A lovely dog and people friendly place.

Had a great week staying in this house. It's set up well with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The area has terrific dog walks, either across the countryside, the dunes or gorgeous beaches. In fact, the whole town seems to have dogs !

We have stayed here before and enjoyed it. A bit of a bugbear on this trip was the creaking and stretching of the building at night which was sufficient to wake us.

Excellent location for beach walks, very well equipped cottage and dog friendly. Only one small downside - the lounge seating; great presentation but furniture lacks comfort and not an area all 6/7 guest can all relax in together. That being said, loved everything about the property (even though it was being re-thatched!)and would definitely revisit.

Perfect!

Immaculate cottage with everything you could possibly need. Everything high quality, especially the mattresses and bedding. Kitchen fantastically equipped with everything you could possibly need. One tiny, tiny gripe and it’s a matter of personal taste. We would have preferred another comfy sofa as we found the chairs very uncomfortable (we are ladies of a “certain age”!). Overall would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

lovely cottage

Cottage was lovely and location was great. local beach and walking trails is what we thoroughly enjoyed. The cottage accommodates all well but it wasn't the cleanest off cottages. There was inserts in the house when we arrived, cobwebs around windows and walls, etc. The shower soap tray was broken, the toilet was blocked (even though fixed within 24 hours), there weren't enough toilet rolls for 5 adults over 3 nights (i think 3 were provided in total but more did get provided after asking). These are cosmetic things that can easily be resolved but only thing all guests were too keen about was the quality of mattresses and pillows. Seem to be on the cheaper side and feel they can at least upgrade these for more comfort. Overall, the garden was lovely, the kitchen caters for all and has all utensils and table also accommodates 6 or 7 adults / children. It was an enjoyable experience par the discomfort of the mattresses and pillows in all rooms.

Sea Holly Cottage loved being there

Great cottage to stay in, Winterton on Sea was a great place. The beach was beautiful the weather was great while we were there which was an added bonus. The local pub was just across the road. The cottage had every thing you could have wanted we enjoyed a lovely few days away.

Sensationeller Urlaub

Wir haben die zwei Wochen Ferien in Winterton nur genossen, machten tägliche schöne Ausflüge. Vor allem die Seals (Seehunde) haben unseren Urlaub, einen Traum ermöglicht. Konnten noch nie, eine Seehundkolonie von 400 bis 500 Sehhunden so nahe kommen. Eindrückliches Erlebnis. Im Haus war alles einwandfrei und im guten Zustand.

Stay at Ivy Cottage Winterton on Sea

We have just come home from a wonderful weekend at the above cottage. The whole process from booking to our stay was very smooth. Owen was very responsive to our needs. The cottage is a charming thatched cottage, very sympathetically and tastefully decorated throughout. The kitchen is well equipped with all basic needs. We were a group of 5 adults, so a downstairs shower came in handy. One thing to note is that the stairs are divided midway into 2 segments with the master bedroom and second king bedrooms on one side and the twin bedroom and lovely spacious 4 piece family bathroom on the other side. As my husband is disabled we had to use the twin bedroom adjacent to the bathroom while the youngsters used the king bedrooms. It was not a problem though. Winterton is a lovely romantic village with a wide sandy beach walking distance from the cottage. The village pub opposite (Fisherman’s Return) serves good hearty meals and was handy as we could walk home after a drink every evening. It is also very near the Broads. We had a wonderful day out and boat trip at Horning, a very pretty village with beautiful thatched cottages. Overall we had a very relaxing weekend. Thank you Owen!

Fantastic property

Stayed for a long weekend. The cottage was amazing and had everything we needed for a very comfortable 3 night stay. All bedrooms were great, the single room was plenty big enough, even for a teenage boy and his belongings! Fantastic location in one of our favourite dog friendly resorts in the UK. We'll be back!

A perfect cottage

Beautiful on the outside and inside. Good quality artwork (makes a change), everything we needed in the kitchen. Bedrooms perfect for all of us. Two showers and a bath just right. A pub literally just over the road! A perfect beach for the children, with crashing waves and a little cafe, about 10 minutes walk from the cottage down a little road between the sand dunes. My absolute only criticism is that there was only one sofa and three chairs, which wasn't totally comfortable for all five of us. But this was only a minor quibble. When the children had gone to bed we were fairly comfortable. We have stayed in many cottages over the years, but this was definitely one of the best!

Lovely property

We loved the week and the property was great. Clean, functional and well equipped. Only two things to note, one bedroom is very small and difficult to accommodate both an adult and their suitcase. Also, the pub is adjacent and things in the pub got a bit lively on the Saturday night. It was hot, so bedroom windows were open but the friendly shouting and laughter made it tricky to sleep on just one of the nights.

Would highly recommend

Sea Holly cottage is lovely. It’s spacious, well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The village is beautiful, friendly and so close to a gorgeous beach that was very dog friendly. Owen was very quick at responding to my questions before our stay and whilst we were there. I would highly recommend this cottage and we’ll definitely be going back!
