Front garden. Enclosed rear lawned garden. Separate courtyard with garden furniture. Parking for 3 cars. No smoking.. This charming, ‘chocolate box’ cottage is thatched and detached, and has a contemporary open plan interior with many unusual features, but still retains that cosy country cottage feel. Tastefully decorated and furnished, situated in the heart of the coastal village of Winterton-on-Sea. Set in the quiet crescent just yards from the village pub which is renowned for its food. A short stroll to the sandy beach and dunes nature reserve which offers miles of peaceful walks. View the local seal colony or enjoy bird watching and walking. Great Yarmouth, 9 miles, has traditional seaside attractions and the Norfolk Broads, 6 miles, offer boat hire, fishing and sailing. For children there is BeWILDerwood at Horning, an outdoor tree house adventure site with zip wires, jungle bridges, marsh walks and boat rides, all of which add up to great day out. Alternatively spend a day in the fine city of Norwich with its cathedral, castle, museums and array of shops. Horsey Mill (National Trust) also to be found locally is well worth a visit. Shop 200 yards, pub and restaurant 55 yards.

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.

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.
