Worked very well for 3 adults and 2 dogs, we were very lucky with great weather so the garden became an extra room which was extremely helpful for us and secure for the dogs. Clean and as described on the listing, only issue was that the microwave didn't work. ##### Lisa J.

The pub at the back was friendly and served great food. Seeing the seals on the beach was the icing on the cake. Winterton-on-sea is a pretty little village and we hope to return. Couldn’t have wished for a better place for dog-owners. ##### Jane B.

We have two labradors they love it too! It’s just a lovely cosy little place. Very steep stairs to second bedroom so be careful but both bedrooms beautifully clean as were the bathrooms. Kitchen is small but well equipped and small enclosed garden is very pretty. The porch is great for wet clothes boots etc. Only slight criticism is that the living room smelled very doggy when we arrived but we sprayed air fresheners and opened the doors and it was fine. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### David H. 28 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Cottage. Great location. We really enjoyed our stay at Admiral Cottage. The location is great. The Village is small and peacful, with a shop, post office, chip shop and a dog friendly pub that serves great beer and food and is only a 2 minute walk away. The cottage is literaly a 10 minute walk from the dunes and beach. The cottage was lovely. Generaly clean warm and well presented. The only minor criticism we had was that some of the crockery wasnt very clean, but soon remedied. Its worth noting that the stairs to the double room are very steep and narrow. But on the whole,a great place to stay..... ##### David H. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David B. 30 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect getaway Great little cottage perfectly positioned in the village for everything you need......loads of character very clean and toasty warm.Stairs are a bit of a challenge after a few drinks so would recommend younger guest's sleep upstairs or guests that dont drink as much as me lol.We spent Christmas there and when we arrived there was a tree up and decorations which was a lovely surprise Only criticism i have is not with the cottage but the pub it backs onto.....7th time in winterton and the fisherman's prices have gone through the roof....probably because they are the only pub in the village and can charge what they want....which will backfire on them eventually as we only used it twice in 7 days just because of the prices. Didn't stop us having an amazing holiday though in a superb cottage in a fantastic village ##### David B. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen S. 21 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful The property was a lovely cottage. Home from home. Couldn't ask for more. Warm and close to the beach. Was a wonderful week we all enjoyed. Saw the seals at a distance of course. Saw the windmill at Horsey and had lovely walks close by. Weather was great but would still have enjoyed even if it had rained. The cottage is completely dog friendly. Safe and warm. Clean and cozy. Will stay again or at one of the sister cottages they all look good. Was welcomed with two bottles of wine and some biscuits. Didn't want to come home what a wonderful cottage ##### Helen S. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth B. 25 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect holiday by the sea! We had a wonderful week at Admiral Cottage with our 2 spaniels, Clover & Ivy. Comfortable throughout, and has everything you might need. Cosy living room, comfy beds and an enormous bath! The garden is secure, which is brilliant for anyone with dogs or children. Such a lovely location. Really close to the beautiful beach and dunes… Perfect for humans and dogs to enjoy and explore. We absolutely fell in love with the village and the area. Local pub has good food and is completely dog friendly, as are the staff. Gorgeous tea room which doubles as the post office, called Poppy's after the owners’ dog who is a big, gentle, fluffy fixture… Again completely dog friendly, including dog snacks on the menu… Our furry babies enjoyed their sausages very much. Great cafe at the beach too. There's a stunning and really atmospheric church ruin (St Mary's) hidden in the woods, which you can walk to, about 3 - 3.5 miles there and back - It even has its own spooky witch legend! We cannot wait to come back, and would very happily stay at Admiral Cottage again. ##### Beth B. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A much needed break We really needed a fully relaxing break. We've had builders in at home and just needed to sit back and relax. Admirals Cottage was warm, comfortable and a great location in Winterton. Having a parking space is a boon. The rear garden is secure with good lighting in these dark nights. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. Great to have dressing gowns and the shower is first class. The log burner was brilliant. The cottage was warm and toasty. Even more so with the log burner. A metal ashes bucket might be handy to have. Lovely welcome pack. Winterton is well placed to visit the Broads. The pub is brilliant, great staff and fab food. The locals are welcoming and very dog friendly. Thanks for a great rest. It was everything we needed and our dogs were so relaxed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jodi V. 3 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic location and accommodation. We had a great 3 night stay with 2 children and 2 adults. As others have said, the upstairs rm is really only accessible for older children (5/6 +) & adults due to v v steep stairway. Bed upstairs was super comfy, twin beds a little on the hard side for us. Note that only 13 tog duvets were available if this is likely to be a problem. Tbf, we didn't ask for thinner ones as only had 3 nights and were really comfortable with what we had. Very cosy in top room! We used online delivery from Tesco's but village shop is also really well stocked for essentials (needed washing up liquid and washing powder). Pub at rear of property serving great food, but gets v busy around 6 - 8pm. No noise from pub could be heard come late evening. The cottage had everythjng we needed to cook and welcome package was a lovely treat, thank you! Only not given 5 stars as we had to give cookware/kettle/coffee machine/mugs/outdoor furniture a thorough clean on arrival - guess not necessarily used much? Most items that you would put through a dishwasher were clean and all other areas in the cottage were thoroughly clean, with towels and toilet roll being provided. Walk to the beach is 10mins, which was perfect and we felt thoroughly spoilt to have this spot on our doorstep, inc a really well served café too. (Cafe = Gf bacon rolls available, but other allergies may struggle). We hope to return at some point and explore more! ##### Jodi V.
