Step inside The Cranny and you've found your perfect holiday cottage. This pretty property is all on one level, and has a fantastic location in the centre of the village - yet only five minutes walk from the beach. The cottage has been completely renovated and refurbished throughout by the current owners, to provide a high standard of accommodation.
The front door opens into the entrance hall, which leads through to a living room on the right with comfortable sofas and a smart TV. The round dining table has seating for four people, or you can dine al fresco in the wonderful private garden. The cottage has an unusual layout, with one bathroom leading off the living room which has a shower over the bath, WC and a washbasin. The well equipped kitchen is also accessed from the living room, and has an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, washing machine, slimline dishwasher and microwave.
In the other half of this quirky double roundhouse you'll find two beautifully furnished bedrooms. The master bedroom has a comfortable king size bed and smart TV, as well as an en-suite wet room with a shower, WC and a washbasin. Bedroom two has standard size double bed and TV.
Outside The Cranny is set within it's own cottage style garden - a private oasis in the middle of the village. There's off road parking for 1-2 cars. Up to a maximum of two dogs are welcome at The Cranny. Dogs are welcome throughout living areas of the property, but please keep them off the furniture.

The Cranny is a wonderful, most unusual cottage with a beautiful wrap around garden. The location is great, with easy access to the pub which serves a great choice of delicious food. Everything in the cottage is to a very high standard. A fabulous welcome pack was provided!
Winterton is a lovely village, with some beautiful properties, easy access to the beach and lovely walks along and behind the dunes.

Recent stay at The Cranny
We had seen this cottage on previous visits to Winterton on Sea and this time stayed here. All I can say is ‘Wow’ it lived up to and exceeded expectations. Everything about this cottage was perfect to the point I could live in it. The garden is beautiful and secure.
We have booked again before leaving, I think that says it all.

An excellent stay
Wonderful stay and just perfect for a weekend away by the sea.
We struggled a little with the heating so it was either very warm or very cold other than that it was the perfect weekend with lovely outside space to enjoy the sun!
Definitely would stay again :)

Charming cottage; great location
Great holiday property. Two comments: the sunny garden would benefit from having available the umbrella for the garden table and a scrubbing brush to use to clean the bird excrement from the garden furniture; the springs in the sofas are weak.

A relaxing weekend away
We had a fantastic relaxing weekend at The Cranny. Just the two of us and the dogs. Literally a stone's throw from the pub, beach, fish and chip shop, convenience store and two excellent cafes, one of which overlooked the beach. The beach and dunes go on for miles, so there was no need to go anywhere else the whole weekend as everything was close at hand. Communication was excellent, both from Winterton Cottages and the host, with welcome texts containing all the information we needed in advance. All in all a fantastic cottage (even our escape artist dog couldn't find a way out!), very clean and welcoming. Would definitely recommend to anyone seeking a weekend away where you can just leave the car parked up until you need to go home - reluctantly!

Super location
The Cranny is a short walk from the village shops and the chippy. The Fire Assembly Point can be considered as the Fisherman's Return! It is in an ideal spot and, after so many return visits, feels like home.

Wonderful cottage in a wonderful location
What a wonderful cottage in a truly magnificent location. On arrival, the cottage is 'chocolate box' perfection. In a quiet location yet there is everything you need in the village. A gentle 5 minute stroll down to the beach means you have everything you could possibly need on your doorstep.
The Cranny was clean and well maintained with a beautiful garden surrounding the cottage.
The welcome package was a lovely surprise and went down a treat.
We didn't want to leave and wished we had booked 2 weeks.
We will definitely be returning and are already looking at dates for next year.
