We really enjoyed our stay. It was so lovely to have direct access to the beach. The house is much bigger than it looks on the photos. The beds were all very comfortable. As a group of 6 adults & 2 children the dining table was perfect for us to sit around together. Having a log fire in the evenings was such a treat.Highly recommend hiring a boat fromMartha’s Ferry Boatyard, they were great. We loved our 4 hour sailing trip along The Broads. We enjoyed a visit to Cromer and the Children loved our trip to Hirsty’s Farm.We all agreed that walking on Winterton beach was our favourite. We will be back.

A lovely large family house which we booked for two adults and a dog. We love Winterton (our 4th visit this year - but our first visit to this property) which we booked as we know the road well and wanted direct access to the beach. A good dog secure garden front and back, lots of space for a larger party so plenty big enough for us. Not as luxurious as we thought (mis matched bedroom furniture, rubbish in the garden i.e. old rags, dead plants, bits of wood, broken chair which was cleared up by the gardener whilst we were there) but everything we needed was provided. Bags of lovely hot water, a great utility room for storing boots and dog food and of course the view! All in all a great holiday property.
