Fabulous stay in the best location
We had a wonderful weekend at Beachcomber with our 6 year old Vizsla. The house was ‘dog perfect’ situated on a quiet road and just a few minutes walk from the wonderful dunes at Winterton.
Plenty of space in the house with a well equipped kitchen and a small safe garden.
We’ll be back!

Perfect location and lovely cottage
The cottage is beautifully clean, the kitchen well equipped and we feel at home as soon as we arrive.
This was our 3rd visit and there are always small improvements each time we go. It’s incredibly dog friendly, the garden is small but very secure and the dogs are worn out from all the beach time anyway.
The location is great, no more than a minute to the dunes and probably only 5 to the beach.
If you didn’t want to you wouldn’t need to leave the village the whole of your holiday, there is a well stocked village shop, a post office which also sells some nice bread and grocery items, as well as being a fab cafe, a great fish and chip shop and a really nice pub.
We’ve already booked our 4th visit!

Fabulous property
We return here year after year and it never disappoints us. Fantastic location and cozy cottage. It's difficult to find really nice properties that will let you take 3 dogs, Beachcomber is close to the sea with fabulous walks. For us it's perfect and we've already booked again for next year.

Lovely relaxing break
We parked the car and didn’t use it until we left. Accommodation was ideal, location perfect, five minutes to beach, and amenities first class. Everywhere was dog friendly, and the locals were so welcoming. The Fisherman’s return, local pub, was very dog friendly.

Fantastic place to stay
We had a great time with our two dogs at this property, it’s a fantastic location with a short walk to the beach and The Fisherman’s Return, we have never seen so many seals on the beach in our life.
We would definitely book the property again

Lovely cottage close to the dunes.
We were really comfortable at Beachcomber. The living areas downstairs were lovely, light and airy with plenty of space. Upstairs the bedrooms were really comfortable. Situated in the village, it was an easy stroll to the shops and the pub. So nice to be able to take the dogs straight up onto the dunes. Owner Rachel took care to check that we and our dogs were settled in and that everything was OK for us.

Surprisingly spacious
Had a lovely week stay. Cottage had everything we needed. Our large Labrador loved his daily walk to the beach and enjoyed his swims in the sea. Village was so welcoming to dogs. So many walks to do and plenty to see. If you get a chance do the climb to the top of the church tower, amazing views.

Perfect cottage
We had a lovely week in Beachcomber for the week, perfect location and lovely welcome basket full of goodies. The cottage was spotless and very comfortable, everything you need was thought of, the garden is very secure for dogs. The beds upstairs have to be the most comfortable beds I’ve slept in and very big. All adults and dogs had the best time thank you

Beachcomber April 2024
We had a very comfortable stay at Beachcomber and were so pleased to find somewhere that really was dog friendly. Close to the dunes and the sea with other lovely walks around too. The accommodation was as described and the quirky stair gate worked a treat to stop my golden retriever from the upstairs ( even though he was allowed )
Fabulous house, wonderful village, great communication!!!

Beachcomber
If you just want to unwind this is the place to do so, minutes walk to the Dunes where you can walk miles then end up having a coffee at Seal view . Beachcomber has everything you need home from home.

Perfect stay in a perfect location
Such a fantastic cottage in a lovely dog friendly location. Comfortable, well equipped cottage with a secure garden for the dogs. Towels and blankets provided for dogs alongside treats and bowls. The cottage is just a stones throw from miles of off lead walks across the dunes and beach. Such a peaceful location.
Lots of countryside walks within driving distance and some amazing dog friendly cafes.

Excellent dog friendly cottage
Great location accommodates dogs.Outside space adequate NO grass, some grass would be ideal. Cottage comfy and well equipped. If you like to cook frying pans tired in need of refresh. Would recommend to family and friends and would definitely return again. Village quiet with two pub/restaurants and post office with poppys cafe. Food store for essentials. Fish and chip shop. Lovely beach with cafe and toilets. The sand dunes are amazing, dogs loved exploring.

Very comfortable cottage, close to the dunes and easy walk to the beach
A lovely comfy cottage, fully equipped and super dog friendly. A home from home in a super village. The local pub did good food and allowed dogs. Well stocked convenience store at end of road. Endless local dog walks but we loved the dunes. Seal pups on the beach were a bonus. Great beaches all along the coast for a good run for the dogs. Loved it all.

Fantastic property and location
A lovely, well appointed cottage just a couple of minutes walk to unspoilt dunes and beaches. The property was immaculately clean and provided everything needed for both human and four legged occupants. Beautiful walks moments from the doorstep as well as a corner shop, lovely pub and tea room. Less than 10 minutes drive to visit Horsey wind pump and beach, seeing the seals on the beach is a fabulous sight! We all had a great time and would love to come back again soon.

Happy family holiday
The choice of accommodation was based on finding somewhere happy to allow 3 dogs and for the dogs not to be restricted as it's their holiday too. Beechcomber met all these needs and more. We had the best family holiday in a fantastic location with walks, the sea, cafe, shop and pubs all close by and accessible. The accommodation was perfect, everything we needed was there and so thoughtfully prepared. I would recommend a stay at Beechcomber and hopefully will be back there again myself one day.
