Description
Bosuns Cottage is a pretty detached thatched cottage overlooking the village green in Winterton-on-Sea. It provides a perfect place for a family 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, 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, 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.
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! Children must be five years or older. 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 Ketch 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.
