Great Cottage. Great location.
We really enjoyed our stay at Admiral Cottage. The location is great. The Village is small and peacful, with a shop, post office, chip shop and a dog friendly pub that serves great beer and food and is only a 2 minute walk away. The cottage is literaly a 10 minute walk from the dunes and beach. The cottage was lovely. Generaly clean warm and well presented. The only minor criticism we had was that some of the crockery wasnt very clean, but soon remedied. Its worth noting that the stairs to the double room are very steep and narrow. But on the whole,a great place to stay.....

This is our third stay in Admiral Cottage. We had a lovely time as always. The cottage is very warm, cosy and welcoming, a real home from home. We love Winterton, especially the beach, the pub and the fish and chip shop. The beach is great for long dog walks, and we can highly recommend the new beach cafe! Thank you for a lovely stay, we hope to be back next year!

Lovely cosy cottage
We have stayed here before and just love it! We have two labradors they love it too! It’s just a lovely cosy little place. Very steep stairs to second bedroom so be careful but both bedrooms beautifully clean as were the bathrooms. Kitchen is small but well equipped and small enclosed garden is very pretty. The porch is great for wet clothes boots etc. Only slight criticism is that the living room smelled very doggy when we arrived but we sprayed air fresheners and opened the doors and it was fine.

Lovely cottage and walks along the beach and dunes. Everything you need in one place. Only one negative thing. The hot water needs to be hotter.

Fabulous!
What a fabulous little cottage - with everything you could want. It was spotlessly clean and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. Great showers and comfy beds. The pub at the back was friendly and served great food. Seeing the seals on the beach was the icing on the cake. Winterton-on-sea is a pretty little village and we hope to return. Couldn’t have wished for a better place for dog-owners.

A much needed break
We really needed a fully relaxing break. We've had builders in at home and just needed to sit back and relax. Admirals Cottage was warm, comfortable and a great location in Winterton. Having a parking space is a boon. The rear garden is secure with good lighting in these dark nights. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. Great to have dressing gowns and the shower is first class. The log burner was brilliant. The cottage was warm and toasty. Even more so with the log burner. A metal ashes bucket might be handy to have. Lovely welcome pack. Winterton is well placed to visit the Broads. The pub is brilliant, great staff and fab food. The locals are welcoming and very dog friendly. Thanks for a great rest. It was everything we needed and our dogs were so relaxed.

Admiral's Cottage is warm, comfortable, spotless and in a fantastic location for Winterton beach. We've stayed there several times. It's got everything you need, plus you're - literally - round the corner from a great pub (Fisherman's Return) and under five minutes' walk from the sea. Great welcome pack, helpful host. Thoroughly recommended.

Wonderful
The property was a lovely cottage. Home from home. Couldn't ask for more. Warm and close to the beach. Was a wonderful week we all enjoyed. Saw the seals at a distance of course. Saw the windmill at Horsey and had lovely walks close by. Weather was great but would still have enjoyed even if it had rained. The cottage is completely dog friendly. Safe and warm. Clean and cozy. Will stay again or at one of the sister cottages they all look good. Was welcomed with two bottles of wine and some biscuits. Didn't want to come home what a wonderful cottage
