Listening to the waves and seals on the beach from your private hot tub is a moment you'll never tire of at this charming Norfolk cottage set just 350 steps from Winterton On Sea's sandy dunes and shores. With good old-fashioned tea rooms, fish and chips, and ice creams aplenty on your doorstep, it's the nostalgic seaside village retreat you've been chasing. And this home delivers all the traditional coastal charms, too – alongside some impressive modern-day creature comforts. Underfloor heating and a high-quality electric wood burner (so realistic it even makes crackling noises) will keep things toasty in the winter, and outside, you'll find that covered hot tub with room for you all. Cooking is a joy in the made-for-action kitchen with a fancy bean-to-cup coffee maker for a morning brew and a welcome hamper crammed with goodies. Rustle up drinks with the cocktail shakers to savour outside on the sunny terrace as you fire up the Weber barbecue – it's a wonderful place to be on balmy evenings. And it's also a home designed for your pooch in mind too, with luxury beds to nestle down in and an outside shower to wash off sandy paws after a... runout at the beach. They really have thought of everything here, so you don't have to.

About Great Yarmouth
All the vintage attractions await in Great Yarmouth – the treasured Victorian seaside town perched along the Norfolk coast. There's castle-making along the Golden Mile of sands, neon lights at the arcades, and enough trotting horse carousels and amusement rides to fill a whole afternoon at the pier. While all this seaside entertainment may be an acquired taste, the kids (and big kids) will love it. And when it's time...
