About this property

Henry's Cottage - a place to make you smile

Henrys’ is a cosy relaxing cottage, sleeping 4, it's well equipped and contains, an entrance lobby, downstairs shower room, a new and much extended dining kitchen and lounge, upstairs are two double bedrooms and is ideal for families and couples alike wanting a seaside holiday or to use as a base for exploring the broads and this delightful area.

A suntrap garden, multifuel stove and open fire make this an ideal holiday cottage all year round.

Pleasantly situated in the small village of Winterton-on-Sea Henry's cottage is just 5 minutes walk from the beautiful sandy beach and dunes. The village also boasts an excellent local pub, shop, post office, fish and chip shop, beach cafe and cafe all close by.

Henry's is a former fisherman's cottage that dates back approximately 150 years with comfortable lounge, fabulous fitted kitchen dining room seating 4, shower room and two double bedrooms, with drawers, wardrobe or hanging space. (one also has a cot bed suitable for a small child). As an old cottage I have tried to remain sympathetic to it's rustic character and charm, allowing you to enjoy it's relax and unwind in pleasant surroundings.

PLEASE NOTE. This is an old fishermans cottage and the stairs are steep, turning and wooden, not suitable for anyone with mobility issues

Outside there is parking for two cars and pleasant gardens both front and back, a decking area with garden furniture to enjoy the first cup of tea of the day, both a brick built barbecue & gas bbq and sun loungers available for the most relaxing of days.

Situated in the heart of the village there's always someone to talk to, and you're never far from anywhere, in addition to the pubs and shops there is an excellent children's playground for a change from the beach, while on the edge of the village is a beautiful church dating back to the 1500's and seals often seen on the beach and playing in the sea, meaning that there is always something to do or somewhere to visit.

If you choose to book, why not also choose to pay me direct, this will save us both money - just send an enquiry and ask. As you can see I've been hosting for many years and always honour bookings.

Seal watching at Henry’s Cottage

This is a great place to stay for watching seals on Winterton beach in the winter. The cottage is very comfortable and close to the local pub and shops. The rooms are a decent size and the open fire keeps it nice and warm. The only drawback is the very steep stairs which might not suit everybody . Also there was a lingering smell of drains in the kitchen, which was tolerable in winter but might be harder to put up with in warm weather. Despite this minor concern we had a great time and would recommend Henry’s Cottage for a relaxing winter break.

Lovely seaside holiday cottage

This was our second stay at Henry’s Cottage and we loved it just as much as the first time , lovely location 5 mins walk to the beach and off street parking .Village has a local convenience store as well as a post office with a small tea room which was only opened a few weeks ago , had a cream tea there and it was very nice !. There is also a fish and chip shop and a pub which serves food as well as the beach cafe if you don’t fancy cooking!

Very comfortable stay.

We enjoyed our week immensely, Henry's cottage is comfortable and cosy and the large, modern kitchen/eating area is excellent. Having such an incredible beach just 5 minutes walk from the door was superb, and the two local shops have all the essentials. We didn't use the pub over the road in the end, but we never heard a single sound from it all week. We hope to be back in the future!

A lovely gem of a cottage

We have had a lovely stay at Henry’s Cottage with our 2 children. The cottage is beautiful and well kept with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The front and back garden are lovely (although we didn’t really get the weather to enjoy the properly!)! All in all there isn’t really anything we’d change and we hope to come back soon!

About the host

Hosted by Marie Ungless

Although I live in Nottingham I've owned the cottage for a while now and this is my 'special go to place' where I have had many happy times. The cottage is named after my son who is now 20 and has been going all his life - it was his first holiday! We have spent many wonderful days in the cottage and exploring the surrounding area regardless of the weather! I'm sure you'll have a fabulous holiday too.
It was fate when I found the cottage, (I wasn't even looking at the time), but a series of events led me to the cottage and to buying at auction - one of the best decisions of my life - other than having my son and marrying my second husband!

Why they chose this property

Henrys cottage is in the heart of the village and is a wonderful homely place that immediately welcomes you, allowing you to relax and unwind ready for your holiday adventure. Open fires make it cosy in winter and the fantastic sun trap of a garden make it the ideal relaxation spot on a sunny day on the sunloungers provided. The garden has a seating area and BBQ with parking for upto 2 cars.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is essentially a two up two down fishermans cottage, with a unique feeling that wraps itself around you - its a house that makes you smile. It's not the poshest or the most modern but it's warm and welcoming and the moment you walk in the door, you start to relax and unwind - the perfect holiday destination. Set in a friendly village with just enough facilities to satisfy your needs but not so many that it overwhelms.
