April Cottage | Winterton Cottages

This stunning two bedroom detached cottage is centrally located in Winterton-on-Sea, and less than 5 minutes walk from the beach. When you arrive and park, there’s no need to drive anywhere as everything you need for a relaxing stay is right on your doorstep. The cottage sleeps 4 in 2 double bedrooms, with up to 2 dogs welcome at no additional charge.

Full of character, April Cottage has been lovingly restored to provide stylish and well equipped accommodation. Downstairs, the living room has comfortable sofas, TV/DVD, woodburning stove and patio doors leading to a sunny enclosed courtyard behind the cottage. The separate dining room features an original stone floor and leads through to the well equipped kitchen with an electric oven, fridge with a small freezer compartment and a microwave. The washing machine and dryer are in the outhouse which is just outside the stable style kitchen door.

Upstairs there are two beautifully appointed bedrooms. Bedroom one has a comfortable kingsize bed, and bedroom two has a standard double bed and a shower. The upstairs bathroom features a beautiful slipper bath for relaxing in, as well as a washbasin and WC. Please note that the quirky character of the cottage means the property is unsuitable for younger children under 10 years old.

At the side of the cottage is a gravelled parking area with space for one car, and there is free off road parking available nearby in the village. The parking area leads to a pretty cobbled courtyard with a bench, table and chairs. Up to 1 large dog or 2 medium/small dogs are welcome at April Cottage at no additional charge. There is free unlimited WiFi for guests.

The local Fisherman’s Return pub (dog friendly) serves good food, and is a 2 minute walk from April 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.

Check in is from 4pm and check out is 10am, unless it's a Sunday when the check out time is 4pm
