Another great stay at this lovely cottage
This is our fourth time at Admiral Cottage. We had a lovely time as always. The cottage is just perfect for the two of us our dog Albus, and is like a home from home. It's perfectly situated within a five minute walk to the dunes and onto the beach. Winterton has everything we need for a great holiday, including the pub and fish and chip shop! We can also highly recommend the beach cafe.

A beautiful, cosy cottage - perfect for our mid week stay: close to the beach, and a great location for driving out to all the nearby attractions. Spotlessly clean with everything you need at hand. Can't wait to come back!

Dog friendly seaside stay
Pretty cottage in the centre of a dog friendly village, short walk to the lovely sandy beach and next-door to the pub. Worked very well for 3 adults and 2 dogs, we were very lucky with great weather so the garden became an extra room which was extremely helpful for us and secure for the dogs. Clean and as described on the listing, only issue was that the microwave didn't work.

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.

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!

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 wonderful stay in the heart of Winterton On Sea. Great little cottage. Very comfortable and the garden is a real sun trap. A really good base for setting out along the coast line in search of seals and also for driving off to enjoy the broads for the day. The village is very friendly with plenty of dog walks across the dunes and the lovely sandy beaches. Perfect.

Have been going to Winterton -on-Sea for many years, we love the charming village. This time it was my husband’s birthday. Admiral cottage was so lovely, everything we needed and close to the beach and the pub was just behind us. We always take our dog with us and I must say everywhere is very dog friendly.

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.

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.....
