Featured Getaways
When you imagine a holiday on the Norfolk coast, there’s something magical about staying in a traditional thatched property. At Winterton Cottages, we’re proud to offer some truly unique homes that combine history, comfort, and plenty of character. Whether you’re looking for a cosy bolthole for two or a spacious retreat for the whole family, here are three of our stand-out cottages — each with its own special charm.
The Cranny – A Quirky Roundhouse
Full of character and history, The Cranny is a thatched roundhouse that feels like stepping into a fairytale. With curved walls, exposed beams, and a warm, inviting interior, it’s a cottage that’s as unique as it is comfortable. Inside you’ll find a snug living space perfect for relaxing after a day on the beach, plus a well-equipped kitchen for evenings spent cooking together. Guests love the enclosed garden, which is ideal for dogs, and the short walk to Winterton’s dunes and beach. For couples or small families looking for a one-of-a-kind coastal escape, The Cranny is a firm favourite.
Captain’s Cottage – Cosy Seaside Charm
Tucked in the heart of Winterton, Captain’s Cottage offers a cosy retreat that captures the spirit of a traditional seaside holiday. With its thatched roof, wood burner, and light-filled rooms, it has all the charm of a period cottage combined with the comforts you’d expect from a modern holiday home. It’s perfect for couples or smaller groups who want a welcoming base close to the beach. The cottage has a private garden for morning coffee or evening barbecues, and the interiors are styled to feel both homely and uplifting. Guests often remark on the thoughtful little touches that make them feel instantly at ease from the moment they arrive.
High Barn – Space and Style for Groups
If you’re planning a larger gathering, High Barn is ideal. This spacious thatched property in Happisburgh blends rustic charm with modern design, offering plenty of room for families or groups of friends to spread out and relax. Its vaulted ceilings and open-plan living areas give a sense of light and space, while cosy corners mean everyone can find their favourite spot. The large garden is perfect for children and dogs to enjoy, and it’s a great base for days filled with sand, sea, and coastal walks. High Barn offers the best of both worlds — a beautiful historic building with all the space and facilities you need for a memorable group holiday.
