About this property

April Cottage | Charming Coastal Cottage Near the Beach in Winterton-on-Sea

Full of character, April Cottage has been lovingly restored to provide stylish and well equipped accommodation.

Downstairs, the living room has comfortable sofas, TV/DVD, woodburning stove and patio doors leading to a sunny enclosed courtyard behind the cottage. The separate dining room features an original stone floor and leads through to the well equipped kitchen with an electric oven, fridge with a small freezer compartment and a microwave. The washing machine and dryer are in the outhouse which is just outside the stable style kitchen door.

Upstairs there are two beautifully appointed bedrooms. Bedroom one has a comfortable kingsize bed, and bedroom two has a standard double bed and a shower. The upstairs bathroom features a beautiful slipper bath for relaxing in, as well as a washbasin and WC. Please note that the quirky character of the cottage means the property is unsuitable for younger children under 10 years old.

At the side of the cottage is a gravelled parking area with space for one car, and there is free off road parking available nearby in the village. The parking area leads to a pretty cobbled courtyard with a bench, table and chairs. Guests are welcome to use the free WiFi.

Up to 1 large dog or 2 medium/small dogs are welcome at April Cottage at no additional charge. Please ensure dogs are kept downstairs and off furniture.

Great little cottage

Spent a week at April cottage. Pre arrival information was excellent with lots of additional information in relation to the local area. The cottage was clean, well equipped and comfortable. We didn’t have any need to contact the owner or agents whilst we were there. Happily stay here again.

SShhh don't want anyone else to know about this perfect place!

A lovely little cottage that provided everything we needed and in a great location close to the village center and a short walk to the Dunes. Dog friendly too!.....The outdoor space is very small and laid to concrete but very pleasant and private. Really appreciate the welcome gifts also.

Cosy cottage

Lovely cottage, beautifully decorated, had everything we needed for our break. Very cosy too! Local amenities on our doorstep, although the pub was abit to close - we were in there every evening!! People we met were so friendly. Ideal for dog walking, as well as the beach, some great walks through the countryside.

Lovely cottage in a perfect position. My only concern was the Stairs which were very steep and Shallow treads.

Beautiful cottage. Perfect location.

April cottage was the perfect base to explore the amazing Norfolk coastline, and the vast local seal colony this time of year! The cottage was very clean, comfortable and well equipped, containing everything needed for an enjoyable stay. Thoughtful touches, and welcome goodies added to the experience. April cottage (and Winterton) is dog friendly, and the off-street parking space is a bonus. It's a short walk to the village pub, fish & chip shop, tea room, and a well stocked convenience store, with a ten minute drive to the nearest large supermarket. We will return one day!

Loved our stay

From the moment we arrived we felt very welcome and at home. Lovely welcome pack and information booklet to tell us everything we needed to know. Arrival information was accurate and easy to follow. April cottage has everything you need and the location is wonderful. We slept really well, so quiet at night. Friendly locals; Pub, tearooms, shop and fish and chip shop all walking distance and served with a smile. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back to April cottage and Winterton. We left feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Lovely Holiday Cottage.

April Cottage is a great place for dogs and their owners as it’s a short walk to Winterton beach. The cottage is cosy and very welcoming, clean and everything you could need. The log burner is a lovely addition and we used it nightly. Kitchen is very well equipped, we loved the dining room, and the cottage is well laid out. I do agree it’s not suitable for young children as the stairs are steep as one would expect in a cottage. All in all we had a great break in April Cottage and have booked again for next year! Just to add even though the beach is dog friendly all year, it is never packed and we always found plenty of room to walk without meeting too many other dogs. We would definitely recommend April Cottage to any dog parents.

Beautiful cottage by the sea.

April cottage is a lovely little period cottage, just a short walk from the beach. It sits along one of the narrow back roads in Winterton, so is quiet and un-overlooked but literally a few minutes walk from the village pub, cafe, (both friendly and lovely food!) and convenience store. The small court yard garden is secure and dog safe and there is a drive providing off road parking for one car. A larger garden is not missed, as there are lots of beautiful green spaces and walks directly from the cottage. All furnishings are clean, as is the kitchen and bathroom. Kitchen is small but clean and well equipped. Beds are extremely comfortable, with crisp, fresh linen. I am very particular about cleanliness but this cottage ticked all the boxes for me - very quaint and in keeping with the village but perfect in every way - I wish I could have stayed forever! The owner Rachel was so friendly and helpful and quick to respond to any queries I sent. She even left a lovely welcome box for us, with treats for us and our 2 dogs. Thanks for a memorable stay Rachel - we’ll be back! x
