    We celebrated our Golden Wedding Anniversary with Friends but this house would suit most peoples needs be it spending time with family or friends. We also had the added advantage of good weather! All in all a lovely weekend break.

  • Duncan

    The house had everything you need for a relaxing break and is perfect for access to the dunes and beach with the village close by with fish and chips and a pub. Perfect place to get away from it all.

  • Caroline

    Such a relaxing house, with immense sea views from the garden and the Conservatory. The hot tub was a bonus, and added to the holiday as a little luxury every evening to relax and watch the seascape and the numerous ships going past. Bedrooms and bathrooms a plenty and so much space for everyone. We would highly recommend this property for anyone wanting a quiet relaxing break. Winterton-o-sea is such a pretty village with a good post office, shop and pub.
