Guests say
Sea Star is a spacious and well-equipped cottage praised for its stunning location with direct beach access and beautiful sea views. It's ideal for family gatherings and dog-friendly, offering a secure garden and cosy amenities like a real fire. The property has received positive remarks for its large rooms and utility space, though some guests noted areas for improvement in cleanliness and maintenance.
Guests have generally found Sea Star to be clean and peaceful. However, some reviews mentioned issues such as a shower not being clean, crumbs in drawers, and surfaces feeling grimy, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
The location of Sea Star is highly praised for its direct access to the beach and dunes, offering spectacular walks and views. Its proximity to local amenities like a pub and the ease of reaching nearby attractions adds to its appeal.
The cottage is described as spacious with comfortable beds and large bedrooms, providing ample space for guests. Some guests, however, found the furniture and beds to be of poor quality, which slightly detracts from the overall comfort.
Sea Star is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and offers a good utility room. Guests enjoyed the log fire and the ample space for dining and socialising. Criticisms include the need for updates and better maintenance of garden furniture and mattresses.
While guests appreciated the welcome basket, including Prosecco, as a thoughtful touch, there is not enough consistent mention of such gestures across the reviews to guarantee that this is a standard offering for all stays.

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.
