Spacious Coastal Cottage close to Beach & Dunes

We stayed for a week at the Old Village Shop house which is a quirky and unusual property full of character and charm. There is even a facade on the outside which is a delight to see plus the history of the home is provided. Lovely warm house, plenty of hot water, great large shower and everything and more you could need for a great stay. Parking on front drive which is great (so often properties don't have private parking) and a short walk to the dunes and beach. Responsive, caring and friendly owners (booked through Winterton Cottages). Definitely recommend.

had such a pleasant stay! lovely cottage - easy booking and lots of lovely things to do locally and the village was beautiful. really enjoyed our stay! thankyou

Our second stay at different properties owned by Winterton Cottages just like their other property it didn’t disappoint, very spacious, well equipped and nicely decorated

My only comment would be- to brush down cobwebs on the outside furniture. The house was in a great location and fully equipped

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 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!

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.

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 incase 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 was our second visit to Winterton, but the first time staying in The Old Village Shop. The house was comfortable and warm, and the kitchen well equipped. I was pleased to find plenty of mugs, crockery and cutlery. We were aware of the quirky layout and it was fine for us, but be aware the second staircase at the back of the house is steep and narrow. There was plenty of room on the large sofa for 5 of us to watch TV. There was also a selection of games, puzzles, books and DVDs in the house. We chose the house partly because it had a parking space, but there was on street parking available too. We used the village shop and had a delicious takeaway from the fish & chip shop. It was an easy drive into Great Yarmouth for a bit of seaside fun and we also walked along the dunes into Hemsby. Winterton is a brilliant location for easy access to the beach and sand dunes, all within a few minutes walk. Loved the village as much as we did on our first visit in 2022 and will definitely return.

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.

This was our second stay in the old Village Shop, Ideally situated for the Dunes and the beach to walk Dogs and everything you need is in the village. Property is clean and comfortable with everything you need to enjoy a relaxing time.

Lovey place to stay, Kitchen a bit tiny especially when you have dogs. Parking only just managed to get car on drive, especially with cars parked across the road.
