Tigh-Na-Mara

Winterton Valley Estate is on the outskirts of Winterton-on-Sea - a pretty unspoilt village perched on the Norfolk Coast, with long sandy beaches which are dog friendly all year round. There is no clubhouse or amenities on site and the chalets are very well spaced out, so the estate offers a peaceful and relaxed environment to enjoy your stay.

The local Fisherman’s Return pub (dog friendly) serves good food, the village also has a local shop, Poppy’s post office and tea rooms (we can recommend the breakfasts), a fish & chip shop and Seal View cafe 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.
