A great property for those with physical disabilities thanks to the lift. What let's this down as perfect is the low toilets with zero hand rails etc. So for those with physical disabilities who struggle to rise bringing a raiser or similar is essential.
We experienced 4 seasons in one week, rain, sun, gales and snow and ice. The paddock, great, we didn't need to drive in the snow and ice. The garden, great, for those with reactive dogs the garden, whilst secure, looks openly onto the next doors drive and front door meaning dogs are seeing people coming and going which was triggering so supervision was needed whilst the dogs were outside.
We had a few issues with repairs shower handle, broken blind, no working tin opener which took 7 days upon reporting for someone to attend and supply ones and check the issues.
The location is great, although, the property photos made it seem like it was set back from the road but in reality it's right on a busy road so care needs to be taken getting dogs in and out.
I would definitely recommend this property and book again bringing equipment needed to mitigate the low toilets.
The only word of warning to note is keep the windows closed on Tuesday evenings, we had looked forward to sampling the chips from the chip can across the road but the smell of the old oil and fish was not appealing.



A wonderful place to stay

We have just returned from The Carpenters Shop and have already booked to return next year. It is beautifully laid out, comfortable and equipped with everything you could need. The garden is spacious and the paddock is a lovely space to use when you just want a play with the dogs or maybe some search games or training.
There are several lovely beaches nearby, Winterton was our favourite. Tacons farm shop has lovely fresh veg, meat, cheese, homemade pies, bread and cakes. The staff are really friendly and helpful.
Nippy Chippy food van serves from the car park opposite. Food can be pre ordered and is freshly cooked.
If your dogs are people reactive, the bungalow next door overlooks the garden, but the occupants are friendly. A busy road runs past it but once inside, it doesn't cause a disturbance.
We can't wait to go back next year.

Carpenters Shop is just the nicest property. On arrival immaculately clean and tidy, everything we could possibly need right on hand. Top of the range cooking facilities, Ninja included! The upside down living was perfect and the lift to get food supplies upstairs on arrival was welcomed and loved by the 12 year old in our party. Parking a doddle and access to the garden spot on. Great location for exploring this part of Norfolk, well furnished with nice shops and pubs nearby. The 2.5 acre orchard/paddock was the highlight for us and our 13 dogs - so nice to be able to use this as well as our daily walks and ensure they had as good a holiday as we humans did. One of the very few holiday homes I've stayed in that I'd love to live in forever - was sad to leave and hope to be back.

Don't hesitate on booking this fabulous, quirky, well set out and thoughtful property.





Fab holiday

We booked to stay at the Carpenter Shop as the ‘parents’ of 3 dogs - 1 being very reactive - as the property comes with a private 2 and a half acre paddock. This did prove to be a winner! Internally, the house has an upstairs and a downstairs sitting room, which is great if your nervous dogs don’t like spiral staircases or lifts (as ours didn’t!). There were a lot of thoughtful touches - especially the very well equipped kitchen with salt & pepper grinder, cling film, foil, etc … it’s the little things! The gorgeous Winterton-on-Sea is close by for dog walks (thankfully the seals were in the sea and not on the beach!) and the local pub - The Kings Arms - was fantastic (more restaurant than pub). Overall, a great stay.

Lovely accommodation set in a lovely location, attention to detail was amazing and was especially nice to arrive and see the house decorated for Christmas. We took our five sausage dogs with us and they loved long walks around the enclosed field behind the property.
We will be booking again for next year.



Fantastic, highly recommended. So much thought and care has gone into the Carpenters Shop

What a wonderful place The Carpenters Shop is. Very impressed with the thought and care that has gone into making this a home from home, right down to the lovely dog beds which are on both floors. The quality of everything is fabulous with so much thought having gone into it. My 90 year old Mum loved the lift and she was totally in awe of the how lovely and sympathetically The Carpenter Shop has been maintained. Every time she looked around she saw something she’d not seen before. Loved loved loved having access to the field, so handy for my bouncy 18 month old Cocker Spaniel! Also the location is really perfect for beaches etc. the Kings Arms is nice and handy too!
Thank you for a lovely memorable week, we’ll be back! Deb, Mari, Jo and Kya (the spaniel)



Perfect dog friendly holiday cottage.

This cottage is beautiful. It is quirky with lots of historical memorabilia within it. It is wonderfully equipped and having the exclusive paddock was the icing on the cake.

We had a lovely week, the weather was kind enough for us to get out and about. The house is lovely and comfortable. We had issues with the hot water the first night but they were sorted immediately. The only thing I would say is there was not enough cutlery to go round

Thank you for your lovely review and we’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay and that we were able to resolve the hot water issue straight away. There is a cutlery drawer within the drawer below the hob, and we will put additional instructions on how to find that in the arrival details to make that easier. Hope to be able to host you again and thank you for staying with Winterton Cottages.

Perfect getaway home!

We enjoyed such a wonderful stay at the Carpenter’s Shop. The house was clean, tidy and had so many little touches that made it even better. The garden and adjoining paddock was a wonderful bonus for our dog who cannot be let off the lead normally. The guidance on things to do, places to eat, etc was incredibly useful and some of the best advice relating to a holiday home we’ve ever received. I seriously could not fault it and we hope to stay again in the future!



Beautiful holiday home!

We had a fantastic 4 night stay at The Carpenters shop. Such a relaxing week with my partner, our 2 children (age 16 and 18) and our Labrador Buddy. The house is fully equipped with everything you will need, the beds are comfortable and the underfloor heating downstairs is lovely!. My favourite thing about this house though has to be the outside space …. It was so nice for my dog to be able to run free on the field at the back of the house … it’s fully secure and just for you own use, Buddy loved it!! He also loved the different options of dog beds around the house … he was spoilt for choice. This house has been well thought out and the design and features around the house are fantastic. I would definitely stay here again in the future.
