all infirm it wouldn't work. Having said that, the details are clear that the bathrooms are downstairs.Would definitely stay again.
The property was superb , decorated to a very high standard and clean. Ideal location , just opposite the pub which served good food and a two minute walk to a fabulous beach . Would stay here again .
As a footnote , try the cafe on the beach . Superb .👍👍👍

Beautiful cottage in very friendly village.
Beautiful cottage in very friendly village. Loved the decor. Jan the owner on hand if you need any assistance.
The cottage has all facilities you need and even though the bathrooms are all downstairs this was not a problem . The large pretty downstairs ensuite twin bedroom was perfect for mum in her 90s . Sunny garden for evenings to sit out in.
5 minute walk to beach and beach cafe.
Loved the village post office where the owner is baking in the shop for the adjoining tea rooms.
Recomend a stay here for families of all ages.

Perfect cottage.
Perfect cottage. Spotless with plenty of utensils, plates etc. WiFi and TV. Lovely setting across from the local pub, but very quiet. Winterton-on-Sea is a beautiful village, quiet and scenic with one pub, a restaurant, one shop, post office and fish shop. Beach a short walk away where there is a great cafe and parking if needed. Yarmouth within a short drive for amusements etc or even horse racing.
