Description

Ketch Cottage is a pretty thatched cottage, one of a pair 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, Ketch Cottage is close to all the village amenities including the local pub, fish & chip shop, Dunes cafe, post office and village shop.

The living room overlooks the village green and has ample seating with TV with a Sky Box that includes Netflix and Amazon Prime streaming. There is a wood burning stove (no fuel provided). Cupboard in the lounge has an iron, ironing board, travel cot, bassinet and highchair for guest use. Doors at the rear of the living room open onto the patio at the back of the cottage. The separate dining room also has doors opening onto the patio. The owners have made sure that the kitchen is well equipped with an electric cooker, hob, microwave and full size dishwasher. In the utility area there's a washer/drier along with a fridge and separate freezer.

The downstairs bathroom has a bath with shower over it, wash basin and WC. Upstairs, the two bedrooms are tastefully furnished with a standard double bed in the main bedroom overlooking the village green. The second bedroom has the same view with two standard size single beds. There is a hairdryer at the property.

At the rear of the cottage the back garden has two areas: a large patio with garden furniture, and then steps lead up to a pretty lawn area planted with shrubs and trees. The back garden is fully enclosed and safe for dogs - two dogs are welcome and the beach is only a 5 minute walk away. Off road parking is at the front of the cottage.

Location

Ketch 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.

Delightful house in the lovely seaside town of Winterton. Ideally situated for the beach and all ammenities (pub and shop). Good off road parking, accomodated our two dogs well. Well equipped and comfortable. We will return.

Loved the location, walking distance to the beach and across the road from the Fisherman's return. Also the basket of treats was a wonderful gift on arrival.

This cottage is perfect location, pub is across the road, local shop too and the beach is a 10 minute walk. Very homely, everything you could think of or need is there. The garden was perfect for our dog, just the right size (when he wasn’t too tired from all his beach walks). There is also an enclosed dog field you can hire walking distance if your dog doesn’t have great recall it’s perfect, it’s called Winterton hound ground. Only negative I have is the towels were small and the mattress could be harder. Loved our stay there and would recommend to friends. Thank you

We had a lovely week at Ketch Cottage. The cottage as everything g you need, we arrived to a lovely basket of goodies which was very welcome. Everything was clean, comfy beds and bed linen. Towels could be a bit bigger. Plenty of parking, garden lovely, our dogs loved it. The fact that the beech is a short walk away is a massive bonus with some lovely walks. The pub at the end of the drive also great, food was good and really friendly. We would love to go back.

Beautiful cottage in quiet, central location with easy access to the beach. We have stayed in Winterton for several years and this is by far the best cottage that we have stayed in. Secure garden for dog and direct access to kitchen/ utility room to clean up before accessing the rest of property. Comfortable beds, well equipped and clean throughout. We had an excellent stay- thank you.

Lovely comfortable cottage with everything we could possibly need. Beautiful garden though weather wasn’t nice enough to really enjoy it. We come to Winterton 3 times a year and definitely feel this was one of our favourite cottages. Lovely friendly village and amazing beach. Looking forward to our next visit to Winterton in November though not in this cottage but maybe in the future 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Our second stay at Ketch Cottage, which is perfectly located and well equipped. The weather was not kind to us but didn’t stop us from walking on the beach and through the dunes, making our annual trip to Cart Gap to visit to Smallsticks cafe and the RNLI shop. Great food from the Fisherman’s Return and the chipppy, friendly service in the local mini supermarket too. We will be back again!

A long overdue visit back to Ketch cottage after 19 years. A host of improvements to the property in that time which came equipped with most things needed for a week away from home. Still able even the week after Easter to find lots of space in the dunes and foreshore for long walks with our 2 remaining dog which just love to run around on the firm sand areas. I have been lucky to have travelled around the world but give me honest olde Winterton on Sea, for us it cannot be beaten if you a are a loving dog owner.

We stayed over New year and had a lovely week in this cosy cottage. It was nice to arrive to a warm house with a Christmas tree and a welcome basket of treats. The kitchen, although quite small is well stocked and it was nice to have a separate dining room. The garden was perfect for our spaniel. It's location was good for walks onto the dunes/beach and the shop and pub. We would definitely stay again.
