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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.....
