Perfect location and lovely cottage

Hidden Gem was everything that I could have hoped for in a holiday home. The location was perfect, the cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped, warm and bright. The village was friendly with a great pub, fish and chip shop and local store.

Wonderful Hidden Gem

This was our second, and most definitely not our last, visit to Hidden Gem. The cottage is warm, cosy and very dog friendly with lots of lovely walks direct from the back door over Winterton Dunes. Great location for a short walk to local shop, pub and fish and chips. A lovely cottage and already can’t wait for our next visit!

A real hidden corner

Everything you could wish for for both humans and dogs( Norfolk water pressure not withstanding!) I’ve been coming to winterton for years now and I’d count this as one of my top two places to stay. Right on the dunes you can hear the sea at night and the birds in the morning, bliss! All credit due to the owners for such a lovely property

Certainly a Hidden Gem

Very aptly named Hidden Gem. Our second time staying at this cottage and loved it just as much. Will certainly be back. Perfect for walking your dog across the dunes to the beach with access from back garden. Well equipped for cooking too.

A stunning cottage

A stunning cottage with home comforts in every room. We walked in and felt very welcome and comfortable straight away. Our dogs had just the best time, they were able to be in all rooms with us and aLao able to walk out straight on to the dunes from the back door. The owners of the cottage know how to set up a very beautiful cottage for others to share.

Wonderful cottage

A lovely comfortable cottage in quiet location but walking distance of dog friendly pub and a great fish and chip shop ( we were able to order online no queuing). Great to be able to walk out of the back door straight on to the dunes, the dogs loved it. Loads of different walks from the door. Hope to return next year

What an Amazing little Cottage!!!

We have just a spent a week here and can honestly say it’s been the best holiday with our dog we have had. This truly is a dog friendly property. The welcome pack for both human and dog is a lovely touch. During our stay we explored places in the car but there is so much to do straight from the doorstep. We will definitely be returning.

A perfect little escape

This was a fantastic location. We loved it. Our pups loved it. To be able to walk out of your back door to the beach was the best. There was nothing the hosts hadn’t thought of and the welcome basket for us and the dogs was a perfect welcome. The cottage is comfortable with plenty of room and nice views. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Home from home

On our third visit to this glorious setting, the perfect weather, wonderfully comfortable new sofas and a fabulously chocolatey surprise 60th birthday cake made this celebration week a holiday to remember! We love walking over the dunes straight from the back door to this picturesque dog friendly beach. We didn't want to go home and we're already planning to book for our 4th visit very soon.

A “Hidden Gem” by the dunes

A perfect location for relaxing and enjoying the dunes and beaches for humans and dogs. Very impressed with cleanliness, appearance, warmth with a well equipped kitchen. Welcoming for pawrents and dogs with wonderful treats on arrival. Has plenty of equipment and accessories for dogs if you forget anything making it very easy. Our best getaway yet with the dogs and we would be planning to return. Highly recommended.

A real ‘hidden’ gem

Hidden Gem is exactly that. Tucked away in Winterton, it’s a little piece of heaven. Stunning dog friendly accommodation where humans and their fur babies want for nothing- welcome basket was amazing! The garden is a little small if you have a lot of large dogs but the dunes directly behind the house make up for it. We love Winterton as it has everything you need for that perfect break.

It really is a Hidden Gem

We spent a very relaxing few days at Hidden Gem in early August. Laura, Pete & Bella were very welcoming, especially to our two dogs. The treat baskets for the adults and hounds went down very well! Being able to go to the beach in a matter of minutes and eat in the lovely seafront cafe was great. We also found the guest books helpful in getting recommendations for places to visit. We will be back.

A lovely break by the sea for us and the dogs

Everything had been thought of in providing for the dogs Saved us the packing worry Even the frozen raw food we ordered was packed in the freezer for our arrival The welcome basket including birthday cake was a lovely touch and the dogs appreciated their toys and treats Winterton is a charming old fashioned village and super dog friendly We walked out of the back door and onto the dunes Spoilt for choice with walks and we loved watching the seals watching us Would highly recommend this property and East Ruston Cottages for their quality level of service Very happy

Half terms hold at Hidden Gem

We loved our stay at Hidden Gem. Lovely welcome goodies and we felt at home straight away. Unloaded the car and went straight out the back door, over the dunes and onto the beach! The owners have thought of everything. It’s a lovely place to stay, with easy walking distance to the beach, shop, post office, tea shop and there’s a cafe on the beach too. There’s games when the weather is not so nice. Definitely want to go back. I think my dog had the best holiday ever.

Everything a dog could want

First I found a beach, then I looked for a dog friendly place to stay, then I found Hidden Gem. And what a find that was. We were blown away by what this cottage had to offer us and our 2 dogs. Yes, they're allowed on the sofas, yes they're allowed on the beds. Our dogs were welcomed in a way other 'dog friendly holidays' have not. Bowls, spare leads and guest dog tags, doggie first aid kit, the list is endless. And did I mention, out the back door and the beach is just over the dunes. Out the front door and just up the road, a lovely dog friendly pub. We had absolutely everything we needed, Laura and Pete have thought of everything. Best holiday ever, thank you.

Great cottage for doggies and humans

Wonderfully comfortable cottage for our two dogs and us two humans. The owners really have thought of everything that we might need and we were greeted by an amazing basket of goodies for us, and treats for the dogs. The dunes really are at the back door with easy access to the beach - even though we had to stop dune and beach walks as our two very young rescue lurchers were beside themselves with excitement and became pretty much uncontrollable on the lead!! The courtyard garden is very attractive and comfortable. We did have to accompany the dogs every second in the courtyard as one of them can easily scale/jump the high fences from a standing start. She is like a cat. We were glad of the fans provided in the bedrooms as this fearless scamp could push open the windows to jump out so they had to be kept cracked open only.
