The spacious living area spans the length of the left side of the property with comfortable seating for six with sofas and armchairs. There is a modern electric fire and Smart TV with Sky (including Sky Sports), Netflix and a DVD player. This continues into the bright and airy kitchen and dining areas which overlook the pretty garden.

A further downstairs shower room is to the right of the front door. Upstairs there is a further kingsize bedroom overlooking the green. There is a wardrobe, drawers and dressing table.
At the rear of the cottage the back garden has two areas: a patio with garden furniture, and then steps lead down to a pretty lawn area planted with shrubs and trees. The back garden is fully enclosed and safe for dogs - two small/medium dogs are welcome and the beach is only a 5 minute walk away. Dogs are welcome in the downstairs living areas, but we kindly ask that they are kept off the furniture. There is an outside tap at the front of the cottage for washing sandy paws!

Lovely stay
Cottage was fantastic. Everything you could possibly need and such a lovely location. My second visit to Winterton on Sea and wasn’t disappointed. Garden secure for dogs. Lovely dog friendly beach just a few minutes drive away. Poppy Tearoom in village is a must to visit.

A beautiful, comfortable cottage in a lovely Norfolk village
We absolutely loved our stay in Bosun’s cottage and couldn’t fault it. Warm, clean and comfortable, the cottage was incredibly well equipped. Secure garden for our dog to sniff around and just a short walk to the sand dunes and beach. A reasonable pub in the village, good cafe and fish and chips meant we didn’t need to stray far. Other excellent pubs and walks within easy drive. A perfect place for break with the dog and we will return.

Beautiful Cosy Cottage
I have stayed in Winterton many times but Bosuns Cottage is one of the best cottages I have stayed in. The outside of the cottage is picture perfect and inside is spotlessly clean and cosy. Every detail has been thought of to make it a lovely restful stay. It is ideally situated within easy reach of the village shops and the cosy village pub which does fantastic food and has the added benefit of being dog friendly. It is also only a short walk to the beautiful sandy, dog friendly beach. Thank you for a truly lovely restful holiday.

Beautiful Bosuns Cottage
We had a lovely break at Bosuns cottage. Location is excellent, just minutes from the pub, Poppys and the beach. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, with everything you would need for your stay. We were very lucky with the weather so was able to make the most of the gorgeous garden, which had plenty of seating and totally safe for our dog.
Communication with Ian, the owner, was excellent and the welcome pack was generous and very much appreciated. Hope to return very soon.
