Wonderfully relaxing dog friendly holiday at Snowdrop Cottage, Winterton-on-Sea. Not having to worry about if the dogs go on the sofa, up the stairs or escape from the back garden means that you are already 100% more relaxed than other holidays. Really good communication from the owner meant that we knew exactly where everything was in the property, how to get to the beach, and dog friendly places in the village. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a real dog friendly holiday.

Hi Sheena,

Thank you so much for this wonderful 5-star review! I am absolutely over the moon to hear that you had such a relaxing holiday at Snowdrop Cottage.

Your comment about being '100% more relaxed' truly made my day, because that is exactly why Pack Holidays exists! There is nothing worse than spending your break stressing over sofas, stairs, or checking the garden fence every two minutes. When the dogs are trusted and secure, the humans can finally take a deep breath and unwind.

Winterton-on-Sea is such a special village, and I'm so glad my notes helped you find your way around the best doggy spots and down to that gorgeous beach easily. Thank you for such a glowing recommendation—it means the world to me. We would love to welcome you and your clever pack back on a Pack Holiday whenever you need another dose of pure relaxation!

Best wishes,

Hi Tracy,

Oh, wow—thank you so much for such a beautiful, glowing review! Reading your words has completely made my day.

My absolute goal is to make sure traveling with your pack is as smooth, stress-free, and joyful as possible right from the very first message. I absolutely love helping our guests find the perfect places to explore, the best dog-friendly spots to eat, and those all-important secure spaces where the dogs can just be dogs. Little Bent is such a wonderful property, and I'm so thrilled it provided the perfect base for your holiday!

Thank you for being such a fantastic part of the Pack Holidays family, Tracy. We would love to welcome you and your pack back for another adventure whenever you're ready!

Best wishes,

Hi Anna,

Thank you so much for the lovely 5-star review! I am absolutely delighted to hear that you and your pack had such a wonderful week at Heath Cottage.

We work really hard to make sure our cottages are just as clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured when you arrive, so hearing that it lived up to expectations means the world to me. I'm so glad that your three pooches had plenty of room to stretch their legs in that lovely big garden—peace of mind for the humans and freedom for the dogs is what it's all about!

It really is a beautiful area, and being just a short 5-minute drive from the beach is the perfect setup for a relaxing getaway. Thank you for choosing Pack Holidays, Anna—we would love to welcome you and your three pups back for another stay whenever you're ready for more coastal adventures!

Best wishes,

We loved our stay at Herring House at Winterton on sea. We managed to dodge the rain, on our beach and circular walks. Ruby and Nym loved to climb and explore the large rocks on the beach and then happily chilling whilst we finished off with a coffee by the beach.

Hi Julie,

Thank you so much for the lovely 5-star review! I am absolutely delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Herring House.

Dodging the rain showers is all part of the Norfolk adventure, isn't it? I'm so glad the weather co-operated enough for you to get those beautiful beach and circular walks in. It sounds like Ruby and Nym had an absolute ball playing explorer on the rocks! There is nothing better than watching them tire themselves out, followed by that well-deserved, peaceful coffee by the sea while they happily chill out beside you.

Thank you for choosing Pack Holidays for your getaway. We would love to welcome you, Ruby, and Nym back for more coastal adventures whenever you need another break!

Best wishes,

Stayed at Berrichon Holidays in France for 7 nights. I cannot recommend enough. Sarah and Steven were really helpful before arriving with clear instructions as well as local recommendations and even local vets. This was the first time Ive taken my 4 collies abroad and Ive booked for 2 weeks next year. The gite was perfect. 3 bedrooms, stone floors and a large and secure garden, all fencing was 6ft apart from the gate but Sarah asked if any were jumpers and offered to put an extra over the top of the gate if needed. There was a paddling pool (and a pool for me)provided for the dogs, as well as covers for the furniture, a jar of dog treats and poo bags left. There was a stair gate if you didn't want your dogs upstairs and fans (chose the hottest week). Walks from the doorstep into the country and lots of local recommendations provided! My dogs will be coming away with me every year following this great find!

Awwwh so so glad you had a lovely time at Les Rossignols. And fabulous to hear you are a Border Collie owner (me too, though I only have 3 - I have some work to do there to get another :D ) Thanks so much for recommending Sarah and Berrichon and so glad you had a lovely time

We have just returned from a lovely week at Herring house Winterton on sea. The upside down living made it so spacious and very relaxing. The house was very comfortable with all we needed for our stay. It's well equipped for the dogs as well with raised bowls and a basket of dog towels by the door, even plenty of throws for the beds and sofa. This was our second visit to Winterton and really love the village, beach and places to eat. Spencer our Labrador especially likes the Seal view café as he gets given sausage by the lovely staff. He remembered where he was straight away and was off across the dunes and heading to the beach. We have had such positive experiences on both our pack holidays and will be booking again.

Hi Lynn,

Thank you so much for the lovely 5-star review! I am absolutely thrilled that you had another wonderful, relaxing week.

That upside-down layout at Herring House really does make the living space feel so special and airy, doesn't it? It's the perfect spot to unwind. I’m also so glad that Spencer approved of all the doggy touches—we try to make sure everything from the raised bowls to the towels and throws are ready to go, so the pups can feel right at home from the second they walk through the door.

Speaking of Spencer... I absolutely love that he remembered his way across the dunes! Labradors have a built-in compass for sausages and fun, don't they? 🌭 Boundary-free beach runs and cafe treats—he truly had the ultimate holiday!

Thank you for choosing Pack Holidays for your getaways. We can’t wait to welcome you, your family, and the clever Spencer back for trip number three whenever you're ready!

Best wishes,

Hi Diane,

Thank you so much for the fantastic 10 out of 10 recommendation! I am absolutely over the moon to hear that you and your pack had such a brilliant, relaxing week at Primrose Cottage at the end of May.

There is nothing quite like that gate leading straight out onto the Winterton dunes, is there? It is pure doggy heaven! Knowing that all four of your pooches had the time of their lives running on that beautiful, year-round dog-friendly beach makes my heart so happy. That effortless transition from garden to sand is exactly what makes Primrose so special.

Thank you for such a glowing review, Diane. We already can't wait to welcome you all back for your next stay very soon!

Best wishes,

Newport Sands and Poppit Sands good for off lead dog walks. Picton Castle has extensive woodland and formal gardens with dogs on leads welcome. Good cafes at Poppit and Picton and enjoyed a nice meal at The Ship Inn in Trefin

Hi Sarah,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a fantastic itinerary from your holiday at Beudy Gwyn!

You have truly mapped out the perfect dog-friendly getaway. Newport Sands and Poppit Sands are absolutely spectacular for letting the pooches run free off-lead, and it sounds like you made some wonderful memories exploring the beautiful woodlands at Picton Castle too.

Finding those great local pitstops like the beachside cafes and a delicious meal at The Ship Inn in Trefin is always the icing on the cake. Thank you for sharing these top tips with the rest of the Pack Holidays family and looking forward to seeing you in Norfolk soon too

Best wishes,

We’ve just returned from another wonderful holiday with Pack Holidays and once again everything was exactly what we hoped for. One of the things we love most is how genuinely dog friendly their properties are - it’s clear that real thought and care goes into making sure dogs (and their humans!) can properly relax. Travelling with our rescued greyhound Bella means having a secure outdoor space is really important, and being able to let her safely enjoy the garden while we switched off and enjoyed our break made such a difference. Holidays feel much more relaxing when you’re not constantly worrying about whether the fence is high enough! The property itself was comfortable, welcoming and had everything we needed – a real home-from-home. We enjoyed lovely walks on the beach, visited the beautiful Felbrigg Hall and had our usual walk at Bacton Woods - all making for a perfect, relaxing break. Pack Holidays always seem to get the balance right between practicality and comfort, which is why we keep coming back. Another lovely, stress-free holiday with lots of happy memories made. Thank you as always and I’m sure we’ll be booking again!

Just back from a break in Sheringham, not my first pack holiday and definitely won’t be our last. Dogs are positively welcomed rather than tolerated which makes for a super relaxing experience. The little extras - dog treats, holiday tags and a few biscuits and some milk for us - were also lovely. Gail is a very helpful lady so if you have reactive dogs or any other specifics she can advise on the best cottages. I have stayed in 3 or 4 places now and they are all wonderful. Pack holidays are the best!

Hi Janine,

Thank you so much for this absolutely beautiful 5-star review! It is such a joy to welcome you back, and knowing you’ve stayed in three or four of our properties now truly means the world to me.

You hit the nail right on the head—my absolute mission is to make sure our four-legged guests are genuinely welcomed as part of the family, never just 'tolerated.' When the dogs can relax, the humans can finally relax too! I’m so glad the little extras like the holiday tags and treats made your stay at Chapel Barn feel special.

Thank you for the lovely shout-out about helping with reactive dog recommendations, too. Matching the right pack to the right cottage is my favorite part of the job!

Thank you for being such a wonderful, loyal part of the Pack Holidays family. We can't wait to see which cottage you choose for your next adventure!

Best wishes,

Second stay at Saretta in Sea Palling, but think 4th or 5th time with Pack Holidays. Saretta is a lovely dog friendly bungalow with great secure garden. Fantastic sandy beach, cafe , chippy and village shop just 5 mins walk. Lots of other great dog friendly attractions are a short drive away.
Reply from Pack Holidays 2026.05.19
Hi David,

Wow, thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! It is always such a pleasure to welcome you back, and I am incredibly grateful for your continued support across your four or five stays with Pack Holidays. You are a true VIP!

Saretta really is in such a fantastic spot, isn't it? Being able to leave the car keys behind and just stroll down to that beautiful beach, the village shop, or pop into the chippy within five minutes is what a relaxing holiday is all about. I'm so glad the secure garden gave you total peace of mind once again.

Thank you for being such a loyal member of our family, David. We can't wait to help you book trip number six whenever you and your pack are ready for more sea air!

Best wishes,

Our second stay at The Old Piggery which is a quiet & peaceful one level property down a country lane near Walcott/Bacton ideal for reactive dogs with walks directly from the barn. Several beaches are a short drive away Happisburgh, Walcott & Bacton all with vast empty sandy beaches & if you prefer wooded walks Bacton Woods are near. Lovely owners who are nearby if needed. EV charger available which is something we now require as we’ve gone “electric “

Hi Bev,

Thank you so much for the lovely 5-star review! It was an absolute pleasure to welcome you back to The Old Piggery for your second stay.

I'm so glad that the quiet lanes and direct walks worked out so well for your pack—it really is a little haven of peace and quiet for reactive dogs, isn't it? And you managed to hit all the best spots! Those vast sands at Walcott and Happisburgh, combined with the shade of Bacton Woods, make for the ultimate holiday itinerary.

I'm also thrilled to hear that the EV charger made your trip seamless now that you've 'gone electric.' We want to make sure both the dogs and the cars can recharge their batteries properly here!

Thank you again, Bev. We'd love to welcome you, your vehicle, and your beautiful pooches back for visit number three whenever you're ready!

Best wishes,

Such a lovely place to stay. So close to the dog friendly beach. Everything thing you could want in the cottage for you and your dogs. As a raw feeder the addition of the freezer was a great asset. Easy to get around and lots of wonderful places to visit from this base

Hi Sharon,

Thank you so so much for the lovely 5-star review! I’m delighted you enjoyed your break at Nautilus.

I am so pleased you found the extra freezer useful! As a fellow dog owner, I know exactly how much space those raw meals can take up, so we wanted to make sure that staying at Nautilus was as seamless as being at home for your pack.

It sounds like you made the most of being so close to the beach and exploring the local area—Eccles really is such a fantastic base for adventures. We would love to welcome you and your pooches back for another stay whenever you need some more sea air!

Huge best wishes,

We had a lovely , relaxing week at Primrose Cottage . The garden was perfectly safe for our four dogs and the Beautiful Sand Dunes were literally a few seconds away . The house was very well equipped , clean and felt like a home from home . This was our first holiday with Pack Holidays but we will definitely book again

Hi Vince,

Welcome to the Pack Holidays family! I am so thrilled that your first stay with us at Primrose Cottage was such a success.

There is nothing quite like having those Winterton dunes just a few seconds away, is there? It’s basically a doggy paradise! I’m especially pleased to hear that all four of your pooches felt safe in the garden—I know that peace of mind is what makes it a real holiday for the humans, too.

It sounds like you made yourselves right at home, and we would absolutely love to have you and your pack back again whenever you need another dose of sea air.

Hi Gillian,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review!

I’m thrilled to hear that the Bamburgh Bolthole provided everything you needed for a relaxing break. We put a lot of thought into making sure our cottages are a 'bolthole' in every sense of the word—somewhere you can feel completely safe and at ease with your dogs.

Knowing your pooches were happy makes us happy! We’d love to welcome you and your pack back on a Pack Holiday again in the future.

Huge best wishes,

This was our 5th stay at Saretta & I'm sure it won't be our last. It must be one of the most dog friendly places we have ever stayed - there are dog buggies, toys, beds, towel coats & even a ramp to help your dogs onto the sofas!! The bungalow is very comfortable & spacious & has a lovely enclosed garden. A 5 minute walk and you're on the beach. What more do you want.
Reply from Pack Holidays 2026.05.05
Hi Karen,

Wow—five stays at Saretta! Thank you so much for being such a wonderful, loyal member of the Pack Holidays family.

I’m so glad you mentioned the sofa ramp and the towel coats! We know those little details make a huge difference, especially when you’re heading back from the beach (which is just a bit too tempting at only 5 minutes away!). It’s our mission to make sure the humans are comfortable, but we all know the dogs are the real bosses on holiday.

We can’t wait to welcome you back for visit number six whenever you're ready for more sea air and sandy paws.

Best wishes,

Gail made our first holiday with our dogs an absolute joy! I couldn’t recommend her highly enough and we are already looking forward to our next holiday! We also had massages with Jo and she was fantastic! Totally put us at ease and made us feel so much better, she was wonderful and the cherry on top of perfect holiday
Reply from Pack Holidays 2026.04.21
Grace, this is such a lovely review—thank you so much 💛

I’m absolutely delighted your first holiday with your dogs was such a joy… that’s exactly how it should be, not stressful or full of “what ifs”! It means a lot that you trusted us with that first experience.

Oak Cottage is a bit special for that, isn’t it? Plenty of space for the dogs to just be dogs, and for you to properly relax at the same time.

And I love that you made the most of having Jo in—she really is fantastic at what she does. A massage on holiday always feels like a bit of a luxury, but I agree… it does end up being the cherry on top!

Thank you again for your kind words—it genuinely means so much. I’ll look forward to helping you plan the next one (no pressure… but I think the dogs will expect it now 😉)

We just had a lovely stay at No4 Primrose Cottage at Winterton on Sea. We made a late booking for the Easter weekend as we had decided we needed to get away for a break after having to say goodbye to our eldest Beagle on Mother's Day. With our other Two Beagles Lilly & Snoopy we enjoyed some good walks along the Dunes & on the beach, we have previously stayed in Winterton before but further out but this time we had a great location just a few minutes walk to the Dunes, we had ample time to really explore Winterton. Amenities close by inc the Fish & Chip shop, Premier store which was handy & Sea view coffee shop located at the beach car park there is also Poppy's Cafe next door to the chippie & local pub The fishermans return which is a dog friendly pub just a few minutes walk away. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean with plenty of room in the garden for our two to run about in. Plenty of storage space in the Kitchen & bedroom, living/ dining area was spacious inc throws for the sofa's & poo bags, harnesses, tags & treats for our 4 legged friends. Blessed with the great weather at the time of our stay we made the most of the walks on our doorstep & didn't really need to go anywhere else further up the coast for the 4 nights we was there, Gail was very helpful with any queries we had about our stay, we wouldn't hesitate to use Pack Holidays again plus dogs stay for free which is a big bonus.

Hi Paul,

Wow, thank you so much for this absolutely beautiful and detailed 5-star review!

It was a real privilege to help you arrange your late booking for Primrose Cottage over the Easter weekend. We were all so incredibly sorry to hear about your eldest Beagle and that you had to say goodbye on Mother’s Day. 💔 It sounds like this coastal break was exactly what you, Lily, and Snoopy needed to exhale and recharge.

I am absolutely delighted that you made the most of the location! Being just a few minutes’ stroll from the dunes means you truly have Winterton’s best walks right on your doorstep. 🌊🌾

Knowing that the cottage was spotlessly clean for your arrival is a top priority for us, so I’ll be sure to pass your lovely compliments on to the wonderful housekeeping team! ✨

Thank you again for choosing Pack Holidays and for recommending Primrose Cottage so highly. We would love to welcome you all back on a Pack Holiday for another restrictions-free escape whenever you are ready!

Warmest wishes,
