  • "We’ve hired many a self catering place over the years but you really couldn’t wish for a better bolt hole to spend a week…."

    or two! An amazing space for a group of 6-8 people, spacious enclosed garden, perfect if you own a dog and you also want a bit of privacy. Hot tub, garden chairs, loungers, large table to sit and eat at. Inside is a wonderful little rabbit warren downstairs. The bunk beds with separate shower room and loo plus the king bedroom with en-suite is on the ground floor. Upstairs two other bedrooms and a shared bathroom. Downstairs the kitchen is amazingly well stocked with pans, dishes, crock ware cups and glasses. We managed to cook up a roast dinner and had plenty of serving dishes etc to achieve this without any hassle. Biggest dining table you could ask for when self catering for the larger group. TV lounge spacious and very comfortable, two other rooms including a conservatory if you want to peel off from your group for a bit of quiet time. Even a utility room with washer & dryer, airier or pegs and basket if the weather is good to hang your swimming costumes outside on the line provided. Winterton on sea is just delightful, sea, sand dunes and cafés for a cuppa and something to eat after a long beach walk. If you want something less challenging underfoot (the sand dunes can be a bit hard on the ole calf muscles! :0) Sea Palling beach is a short drive with again a lovely sandy beach and café. Norwich, beautiful architecture and shopping plus is a short train ride from Gt Yarmouth if you don’t fancy driving. Evening eating, take aways available nearby and the Fisherman’s Return is a must, generous portions, lots of inside and outside seating with a friendly atmosphere. Finally, Nick the owner gives you all the information you require at the start of your holiday with contact numbers if you have any questions or problems (which we didn’t) lovely guy who deserves a five star review for offering a wonderful place to spend your holidays - thank you Nick

  • "We had a lovely stay at Fallowfields the house was large enough for 8 of us, clean and tidy."

    We had 2 dogs who loved to roam outside in the enclosed garden. It is close to the beach but had to walk through the dunes first, this wasn’t a problem for us as the dogs loved the walks. We visited the seals which was 5 mins up the road by car, did a boat trip and went into Great Yarmouth. Apart from the weather being quite wet for the week we still managed to make the most of it.

  • "Fallowfield was a lovely spacious comfortable house."

    Well presented, situated in a good area not far from the beach. Ideal for us with a bedroom downstairs for elderly parents, teenagers enjoyed the hot tub and dogs had fun in the safe enclosed garden. A very relaxing break with sunshine on the garden room in November!

  • "Lovely spacious house with everything we needed."

    The hot tub was a bonus and the large garden was perfect for the dog. The best thing was the location - just a couple of minutes' walk from the dunes and then onto the beach, which was our walk every day. We would love to go back again one day soon

  • "We have had a fantastic week at Fallowfield."

    The bungalow was spotless clean when we arrived and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. The bungalow had everything we needed for a home from home holiday and was beautiful and so spacious. The immaculate garden had plenty of seating to sit outside to enjoy the late September sunshine, and the hot tub was very relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Fallowfields, the house and garden are amazing, there was lots of room for everyone including our dog who loved roaming around the garden which is well enclosed so we had no concerns when letting him out on his own."

    The village itself was lovely and so close to a lovely dog friendly beach. The owner was easily contactable when we had a question about the washing machine. I would definitely recommend this holiday home.

  • "A really lovely house in a beautiful village, and so near to the sea and dunes."

    Perfect for our 3 generation family plus dog. The garden is really secure, with lots of space for play. A slight problem with drainage in two of the bathrooms but not enough to spoil our great week. Maybe a bbq would be a useful addition, but otherwise everything you need.

  • "Absolutely fabulous!"

    Fallowfield is a lovely, large house and was in excellent condition. The beds were comfortable, and the cleanliness was superb. We stayed here for a week, along with my daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren. So spacious, and the three full shower/bathrooms were a bonus. The house is well equipped, and the area is so quiet, yet within reach of such lovely places to visit. The well stocked garden was a delight to relax in. Would definitely recommend this house for families. We hope to return again.

  • "Absolutely wonderful holiday destination."

    Great space, fully equipped kitchen. Super to know our dog is also welcomed with the large, secure garden. Maybe a real bonus to have a freestanding sunshade, for clients sitting g out in the garden area, by the hot tub, or dining table. Many thanks, Mel

  • "We had a wonderful and supremely relaxing week away at Fallowfield."

    It is an absolutely superb, spacious property and Nick, the owner, was really helpful and responsive. The facilities were perfect in every way and if you have dogs or kids the enclosed garden was brilliant as they could run around to their heart's content and you could sit in the hot tub and watch them too if you liked, make use of the patio furniture or sit in the conservatory. It was minutes to the beach (via some steps) and the beach cafe wasn't far along, the village shop and tea room was lovely and the Fisherman's Return was great too. The owners also put an information booklet in the property to suggest other places to visit and I felt that nothing was too much trouble. It would be great for a large or extended family and there was plenty of parking with two sets of well built gates so you could shuffle cars around if you needed to. It is all very well considered at Fallowfield. We booked the property because our motorhome had a fault but I'm so glad we got to stay at Fallowfield. It was absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much Nick !

  • "Excellent property."

    Clean when arrived with plenty of amenities. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The space to the property is amazing! Our dogs and my little boy absolutely loved the garden which has so much privacy too. The only downside I could say is the sofas aren’t the most comfiest if you’re planning on having a lounge, watching a movie in the evening. But saying this we would definitely come back to Fallowfield though and absolutely love Winterton on Sea which we have travelled to on numerous occasions for a break away.

  • "We have stayed in many holiday cottages and homes over the years and Fallowfields is one of the very best."

    It is spacious, clean, extremely comfortable and well equipped, it is also just a stones throw from the dunes and beautiful dog friendly beech. The wrap around garden was fully secure giving us peace of mind that our two dogs were safe at all times. We had a great week and we will definitely return.

  • "Fallowfield is a lovely home from home."

    It’s perfect for a family get together as the garden is fully enclosed allowing peace of mind and it is a great location for the beach and holiday fun for all ages - for two legs and four! The facilities were great and pretty well thought through. The only couple of things I would say would make it perfect would be making the shower upstairs fully useable and more lamps in the lounge. Thank you for a great two weeks - we will be back!

The property

A large, detached holiday home resting in the charming seaside village of Winterton-on-Sea on Norfolk's coast, Fallowfield is a wonderful choice for a multi-generational escape.

Offering ground-floor living, a fabulous hot tub, and spacious living areas, Fallowfield is a contemporary dwelling, ideal for families seeking a scenic break to Norfolk, within easy reach of Great Yarmouth.

Enter onto the drive and park several cars here before closing the gates, heading inside and straight into the snug, boasting plush seating to relax on after a fun-filled day, leading into the conservatory which overlooks the garden.

Make your way to the kitchen to reveal a sleek fitted kitchen enjoying an American style fridge/freezer among the appliances.

The heart of the home is surely the huge living and dining room, with space enough for the whole group to comfortably come together following the day's adventures, with several sofas, a 55" Smart TV (with a Sky package including Sky Sports) and a large dining area, perfect for spending quality time with your loved ones.

Head out of the large bi-fold doors from here and enjoy the beautiful garden, whether taking a dip in the relaxing hot tub, dining alfresco at the outdoor patio furniture, or playing games on the lawn with the family.

The ground floor also boasts two bedrooms, the first being a master king-size bedroom with a large dressing area leading into an en-suite bathroom, perfect for the older generation in the group or those with mobility issues.

The second bedroom contains a full-size bunk bed and is serviced by the ground-floor shower room.

Take the stairs to the first floor and find a further two bedrooms, consisting of a twin and a king-size, with a bathroom up here, so there's plenty of places for all to freshen up before or after your activities.

Fallowfield lies just outside the centre of the village, with Winterton-on-Sea local shop and pub lying just over half a mile away, perfect for picking up any essentials or enjoying a well-earned pint following a big day.

The public footpath leading to the Winterton Dunes National Nature Reserve is just a short walk from the front door of Fallowfield, and the famous dunes are widely considered to be the best in Norfolk, the beach is also just a stone's throw away, offering a vast stretch of beautiful, golden sands, and much quieter than its neighbour further down the coast in Great Yarmouth.

Wander the nature reserve behind the beach and if you're feeling energetic, enjoy a lovely circular walk through the dunes, back across the fields, and through woodland into the village.

If you're visiting in winter, walk north up to Horsey and sit tight in the viewing point to see a special sight of seal pups being born on the beach, undoubtedly a memorable holiday moment!

Nearby is Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens home to big cats, crocodiles and many more, along with Hirsty's Family Fun Park and Lost World Adventure Golf.

Visit the remains of Caister Castle and Caister Roman Fort, with more for history enthusiasts in Great Yarmouth at the Time and Tide Museum of Great Yarmouth Life.

This seaside resort is bursting with attractions from the exciting roller coasters and rides on the beachfront, to the Merrivale Model Village, SEA LIFE centre, and beautiful Venetian Waterways.
