About the home
On arrival – There is parking for one car on the brick weave driveway right next to the house and a small shingle front garden area with driftwood features. From your car, you can either go through the side gate straight into the enclosed back garden or via the front door. There is also an electric EV charger on the driveway for use with prior consent.
Hallway – Dogs are welcome upstairs, but we’ve fitted a bespoke handmade dog/child gate that will stop even the tiniest chihuahuas from making it to the bed if you want it to yourself!
WC – Handy downstairs loo, toilet, basin, towel rail, and side window.
Kitchen – Lovely size, very light and airy with a view over the front courtyard, equipped with a full-sized fridge/freezer, induction hob, electric oven, washing machine/ tumble dryer, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, fancy bean-to-cup coffee maker, sandwich toaster and enough pots and pans, baking trays, cocktails shakers, utensils and crockery to open a small kitchenware shop!
Dining area – Part of an L-shaped Lounge/diner, this area has a rather unique zinc-topped dining table and leather chairs/bench with space for 4 to eat or play board games in comfort.
Lounge – The lounge area comprises a large & comfy chaise-end leather sofa and quirky copper coffee table (perfect for putting your feet up). There’s a 50″ Samsung Smart TV with an adjustable wall bracket that allows you to angle it to watch TV from the dining area. A Dimplex Sunningdale electric stove is considered the world’s most realistic electric wood burner. It even makes crackling noises! You can have a cosy fire without the heat in summer; in winter, you don’t need to go out in the rain for logs! It’s also much safer for children and dogs. Patio doors lead out to the garden and hot tub.
Family bathroom – Upstairs, this has a large modern bath with shower over and glass screen, a toilet and sink with storage unit, heated towel rail, and Velux window.
Master bedroom – Pocket sprung super kingsize bed (180 x 190cm), which can be converted into two singles, large wardrobe with plenty of hangers and drawer space below, front-facing window with blinds. Blanket ladder, extra throws/blankets, radio alarm with a phone charger, and quirky lobsterpot lights. Mirror, hairdryer, fan & suitcase stand.
Bedroom 2 – Double bed with Simba Hybrid pro mattress and luxury topper, built-in storage cupboard with hanging space and shelves, Velux windows with blackout blinds. Bedside lighting and shelf with a radio alarm. Tower fan and hairdryer, additional blankets/throws, and suitcase stand.
Garden – Fully enclosed garden with 6ft fencing, comfy patio furniture on the decking, Weber BBQ, outside lighting, fairy lights, and a pergola featuring solar-powered twinkly LED lights. There is also a foot shower for sandy paws.
Hot tub – Gorgeous bespoke enclosure with fairy lights, housing a very private 5-person hot tub. Hanging hooks for the Heidi Corner hooded robes and easy-to-reach shelves.

Booking notes:
If your dog is prone to lots of barking, Heidi Corner might not be the best fit. We’re tucked into a peaceful residential spot with close neighbours. The calm setting is ideal for humans who want to unwind and for dogs who enjoy a relaxed environment, but it’s not suitable for very vocal or reactive pups.
We’re happy to welcome up to three well-behaved dogs as standard. If you’d like to bring more, just let us know, we may be able to accommodate them if they’re small and quiet.
Winterton and the local area
Winterton-on-sea has a superb Fish & Chip shop, Poppies Tea room and cake shop, a well-stocked convenience store, Post Office, a great pub, and a very short walk from Heidi Corner.
To explore beyond the village, turn right up the beach, and Hemsby will give you all that a traditional English Seaside resort has to offer, with amusements, cafes, ice cream shops, an RNLI gift shop, and a decent pub. Turn left to experience a more tranquil nature walk, and you’ll find Horsey seal colony and the fabulous café at Waxham Barn. Further along the coast, you’ll reach Sea Palling and its Blue Flag beach, and if you follow your nose even further, you’ll get to Happisburgh and its iconic lighthouse.
Sometimes the only other mammals you’ll encounter are the coastline’s famous Grey Seals. Remember to look up for a glimpse of Norfolk’s wonderful birdlife, such as kestrels, skylarks, and little terns.
The bustling market town of Norwich is about 30 minutes away with its picturesque lanes, buzzy market, cultural displays and dining treats. And of course, there are our two famous Cathedrals and Norwich Castle, which the Normans built as a Palace over 900 years ago. It is now a museum and art gallery where children can discover more about East Anglia’s Queen Boudicca. The Museum of Norwich is packed full of exhibitions and interactive displays, or why not enjoy taking the hop-on-hop-off bus to see the city.
Not too far from Winterton is Great Yarmouth – a lively resort with an endless list of entertainment and places to eat – not forgetting the Pleasure Beach with its infamous Snail ride, a nine-acre amusement park, the Time and Tide Museum and the brilliant Hippodrome Circus – one of the last purpose-built circus buildings in the UK. Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens is a must if you love animals, and Pettitts Animal Adventure Park has something to do with children of all ages.
Also not far away is Lowestoft, a fabulous seaside town with much entertainment, including the wonderful Somerleyton Hall and Gardens, the East Anglia Transport Museum, Africa Alive, Sparrow’s Nest and Gardens, the Marina Theatre and various other museums. There’s also an arcade on Claremont Pier with over 35 rides. If you fancy something more energetic, why not test your nerves at Pleasurewood Hills Family Theme Park. Set on 50 acres, the theme park has rides up to 50mph as well as water-based ones. Smaller children will enjoy the Flying Elephant ride and Big Train – there are also sea lion and parrot shows.
Wroxham – the heart of the broads, is the perfect place for boat tours, day boat hire, shopping, or to visit Wroxham Barns – a family adventure park with rides, animals, shopping, dining, a maize maze, and so much more – it’s also where our office is based so why not call in and say hi!
