Description

Bosuns Cottage is a pretty detached thatched cottage overlooking the village green in Winterton-on-Sea. It provides a perfect place for a holiday, or a getaway at any time of year. As well as being five minutes stroll from the beach, Bosuns Cottage is close to all the village amenities including the local pub, fish & chip shop, Seal View cafe, post office and village shop.

The spacious living area spans the length of the left side of the property with comfortable seating for six with sofas and armchairs. There is a modern electric fire and Smart TV with Sky (including Sky Sports), Netflix and a DVD player. This continues into the bright and airy kitchen and dining areas which overlook the pretty garden. The well equipped kitchen has a high level electric oven, hob, Nespresso machine, slow cooker, under counter fridge and full size dishwasher. There is an additional fridge/freezer and washer/dryer in the garage. There is a large oak dining table and chairs. Access to the garden is through the double patio doors.

With two double bedrooms, Bosun's Cottage is suitable for up to four adults (no children allowed). The downstairs ensuite bedroom has a kingsize bed and plenty of storage. There is also private access to the garden. The en suite has a walk in shower, WC and basin. The garage is accessed through the downstairs bedroom. A further downstairs shower room is to the right of the front door. Upstairs there is a further kingsize bedroom overlooking the green. There is a wardrobe, drawers and dressing table.

At the rear of the cottage the back garden has two areas: a patio with garden furniture, and then steps lead down to a pretty lawn area planted with shrubs and trees. The back garden is fully enclosed and safe for dogs - two small/medium dogs are welcome and the beach is only a 5 minute walk away. There is an outside tap at the front of the cottage for washing sandy paws! Off road parking for two cars is at the front of the cottage on the driveway.

Location

Bosuns Cottage is set in the heart of Winterton-on-Sea, a pretty unspoilt village perched on the Norfolk Coast. It only takes 5-10 min to walk to long sandy beaches which are dog friendly all year round.

The local Fisherman’s Return pub (dog friendly) serves good food, and is a over the road from Bosuns Cottage. Also in the village within walking distance you’ll find the village shop, Poppy’s post office and tea rooms (we can recommend the breakfasts), a fish & chip shop and Seal View café at the beach.

There’s an excellent choice of walks right from the doorstep, and Winterton Dunes is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). From the end of November to the beginning of January it’s pupping season for the local grey seal colony, with literally thousands of them on Horsey beach just 10 mins drive from Winterton. It’s an amazing sight to see.

For cyclists there’s a great choice of routes and trails to enjoy. A little further afield the Norfolk Broads offers scenic boat trips or hire your own boat for the day. There’s also fishing, kayaking, canoeing and paddleboarding available.

For families, the seaside town of Gt Yarmouth is only a 15 minute drive away, with a sandy beach, end of pier entertainment, Sea Life centre, amusement arcades, pleasure beach, bowling, cinemas, Venetian Waterways, crazy golf and much more. We also recommend the award winning BeWILDerwood an outdoor tree house adventure park with zip wires, jungle bridges, marsh walks and boat rides - just a 20 minute drive away near Horning. Wroxham Barns is nearby with independent shops, craft studios, a kids' farm, funfair and restaurant.

The fine city of Norwich is a 40 minute drive away, and offers shopping, museums, restaurants and a choice of theatres.

There’s a great choice of places to eat out locally including beachside cafes, local pubs and fine dining restaurants and we provide all guests with a comprehensive list in our digital welcome information.

We had a lovely break at Bosuns cottage. Location is excellent, just minutes from the pub, Poppy's and the beach. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, with everything you would need for your stay. We were very lucky with the weather so was able to make the most of the gorgeous garden, which had plenty of seating and totally safe for our dog. Communication with Ian, the owner, was excellent and the welcome pack was generous and very much appreciated. Hope to return very soon.

Excellent. Very well stocked with utensils etc. Good design particularly in the conversion of the old garage. Lovely garden. Hope it survives two dogs having fun! Comfortable bed. Will hopefully return.

Bosun = A ships officer in charge of equipment and the crew. Well, you have thought of every piece of equipment for the "Bosuns Cottage" and this crew (that's us!) We're more than happy with everything. Five stars +! 7th stay in Winterton, this is the 7th wonder of Winterton!

Having spent the last 20 or so years frequently staying in Winterton using Holiday lets and Airbnb's this is probably the best property we have stayed in. For a 2 bed property it is spacious, comfortable and very homely. The place was spotless and attention to detail for what visitors need was spot on. They also leave all those little things you tend to forget such as salt, pepper all condiments, cleaning products etc they many lets don't. The owner was super helpful and kind. We have already booked to come back.

Well I think we have found our happy place!! My wife and i thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bosuns cottage which was the perfect base for the local beaches and dog walks. Further afield we visited Sheringham, Cromer and Great Yarmouth. The property itself had all that we needed or could have asked for and is of excellent quality throughout. The un-overlooked garden was a particular highlight and sitting in it after our adventures, the perfect (along with a late afternoon G & T) end to our day. We have nothing but praise for this gem of a hideaway - thank you Bosuns for the happy memories.

Bosuns Cottage is set in an idyllic location a short walk from an expansive beach. The cottage is light & airy & modern inside which is a welcome surprise. It is very clean, comfortable & well maintained with an private garden to sit & have breakfast in. Everything you could want is there.The village itself comprises of a great pub serving delicious food. A fish & chip shop, post office, corner shop, coffee shop all within a couple of minutes walk. There are also various takeaways a very short drive away & a fabulous Indian restaurant nearby in Ormesby called Planet Spice. If you have a car there are so many places to visit. We had a memorable stay & would definitely return.

We had a lovely relaxing stay in Bosun’s Cottage. The downstairs bedroom is super comfy with a lovely hot shower in the ensuite. The garden is accessed from the kitchen and is properly secure so there was no worries about the dog being outside while we relaxed inside. The location is outstanding, central but still quiet. We can recommend Poppies for breakfast and The Fisherman’s Return for dinner, both minutes away. There is a short cut to the dunes so very little road walking is necessary to get to the beach. We would definitely stay at this cottage again in the future as everything about it is high quality.
