Set in the picturesque village of Winterton-on-Sea, this dog-friendly cottage invites you and family, or groups of six to settle in and make the most of its light, airy rooms and suntrap patio garden. With the sand dunes of Winterton Beach just 300 metres away, this is the perfect spot for a seaside getaway, with coastal walks and traditional attractions all around.

Step inside, and you'll discover a fully equipped kitchen catering to all your culinary needs. The dining area offers the perfect setting to share meals with loved ones, while the inviting living space at the rear of the kitchen features tasteful furnishings and natural light streaming through the patio doors. For added convenience, there's a downstairs cloakroom too. On the first floor, the cottage unfolds into two beautifully appointed bedrooms—a lovely king-size room with two skylights for stargazing and a twin room, both thoughtfully decorated in coastal tones. These bedrooms share the contemporary family bathroom. Ascend to the top floor to discover a spacious bedroom with views of the dunes, offering an equally comfortable king-size bed and an elegant en-suite bathroom. The rear of the cottage boasts a well-maintained, fully enclosed garden—a delightful suntrap with a patio and garden furniture, providing the perfect spot to enjoy a drink or al fresco meals.

Immerse yourself in the welcoming atmosphere of this quaint village, complete with a traditional tearoom, a friendly local pub, and a convenient village shop. Indulge in the delectable seafood offerings at renowned coastal restaurants or savour a pint of locally brewed ale. A short stroll from the cottage brings you to the stunning Winterton Dunes less than 200 metres away, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Here, you and your furry friends can enjoy leisurely walks along the expansive sandy beach that stretches for miles. Nature enthusiasts can explore Horsey Gap (5 miles), known for its fascinating seal colony during the winter months.

This is a great cottage which is why I keep returning, with different family members and friends. It is truly dog friendly. The location is ideal, just a few minutes walk across the dunes to a beautiful and unspoilt beach and close to village amenities ( shop, pub, tearoom and superb fish and chip shop.) The cottage is comfortable and well equippRead moreed, always cosy and warm. Parking is provided. In the past if a problem has arisen, the owners have been friendly to deal with and dealt with the issue quickly. Hide

Spent another happy week at Swallowtail. We have stayed several times. Very clean and comfortable for two couples and two dogs. Space for 2 cars on a very quiet road. Location is in a quiet friendly village two minutes to dunes and beach or Poppys post office, fish and chips and the local store can provide most of your needs. The local pub is alsoRead more worth a visit. Hide

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home in Swallowtail Cottage. The welcome tray was a really lovely and appreciated touch. The location of the cottage was absolutely perfect for us, equal distance one way to the dunes and the other, a choice of fantastic eateries - Poppy's for breakfasts, Winterton Fish and Chips (probably the bRead moreest fish and chips I have had all year), and the Fisherman's Return pub. We really were spoiled for choice. The cottage is very comfortable, clean, and well appointed. Across the week, we had 5 adults and 2 dogs who all enjoyed the suntrap garden, the chance to spread out across the living room diner, and had ample private spaces on other floors. Winterton is such a lovely place - the dog friendly sandy beach is a big attraction for me (and the dogs), we saw seals and we swam, and got caught in typical English weather. A truly wonderful week spent at Swallowtail, thank you for letting out this holiday home. We will be back! Hide
