WOW ! We have stayed in many different holiday cottages along the Norfolk. Salty Dogs at Winterton-on-sea is our favourite. Our holiday/weekend break usually goes something like this; drive down, arrive at around 4pm, unload, get settled, have a cup of tea, go find a fish-n-chip shop, watch telly, and then work out what’s missing from the holiday let -make a list and go buy said items the following day! We take as much as we with us to avoid losing precious holiday-time away. With Salty Dogs We didn’t need to buy anything, and that’s a first for us! We didn’t even need s kettle as the cottage has a ‘Quooker’ hot water system -a brew was no problem at all.
Most cottages provide a welcome pack, some with more info than others. However, the Salty Dogs Beach House Folder, is not only informative, but it also makes for a very pleasant read. I personally loved the Winterton History page.
We always take a holiday in February because Feb 2nd is our wedding anniversary, and this year 2026, was our 2nd wedding anniversary! While that conjures up a vision of youthful newly-weds, I feel compelled to say that I am 71, and Denise my wife is 50 something. We have been together for 24 years and are proactive in continuing to live our stress version of ‘Happily Ever After.
Points to note; the downstairs shower-room/toilet, right by the front door. At first glance this might seem odd to some, and to be honest, we didn’t notice when looking online. However, it is a pleasant surprise and is more than convenient. This week we had to contend with heavy rain, but we don’t let bad weather stop us going to the beach. Having the enclosed porch to de-robe out of wet clothes and the bathroom so close, really added to our experience. Get inside, get yourself dry, and then shut out the outside world and relax. Warm and comfortable. The central heating is great, even though the cottage is quite spacious -and I might add very well laid out, there are no cold-spots.
My mobility is not great these days. My wife Denise had misgivings about the staircase. However, I pointed out that it is no different from other cottages we have stayed and was and certainly do-able with the rails that are in place. There is also a vertical rail which is a stroke of genius.
We really like the homely feel of Salty Dogs; much thought has gone into creating the right ‘feel’ – little touches, such as lights in the cupboards, a well equipped kitchen, good Wi-Fi, smart TV, DAB radio, as well as a cupboard draw full of board games and another full of DVD’s etc. And with really nice décor, both upstairs and down, Salty Dogs ‘does NOT look like it all came from the nearest charity shop’

There is an well planted enclosed garden with access to the designated parking space, and there is alternative parking opposite the front door, if you prefer.
My wife said “…this cottage has got heart, it really does feel like a home away from home a great place to forget the world and just relax” - even Eddy our 8 yr old Shih-Tzu has sulked since we arrived home!
Thanks Sarah & Paul ( Salty Dogs ) for a wonderful week, we hope to make it back again soon. Steve & Denise

Saltydogs is wonderfully located right in the centre 5 minutes from the beach, the shop and the pub!

Tastefully decorated with some lovely features. Quality furnishings like windows, flooring, decor.

The owners are excellent hosts and very responsive. Spacious bedrooms. The cottage is lovely and warm, the welcome pack was also great.

The only negatives for me, and this is a personal preference is the soft memory foam mattress having spinal issues.
My doggy wouldn’t toilet in the paved garden but again not a negative for most.

I think the elderly and young children would struggle with the narrow spiral type stair case and be aware the bathroom is downstairs.

A cute and cosy cottage.
