We love staying at Admiral Cottage, its become home from home. we have stayed here so many times and it is always beautifully clean and comfy and dog friendly, having the beach so close is great for the walks with our Dogs.
A beautiful cottage in a fantastic location. A few minutes walk to the beach and a lovely pub with good food just around the corner. Will definitely be returning!
Another wonderful stay at Admiral Cottage. Already booked again. Perfect stay for myself and my son and our two dogs. Cosy and everything you need for the tour stay.
A fantastic little cottage in a beautiful village just few minutes stroll to swathes of sandy beach. Our dog loved the morning walks through the sand dunes and along the beach, we couldn’t have asked for more.
Lovely property in a gorgeous, friendly village! We thoroughly enjoyed exploring a new area for us and would definitely consider returning again. The beach is absolutely wonderful and we spotted 2 seals bobbing about... just delightful.
We love Winterton and have stayed in several cottages in the village, Admiral Cottage has to be one of the best in terms of facillities and location. Beautifully clean, lots of thoughtful touches and a fabulous welcome pack. Host was very responsive. Would definitely stay here again!
Fabulous cottage in a beautiful location. A lovely vegan welcome pack was an unexpected surprise. The only negative for us was it did smell of dogs and there were dog hairs on the sofa other than that the cottage was clean and had everything we needed.
It was a lovely stay at Admiral Cottage. We all got the best sleep in the really comfy beds, and it was a really peaceful location. It was a perfect base for walks across the Dunes and the nearby beach, as well as being a short drive into Gt Yarmouth. Thank you!
Close to beach and dunes which we enjoyed, including the dog. The property was full of character and well located for the pub (which the property backs onto although this did not cause any problems with noise etc) as well as Poppy's, the local cafe and shop. It was good to have parking on the driveway and the porch/lobby area was useful for coats and shoes.The property was fine for the two of us, but for four people the living room (which also has to be used as the dining room) is quite small. Quantities of crockery and mugs could be increased especially if more than two people are staying.
Lovely well maintained property. Well located within the village. Close to shops and restaurant.no need for a car everything within walking distance Beach and dunes minutes walk away
Lovely cottage in a superb location. As the stairs to the main bedroom were pretty steep we opted to use the downstairs bedroom which had a lovely en suite bathroom. Cottage very comfortable and cosy - had everything we needed for a great holiday. We would love to go back again in the not too distant future.
A beautiful, cosy cottage - perfect for our mid week stay: close to the beach, and a great location for driving out to all the nearby attractions. Spotlessly clean with everything you need at hand. Can't wait to come back!
The Admiral Cottage had everything you would want whilst on holiday, it was in the village near all the amenities (shop/tearooms, pub, lovely beach). Would defiantly book this cottage again.
