Lovely stay at Beachside Cottage

Very nice and comfortable week long stay at the above, 3 adults and 2 border collies. Ideal location for what we wanted, within 1 minute walk through rear gate and amongst the dunes. Although the elder dog is 13.5 years old, soon as we mentioned 'walk' she manages to stand after a spinal injuries 2 years ago, but to see her face light up when she gets onto the sand, with the youngerone tormenting her slightly, they both really enjoyed there holiday as well. May well try to rebook for next year again.

Cottage was comfortable, clean enough, and had everything we needed.Great being next to sand dunes/beach as was easy to take the dog for his walk straight out of the garden.Beach all sandy, and dog friendly. Dunes run for miles.Garden furniture - nice. Conservatory - nice. Dryer listed on website but does not exist.The pub and cafe were both dog friendly and had great food. Plus a fish and chip, and a very well stocked local store. Beach cafe too - presumably not open all year though.Weather was great too.

Clean house and secure garden

We found Beachside Cottage more than adequate for our needs and came up to our expectations although the kitchen is undeniably small. The garden was totally secure which meant we could relax whilst our 2 dogs went outside. What we would have found helpful would have been short notes on how to live in the cottage. The oven dials had been worn off through cleaning and as it was not the same model as ours at home it took a few attempts to fire it up, similarly the stove top.Once mastered it worked well. Ditto the microwave. We didnt even try to work the washing machine or dishwasher. The complimentary tea, coffee, biscuits, fudge, PROSECCO was very generous and much enjoyed. The village and location is great and we made use of the Fisherman's Return pub for a few meals and also hearty breakfasts. The sea is only a couple of hundred metres away, but if you have any joint problems, ( I have a knee replacement,) the slither down to the beach is quite steep and a bit concerning. For most people it would be of no consequence at all, but we found we went to the beach at Caister on Sea to exercise the dogs, more often for ease of access.All in all it was a lovely stay and good value. Thank you.

Lovely location

So close to the sea, out of the back gate and onto the dunes. A comfortable and well kitted out property. I think the cleanliness of the accommodation could be better, it’s looking a little grubby unnecessarily. Skirting boards could do with a wipe, black mould on the bathroom ceiling and cobwebs in various corners. A used tissue under a bed from a previous visitor. Despite this, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend as Winterton Cottages

Best beach & dunes holiday with 4 dogs

The property was perfectly located for us with our 4 Cocker Spaniels.The property had everything that we need except an outside tap & hose but we had the wherewithal with trug and watering can to minimise sand entering the property.We were blessed with fantastic weather & only used the car once to find a swimming pool. The local supermarket was well stocked and a great fish & chip shop.. it is our second visit to Winterton on Sea & will definitely be back sometime.

AMAZING!!

The location of this cottage is simply the best and offers everything you could need for a get away from it all break! Great size secure garden for our dog to sniff round and the canopy/porch at the back door where we could leave sandy boots was really handy! The gate onto the dunes was just fantastic and is nowhere near a public thoroughfare so we didn’t see a soul all week from the garden or view from the lounge and conservatory! Great for both beech walks or walks along the beautiful grassy dunes if you occasionally want a sandy free dog! We were greeted by a beautiful selection of goodies by our host and had a very comfortable and cosy stay! We will be back for sure! Thank you!
