Location

The Old Village Shop is 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 2 minute walk from the property. 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 very much enjoyed our stay and found a new walk through the dunes very close by. The Old Village Shop was immaculate and had everything we needed and more we didn’t know we might need! It was very light and airy, comfortable from the large sofa to the bed and huge bathroom. The weather was good to enjoy the dog friendly garden and BBQ. Location was ideal for everything from beach to pub to shop and parking. We loved the quirkiness of 2 staircases and the old shop window, I bet there are some stories to be told!

A wonderful stay! Perfectly located for walking to the beach and close to local convenience store and coffee shop. Easy access to walking/running trails as well. The house had everything we needed and we were able to stay comfortably with four adults and two children.

We've been staying in different cottages in Winterton-on-Sea for the last 10 years once if not twice a year and The Old Village Shop is probably the best we've stayed in it was clean, comfortable and in a good location. Only downside was the garden furniture had been damaged the week before we arrived and no replacement had been sourced before our arrival, but the owners had texted to tell me. We will definitely return.

A wonderful place for a dog walking holiday. So close to the beach and miles of sand in both directions. House is big enough (we were 5 adults and 2 dogs) and is very well equipped and warm. A very quiet spot in a village that has everything you need on the doorstep. Recommend the walk to the Nelson pub for lunch! Would definitely book again as week wasn’t long enough!

Everything about this trip was outstanding - the customer service from Winterton Cottages at the point of booking where Rachel couldn't have been more helpful giving me so much information. The cottage was outstanding, had absolutely everything we could have needed (we will be packing much less next visit!) and a lovely welcome basket of treats on arrival too. The village is stunning has all the essentials (pub, cafe, beach cafe & shop!) but was so quiet and quaint - we had the most peaceful relaxing week - have already booked the Village Shop for the same time next year and are hoping to fit another long weekend at some point later this year!

Everything about this house was perfect for us, from its location to the facilities and great thought that has been put into decorating and furnishing the property. The house is wonderful, with a great layout and plenty of space. We were happy and comfortable throughout our stay and will definitely return as it felt more of a home from home than just a house rental. We had 2 little dogs with us who are highly suspicious of wooden floors, so it was ideal that the house was carpeted downstairs and allowed them to move around freely rather than as if they were on an ice rink! We have been to Winterton a number of times and by far, this was our favourite house. I almost don't want to recommend it to others in case we can't then get availability to stay here again, but in reality I cannot recommend this property highly enough, it was absolutely wonderful!!

A lovely cottage in a great location to explore Norfolk or enjoy the dunes, which are a 2 minute walk. A nice local pub that is always welcoming. This is our 4th visit to the Old Village Shop so, that should say it all. Looking forward to the next one.

This is a really lovey cottage to stay in. Very comfortable and has a well equipped kitchen. A stones throw away from the dunes to the beach. A lovely basket of treats was left on the table for us. Would highly recommend staying here.

The Old Village Shop provided a perfect base to explore the wonderful beach & sand dunes. The village store, Pub & chip shop are all a very short walk away. The accommodation was homely, spacious, clean & warm. It worked perfectly for us with our dog. We would highly recommend it & we would love to go again.

Fabulous stay in this well-appointed home in a really lovely village. So close to the beach as well as the local pub, convenience store and fish & chip shop. Some amazing places to visit nearby and the online guide and app were fantastic in recommending good beaches and places to eat and see. Such a great help for new Norfolk tourists! Loved it and will definitely be back!

This place was exactly what we was looking for, clean, tidy and local to some beautiful beaches. Everything you need is in the cottage they have thought of everything. Very lovely stay.

We stayed at the old village shop and it was lovely! The accommodation had everything you need, was comfortable and very clean! The hamper basket full of treats was a lovely touch :) ! The accommodation was located right near the beach and dunes which was beautiful and we enjoyed lots of lovely walks with the dogs here! I could not recommend it enough and it was great value for money!
