About this property
Dog-Friendly Home Close to a Sandy Beach
Sanderlings is a bright and spacious four bedroom detached house in a central spot in the charming seaside village of Winterton-on-Sea. With the beach, pub, shop and tea rooms all just a short walk away, it's a fantastic base for a relaxing coastal stay. Downstairs there is a large open-plan living and dining area with comfortable seating, a TV with Amazon Firestick, and a generous dining table for family meals. The adjoining kitchen is well equipped with an electric cooker and hob, microwave, integrated fridge/freezer and Nespresso coffee machine. A separate utility room houses the washing machine and wine fridge, and has doors leading to both the front garden and the rear decking area. There is also a convenient downstairs WC off the utility room. From the main living space, doors open into a large conservatory with plenty of seating — a lovely spot to relax with a book or enjoy views of the garden. Upstairs you'll find four comfortable bedrooms. The largest bedroom overlooks the back garden and has a king size bed, while bedroom two also looks out over the garden and has a standard double bed. Bedroom three is at the front of the house and has a 4' small double bed, meaning the maximum adult capacity for the house is six. The fourth bedroom has an elevated 3' single bunk bed. There are two bathrooms upstairs: one with a shower, WC and washbasin, and the other with a bath and shower over, WC and washbasin. Outside, the back garden is a great size with a decking area near the house for al fresco dining. There is also an outdoor table tennis table for guests to enjoy. At the front of the house you'll find a small enclosed garden area and off-road parking for one car, with additional unrestricted parking available on the road nearby. Three to four dogs are welcome to stay at Sanderlings free of charge. Dogs are very welcome throughout all of the downstairs living areas and may join you on the sofa - please bring your own throws. From the house it's an easy five minute stroll to the beach, which is dog friendly all year round. The Fisherman's Return pub is less than two minutes walk away, while the fish and chip shop, Poppy's tea rooms and post office, and the village shop are all within around 100 yards.
The apartment is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Fantastic stay
The house was excellent, the downstairs layout made it perfect for a family trip as it was basically open plan (perfect for our Christmas getaway). The finish in the house was also excellent with good quality furniture and equipment throughout. The pub is seconds away and the beach/dunes just a few minutes stroll. Highly recommend.

Group weekend.
We stayed in a group of 5 plus a dog, as in the description the third bedroom has a 4’ bed so we had plenty of room. Not sure if this would suit 2 adults.
The house has a downstairs layout that ideally suits holiday breaks & the access via the utility room allows you to bring dogs in & clean them up (we had rain). Very nice coffee machine.
Would look to book in warmer months as the conservatory & the garden are a big plus.

Ideal cottage
Perfect size cottage for us a family of 5 and one large dog. The kitchen had everything you need if you want to cook at home. The bathrooms were all really clean. Beds were comfy too. Ideal location to the little shop, pub, fish and chip shop and café. Then a 5 minute walk to the beach which is just ideal with children.

Our latest trip to Winterton
This was our 3rd stay at Sanderlings and as before we had a lovely time. Accommodation is spacious and comfortable. The location is perfect for access to the dunes and beach as well as all the local amenities. Secure garden is just perfect for our dog. A small negative is that the windows could do with a clean but maybe that's just me being picky.

Family Break
Stayed for a week as a family of 6 plus 3 dogs - location perfect - the cottage could do with a deep clean as it is very dirty in places and there is a very strange smell as soon as you go through the front door and although advertised with a dish washer there was not one there. Comfort of the two larger beds upstairs is not good could do with renewing and the furniture in the living area is very uncomfortable - if these things were improved I would have no hesitation in booking again but without the changes I would not as it was very uncomfortable.

July in Sanderlings
We love the location of Sanderlings in the centre of Winterton on Sea. The house has been thoughtfully decorated and has a mid century feel. I love the doors! The house is well laid out with space to be together and apart.
The garden has been updated since the photos were taken and is a great place to relax and let the dogs play.
The kitchen units are a bit tired, but the kitchen is well equipped. The coffee machine is a definite bonus.
We would definitely stay at Sanderlings again.

A lovely family weekend for 6 a s 2 dogs
Sanderlings is beautifully prepared and equipped. The decor was fresh and original. The kitchen and utility room are equipped with modern easy to use machines - though are missing a dishwasher. (But there is a wine fridge and washing machine). No problem; the grandchildren were keen and enjoyed helping with chores. The bedrooms are well decorated and in perfect order. The stairs - a bit steepish for the more senior member of the party - and the landing are well lit including with a modern and ingenious auto floor lighting system which ensured safety at all hours. The large conservatory adjoins the comfortable living area which is generously furnished with a multi-source wide screen TV and comfortable chairs and occasional table. Our 2 larg-ish labradors loved the secure garden and access - after inspection - to the conservatory where covered furniture provided comfort and a degree of style. In all, a lovely, peaceful, people- and dog-friendly weekend in.a modern, well-equipped family home. Thank you to all involved in enabling a great long weekend. Even the seals in the sea and on the beach seemed in good heart. We could not have asked for more (except perhaps a dishwasher!).
