  Had an amazing break away at the chalet 150 at winterton on sea (couple with a dog).

  Comfy bed and quiet and peaceful location with spacious lounge area/dining. Loved the patio doors on front and back for dining in the morning sun at breakfast time or having a drink or two on the back in the evening sun. Everything you need is in the chalet. 10 min coastal walk to beach and 10 minute walk to local village. Local village of Winterton really lovely and calm and chilled out but with enough going in if you want something eg shop, chip shop, pub and tea room. Chip shop was so yummy but worth noting it’s cooked fresh to order so you may have a little wait but you can have a nice walk round the church or gardens or walk to the beach and back to build up an appetite. Poppy’s tearoom lovely garden round the back highly recommend for breakfast/brunch or tea and cake, also dog friendly. Fisherman’s arms pub lovely too beer garden and really modern inside nice food and dog friendly. 20 min walk from chalet to local town of Hemsby recommend a trip to the Lacton arms pub nice food and nice beer garden and dog friendly. Hemsby worth a visit for doughnuts and ice creams or pizza from pizza&kebab at the top of town also there’s a nice beach boutique store sells lovely clothes but definitely preferred winterton on sea beach and chalet site as it’s very beautiful, peaceful, idyllic and best of all very relaxing. Also the local residents here at the chalets are super friendly and welcoming. Our dog made lots of dog friends too! He loved it, he was so cosy in the chalet as well. He especially loved the beach and coastal walks and playing in the sun and the long stretch of grass lawn with sea views near the chalets but the beach definitely his favourite just amazing winterton on sea beach as it stretches out for miles and miles and it’s so peaceful. The sand is lovely and soft and warm and the sea has beautiful waves, the dunes are great too, we were lucky enough to see a seal in the sea one of the days too. We enjoyed a 10 min drive from the chalet to a local village called Horsey, had an amazing breakfast at Poppylands tea room world war 2 inspired amazing place really gorgeous and lovely food and cake and cute gift shop. Also we were so thrilled to walk to horsey gap beach and got to see loads of seals swimming in the sea there! Even a little pup on the shore! Well worth a visit, only a short walk from tea rooms. 7 mile drive to Great Yarmouth from the chalet - perfect for families who want a Blackpool style/type holiday or an enjoyable place for people like us who just wanted a nice mooch round the shops and a walk and food near the beach. Great Yarmouth also has a big Tesco if you need supplies, we got some bbq food one night and had it on winterton beach which was awesome! ‘The lion pub’ on the way to Horsey is well worth a visit as well lovely meal and really lovely couple who own it, made a real fuss of our dog, dog biscuits and everything. I cannot recommend this place enough, it’s just perfect! The location is brilliant, you don’t need to use your car at all really unless you want to visit other places, but the chalet is perfect for what you need and the beach and everything is just gorgeous! Worth noting that the chalet isn’t detached but still a quiet location not overlooked from the front but is more communal on the back. I would highly recommend this hidden gem! Thank you for an amazing stay Jill. Kira & Jack & Henry the dog x

  The property could do with some modernization and polish.

  There were numerous cracks in the plaster, including a large one in the bedroom ceiling. The repair which had been done on previous damage to the bedroom ceiling also looked poorly finished. The paintwork around the property was also poorly finished in places, including paint on door handles and light fixtures. The extractor fan in the bathroom was also pretty well clogged with dirt and dust, and rust was visible around the edges of the mirror too. These may seem like minor issues, but combined it makes the property feel tired and old. The garden could have done with some grass in it too, as opposed to the stone chippings, I understand this is a personal preference, however, with the property welcoming dogs, grass is certainly more welcome to them. While I appreciate nothing can be done about the parking situation, it should be made very clear in the listing about the angle of the slope. With an older car like ours, we struggled to safely park, putting stress on the handbrake and running high on the clutch. We had to put bricks under the wheels, to stop the car slipping down the slope. This could be dangerous if people are trying to unload the car and the vehicle starts to slip. There was not much storage space for our food, so we left it out on the countertop, however, should the property be renovated I'm sure this is something that could be addressed. The house is in a really good location, with a great outlook too.

  Sadly the house was dirty, dusty, dated, basic & overall unloved.

  Unsure when the property was last cleaned as the dust was thick, the number of bugs in the bathroom light was disgusting & the spider webs in every corner of ever room looked well established. The cleaner had left a cloth on one of the beds which was well dry so guessing it’s been a while. Also the bedsheets were dirty! The house is tired, clearly the owners don’t care about it & have done nothing to it since they came into ownership of it. It is dated & basic. The TV doesn’t work, there is no DVD player as advertised and no sound system. The properties either side of 2 Rockmount are stunning, which makes this house look even worse! The access via stairs isn’t bad, but the over grown bushes which hang over the steps at the back & the front of the property are! This house hasn’t seen TLC for a long time. I reported the TV not working on our 1st day & my concerns regarding the property’s hygiene etc, no one got back to me! Overall, I would not recommend this property to anyone!

  The entrance to the property was around the back which I knew but it was behind the Victoria Hotel and wasn't the nicest of environment's for accessing a property. The property information did not say that there was just one window in the living room with opaque glass, as outside the window there was the outside area of another property. There was one little window you could open but basically it was quite dark and smelt quite 'stale' in there. Unfortunately my daughter had wanted to do her revision in that room for her exams after half term, but it was so dark and unleasant that she couldn't study there. In the end we came home early so she could do some revision at home. I do think that this type of arrangement should have been explicit in the property information as it was quite unpleasant and not expected. I feel therfore that it was not good value for money having not spent a whole week there because of the low quality of that downstairs accommodation.

  The property was very clean and had all we needed except that the double bed was only 4 foot wide.

  There are four bunk beds in the second bedroom, two of the bunk beds are adult size and two smaller. We are retired and my husband was unable to get himself low enough for a bottom bunk bed and unable to climb on to a top one. I was able to get into the bottom bunk bed but normally I sleep on three pillows which I was unable to do on the bunk bed because there was not enough head room. Otherwise the property was suitable for all age groups. I suggest a re think of sleeping arrangements. The site is well maintained, quiet and everything one could want and the owners have everything else well thought out. We would return if a wider double bed was included. Thank you for letting us stay at 150.
