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.
