Fantastic Holiday

Lovely cottage in a superb location. As the stairs to the main bedroom were pretty steep we opted to use the downstairs bedroom which had a lovely en suite bathroom. Cottage very comfortable and cosy - had everything we needed for a great holiday. We would love to go back again in the not too distant future.

Lovely cottage.

We had a week at Admiral cottage. First thing that struck us was how clean the cottage was. Thank you for the welcome goodies we both enjoyed them. We did live downstairs and did not bother with upstairs purely down to the stairs. We were very comfortable, beds are very comfy. Downstairs bathroom is a good size, shower is excellent. Kitchen well stocked with all equipment.

Great cottage. Really useful having two bathrooms. Stairs are steep and winding but soon got used to them. Good location in the village with beach, shop, cafe, chip shop and very good pub all just a couple of minutes walk away.

Lovely place!

Beautiful little cottage about 1 min walk to the dunes and even less to the pub! There is a lovely little garden at the back of the cottage and we enjoyed sitting out in the sunshine. Highly recommended.

Watch your head

Lovely little cottage which is located well for the pub, beach and shop. Cozey with everything you need to enjoy your stay. As stated stairs are very steep and the door into the cottage is very low so watch your head. Pub offers an excellent range of food and drinks and is dog friendly. Chip shop is also excellent. Even the weather was spot on.

Another great stay at this lovely cottage

This is our fourth time at Admiral Cottage. We had a lovely time as always. The cottage is just perfect for the two of us our dog Albus, and is like a home from home. It's perfectly situated within a five minute walk to the dunes and onto the beach. Winterton has everything we need for a great holiday, including the pub and fish and chip shop! We can also highly recommend the beach cafe.

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

Dog friendly seaside stay

Pretty cottage in the centre of a dog friendly village, short walk to the lovely sandy beach and next-door to the pub. 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.

Admiral's Cottage is warm, comfortable, spotless and in a fantastic location for Winterton beach. We've stayed there several times. It's got everything you need, plus you're - literally - round the corner from a great pub (Fisherman's Return) and under five minutes' walk from the sea. Great welcome pack, helpful host. Thoroughly recommended.
