"Excellent accommodation"
-
"The house was everything we wanted it to be, there was space, we had views and facilities that suited us all."
We celebrated our Golden Wedding Anniversary with Friends but this house would suit most peoples needs be it spending time with family or friends. We also had the added advantage of good weather! All in all a lovely weekend break.
-
"Great house in a great location."
The house had everything you need for a relaxing break and is perfect for access to the dunes and beach with the village close by with fish and chips and a pub. Perfect place to get away from it all.
-
"What an amazing house very roomy lots of space with a fantastic view form the conservatory and many other rooms and was the perfect place to stay everything was thought of to make the stay perfect From the little welcome pack to board games in the lounge to plenty of plates cups glasses."
Cleaning items and dish washer tablets were all provided and the little extra touches that made this place stand out The location is amazing a short walk to the beach local pub fish and chip shop and various other places of interest garden was immaculate and very private Would highly recommend this accommodation for a relaxing break away

"Drifters is just wonderful."
Such a relaxing house, with immense sea views from the garden and the Conservatory. The hot tub was a bonus, and added to the holiday as a little luxury every evening to relax and watch the seascape and the numerous ships going past. Bedrooms and bathrooms a plenty and so much space for everyone. We would highly recommend this property for anyone wanting a quiet relaxing break. Winterton-o-sea is such a pretty village with a good post office, shop and pub.

"Lovely house ,fantastic location very comfortable could not fault"

"We had an amazing time at Drifters."
The house was beautiful, immaculately clean and very well equipped. It is very spacious, for a house that sleeps 8, this was perfect as we did not feel like we were on top of each other. Bedrooms were lovely and had really comfy beds. Excellent communication from the owner, I had a query prior to arriving and he responded very quickly and was really helpful. Finally, the location was AMAZING! The view from the house was unreal and no picture will do it justice. A walk down some steps and you are on a huge stretch of dunes, and beach access. We were so lucky that we got to see 100’s of seals and pups, an amazing experience. The local pub is around 10 minute walk, the chippy just a little bit longer and a co-op 5 minute drive away. Took around 25 mins to drive to Great Yarmouth. Overall, an excellent stay that we would absolutely consider booking again.

"Nice house however would not rebook , as price I feel for next year is way over the top to be honest"
-
"We had a lovely relaxing week celebrating my husband's 60th Birthday."
My two sons, their partners and our baby grandaughter all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The two dogs loved the walks. We will really miss the tranquility and views. Will definitely be back. Just Amazing!
-
"Drifters has an outstanding position with a great sea view and is a beautifully appointed and equipped house."
We could have spent the entire time there without going out, enjoying the views from the garden and conservatory as well as the hot tub. We expect to be back soon.
-
"We loved this property - so much so that we are about to book it again for next year."
There was one minor thing missing when we arrived, but Tom the owner responded immediately to my WhatsApp query and arranged an Amazon Prime drop-off the next day. Full marks!
-
"Great for 3 related families covering 3 generations."
Great location for access to beach, dog walks and strolls to the pretty village of Winterton. The property has been thoughtfully appointed, has a wow factor hallway, and really works well for large groups. Many thanks

"We had a fantastic stay at Drifters."
The house was absolutely beautiful, lots of attention to detail, the decor was gorgeous. It was clean and comfortable. The view was amazing too. We would highly recommend and would indeed go back ourselves too.
-
"We loved our stay at Drifters."
The house is stunning, the sea view from the garden is stunning. The house is very spacious, ideal for a family holiday. Loved sitting in the conservatory, eating around the table, looking at the sea. The area is nice and peaceful, would love to come back here. The beach is just over the dunes at the back of the property, the beach is quiet, you can walk either way. We loved everything about our stay.
-

"A superb property in a fantastic location we had a great family holiday in the perfect holiday home."
We will return in the future and miss the views and walks along the beach.
-
"Fantastic property, the accommodation was amazing and the views and beach/sand dunes access was amazing."
We would love to come back and my pet dog Ringo the beagle had the time of his life, he still misses Drifters every day.
-
"Enjoyable stay."
Great walks and views.Five star property.
-
"An excellent property in a fantastic location."
We would no hesitate to return
-
"The cottage was beautiful; lovely large rooms and immaculately clean."
Fantastic location with the dunes (an AONB) right outside the garden gate leading to the beautiful beach. We went to see the seals at Horsey Gap and hired a boat for the day on the Broads. It's just a short trip to Great Yarmouth too. We would definitely go back.
-
"The only reason I didn't give big smile on 1 of the ratings was because of the steep steps going down to the sand dunes."
It was only because I had read previous reviews after we had booked it that I realised but the pictures and description were a bit misleading. It wasn't much of an issue for myself and my dog but think it would be only fair to let people know before they book. Anyway apart from that the house was amazing, couldn't fault the cleanliness and would definitely like to return again one day. The beach was magnificent and it was so lovely to see the seals
-
"We had a wonderful stay at Drifters, we were lucky with the weather."
Being able to walk the dogs on to the dunes from the garden was fantastic. The house was very comfortable and we had a very relaxing week.
-
"Drifters proved to be a very comfortable holiday stay."
Being within easy travel of a variety of venues meant there was no rush to leave in the morning. Beach lovers had a maximum of 10mins to reach the sand and sea, with direct access from the garden. The property and amenities were clean and well maintained. As a group of 4 we had plenty of room!!
-
"What a beautiful house in a beautiful setting, it was perfectly clean with welcome gifts on our arrival, such a nice touch."
We LOVED our stay and would definitely recommend to family and friends. Being right on the beach as well as a hot tub was just perfect.
-
"Overall our stay was absolutely lovely."
One thing that we were disappointed with and only because I took my elderly parents with me was that there were step stairs down to the beach area, this made it impossible for them to reach the beach from the house. The pictures of the back garden looking out to sea are very mis-leading. May be some tv’s in the bedrooms would be nice to.
-
""Wow!" everyone in our group exclaimed when they arrived at Drifters, and the house matched up to our first impressions: it was spacious, comfortable, clean and well equipped."
The close proximity of the property to the sand dunes and beautiful beach made the location very special. We were all constantly absorbed by the sea views - especially from the swing seat at the end of the garden - and it was so easy just to pop out for a quick swim in the sea. Seeing a curious seal swimming alongside us was awesome. We would highly recommend Drifters, but do have just one qualification: there were several glass internal doors that we did not think were glazed with safety glass. The space makes the house a wonderful place for children to have a holiday, but we were concerned about the dangers of a small child running into one of the glass panes and having a serious accident. The owners were very helpful concerning a broken TV, so we feel sure that they would like to be made aware of this possible issue.
Thanks for the feedback, Ruth. It's great to hear you enjoyed your stay at Drifters. To avoid any confusion, all of the glass used in the glazed internal doors at Drifters is safety glass, and each pane is marked with the stamp "Unituff BS6206A", which means it complies with the relevant standard. I hope that reassures you. Thanks again. Property Owner
