  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 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.

  Can say a big thank you to Jill for making our holiday go perfectly, the chalet ...

  Can say a big thank you to Jill for making our holiday go perfectly, the chalet is in such a beautiful and well kept area with loads of space for children and dog walkers to enjoy, the beautiful sandy beach is just a 5 minute walk away and we spent many a evening strolling along it, the chalet is compact but was big enough for us, a family of four and with the sofa bed provided more than enough sleeping space, the chalet was spotless and had everything we needed and the new bathroom is beautiful, if you want a peaceful and restful place to stay then look no further than chalet 150 it’s in such a beautiful place, we will be looking at booking again in the future

  Great stay, we knew what to expect because stayed on this site in 1970s Getting in touch with Sykes was awful.

  Just wanted to ask a simple question about bedding and because Sykes is geared to a loop the loop messaging system, just ended up taking our own quilts to be safe. Communication very very difficult. App didn't work. Stay was wonderful. There's a sign that says beach access is a mile, which is nonsense. Probably worth putting something of a note in chalet suggesting walking past 'no access' sign by 3 minutes to a lovely set of steps onto beach ( not a mile away as sign misleads ) Proximity to beach is wonderful ( about 5 minutes walk ) !!! Chalet is beautiful and well equipped would easily stay again

  It would have helped to have had a map of the site .

  We took a while to find 150 and it was difficult to get into the key safe as it is situated on the side of the post next to a pile of chairs under covers, and facing the sun! Then we had a problem with the key itself later on. However, the caretaker was very helpful and contacted a local locksmith who came and oiled it and next day fixed a new barrel in the lock (just ready for the next intake). Many of the drawers and under the bunk beds were filled with loads of stuff. Apart from that the chalet was clean and tidy and very comfortable beds. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay
