Fantastic place to stay
We had a great time with our two dogs at this property, it’s a fantastic location with a short walk to the beach and The Fisherman’s Return, we have never seen so many seals on the beach in our life. We would definitely book the property again

Perfect cottage
We had a lovely week in Beachcomber for the week, perfect location and lovely welcome basket full of goodies. The cottage was spotless and very comfortable, everything you need was thought of, the garden is very secure for dogs. The beds upstairs have to be the most comfortable beds I’ve slept in and very big. All adults and dogs had the best time thank you

Beachcomber April 2024
We had a very comfortable stay at Beachcomber and were so pleased to find somewhere that really was dog friendly. Close to the dunes and the sea with other lovely walks around too. The accommodation was as described and the quirky stair gate worked a treat to stop my golden retriever from the upstairs ( even though he was allowed )

If you just want to unwind this is the place to do so, minutes walk to the Dunes where you can walk miles then end up having a coffee at Seal view . Beachcomber has everything you need home from home.

Perfect stay in a perfect location
Such a fantastic cottage in a lovely dog friendly location. Comfortable, well equipped cottage with a secure garden for the dogs. Towels and blankets provided for dogs alongside treats and bowls. The cottage is just a stones throw from miles of off lead walks across the dunes and beach. Such a peaceful location. Lots of countryside walks within driving distance and some amazing dog friendly cafes.

Very comfortable cottage, close to the dunes and easy walk to the beach
A lovely comfy cottage, fully equipped and super dog friendly. A home from home in a super village. The local pub did good food and allowed dogs. Well stocked convenience store at end of road. Endless local dog walks but we loved the dunes. Seal pups on the beach were a bonus. Great beaches all along the coast for a good run for the dogs. Loved it all.

This is my third holiday via East Ruston holidays. I had a relaxing break. The cottage was welcoming and like home the moment we arrived. The guide provided via an app and information pack at the cottage was very helpful. Highly recommend

Fantastic property and location
A lovely, well appointed cottage just a couple of minutes walk to unspoilt dunes and beaches. The property was immaculately clean and provided everything needed for both human and four legged occupants. Beautiful walks moments from the doorstep as well as a corner shop, lovely pub and tea room. Less than 10 minutes drive to visit Horsey wind pump and beach, seeing the seals on the beach is a fabulous sight! We all had a great time and would love to come back again soon.

Happy family holiday
The choice of accommodation was based on finding somewhere happy to allow 3 dogs and for the dogs not to be restricted as it's their holiday too. Beechcomber met all these needs and more. We had the best family holiday in a fantastic location with walks, the sea, cafe, shop and pubs all close by and accessible. The accommodation was perfect, everything we needed was there and so thoughtfully prepared. I would recommend a stay at Beechcomber and hopefully will be back there again myself one day.

Fabulous time at Beachcomber
Brilliant cottage - very comfortable and clean. Very dog friendly with plenty of throws for the sofas and lots of doggie (and human) extras. The location is great - the Winterton Dunes are at the end of the road and it is only a few minutes stroll to get to the wonderful dog friendly beach. There is a well stocked corner shop at the end of the road within a couple of minutes walk. The garden, although not grassed, was ideal for our dog. Communication with the owner was good and the online information booklet was really helpful to keep on the phone. My only disappointment was having to come home at the end of the holiday! Hope that we can return to Beachcomber at some point in the future.

Lovely property a short walk from the dunes
Lovely property - with a good layout, especially the eating area adjoining the kitchen. Stairs not too steep for dogs too. Warm, comfortable beds, hot water great, and shower excellent. Kitchen well stocked with ample room in fridge freezer. Great access to pub, shop and fish & chip shop. We also used the secure dog field a short drive away in the evening so Lola could get a run around after we arrived. Pretty good access to dunes. Our dog is a little nervous with strangers and other dogs so we had to check the short distance was clear as there are many dog walkers out and about, even early on. This is our second stay in Winterton and was the favourite of the properties we've stayed at. We had to skip our first day but still enjoyed our time and made the most of it. Am sure we will be back.

Beachcomber Winterton on Sea
We had a fantastic stay at beachcomber a family of four with late teen/ adult children and our spaniel. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped. Well stocked games cabinet we had a couple of games of traditional monopoly!! The location of Beachcomber was fantastic, the cottage has parking which was a bonus as there is limited places to park nearby in the village. Five minute walk onto the beach at Winterton. Winterton beach was my favourite, walking the dog fairly early in the morning meant I was quite often the only person on the beach. Well apart from the seals bobbing their heads out the water, they were very inquisitive. The village has a pub, village store ( very reasonably priced), fish and chip shop and tea room ( also serves as a bakery). I would highly recommend staying at beachcomber - Rachel the owner was in touch prior to our holiday and as we arrived to ensue everything was in order. This was really appreciated. Norfolk has lots to offer, we had a very busy but fun filled week. I would highly recommend staying at Beachcomber it’s their perfect base to explore beautiful Norfolk.

Fabulous property
We return here year after year and it never disappoints us. Fantastic location and cozy cottage. It's difficult to find really nice properties that will let you take 3 dogs, Beachcomber is close to the sea with fabulous walks. For us it's perfect and we've already booked again for next year.

Lovely relaxing break
We parked the car and didn’t use it until we left. Accommodation was ideal, location perfect, five minutes to beach, and amenities first class. Everywhere was dog friendly, and the locals were so welcoming. The Fisherman’s return, local pub, was very dog friendly.

Lovely cottage close to the dunes.
We were really comfortable at Beachcomber. The living areas downstairs were lovely, light and airy with plenty of space. Upstairs the bedrooms were really comfortable. Situated in the village, it was an easy stroll to the shops and the pub. So nice to be able to take the dogs straight up onto the dunes. Owner Rachel took care to check that we and our dogs were settled in and that everything was OK for us.

Surprisingly spacious
Had a lovely week stay. Cottage had everything we needed. Our large Labrador loved his daily walk to the beach and enjoyed his swims in the sea. Village was so welcoming to dogs. So many walks to do and plenty to see. If you get a chance do the climb to the top of the church tower, amazing views.

Excellent dog friendly cottage
Great location accommodates dogs.Outside space adequate NO grass, some grass would be ideal. Cottage comfy and well equipped. If you like to cook frying pans tired in need of refresh. Would recommend to family and friends and would definitely return again. Village quiet with two pub/restaurants and post office with poppys cafe. Food store for essentials. Fish and chip shop. Lovely beach with cafe and toilets. The sand dunes are amazing, dogs loved exploring.

Perfect location for dog walks on an amazing beach
Beachcomber is a great location for one of Norfolk's best beaches at Winterton-on-Sea. This was our first family holiday with our baby and golden retriever. The house was really clean and comfortable with lots of space. There was a really nice welcome basket of goodies, including dog treats. They really do ensure your dog is treated as a guest, not just the pet you are bringing along on your holiday. The beach is literally a 5 minute walk away, it's massive and usually very quiet. The amenities in the town are very good. We visited the local cafe, pub, and got quality fish and chips on our last evening. Finally, the communication and instructions from our host was excellent and we would have no hesitation about visiting again in the future.
