  This holiday was booked for memories.

  My husband went over the rainbow 2 years ago & being lucky enough to have a motorhome we would holiday in areas near Hunstanton. Most days we would go for afternoon tea at the Bowling green cafe, where I did visit. When I arrived I couldn't get the key box open so I asked a young couple if they could help me, they got me in after numerous phone calls, they were amazing even emptied my car. I had a good sleep as I had driven from Leeds & was over tired. On Sunday I needed a shower but it wouldn't turn on, so I thought for now I will just have a wash.... NO HOT WATER. Thankfully I did eventually find the switch for the shower high up on the wall outside of the bathroom, but still no running hot water & no instructions, & the toilet seat didn't fit properly it slipped from side to side. The bedroom was ok although the bed was quite hard, the kitchen was ok, but no hot water in there either & no cutlery & I noticed that the microwave wasn't fit straight. The room was the one most depressing room I've ever had to use. All the furniture was brown & old fashioned. There's a sideboard that reeks of fustiness & heyoi i found the cutlery in the stinking drawer. I had to take out what I would use boil some water & let them soak to get rid of the smell. The old fashioned lamp next to the tv was annoying as the bulb was protruding above the shade. Niggling complaints, the bottom of the bowl was disgusting & hadn't been cleaned & the waste bin hadn't been cleaned before the liner was put in, a tv in the bedroom would be nice you don't have to watch it if you don't want to ..... I left on the Wednesday as I was so disappointed & the room was so depressing, unfortunately my friend had to cancel coming with me. It's time for the owners of the flat to upgrade & modernise that room. The flat 2 doors up is beautiful & modern done out in cream. Maybe the owner of Surf should have a look at it. It wasn't a cheap holiday.. I feel well & truly let down as this holiday was supposed to be very special&was anything but Yes you can publish it, i don't believe the comments unless the people who commented were old & didn't mind old grotty furniture.

  The main problems with the accommodation were to do with the shower.

  The tray was raised up and the cabinet doors did not meet. The cabinet had a full length curtain fitted which if used correctly was fine. However leaving the shower was precarious given there were no grab or hand rail hold and the "step" down from the raised shower tray was considerable. The double bedroom had a very large and intrusive wardrobe located on the wall which made the room very cramped and awkward to use. The television sound was distorted which I think was caused by a speaker issue. However the flat was comfortable in the main living area and ideally situated for a family being very close to the sea The kitchen was very usable and very well equipped. It would be advisable on the listing to make it clear there is no private outside space and define the parking arrangements as some of the apartments are privately owned and it is not always clear who can park where. We did call both Sykes and the owners regarding the parking, Sykes referred us to the owners who did not call back or respond to the messages. Also during our stay there was a working building site next door and the contractors vehicles and the builders cars made parking difficult although they did do their best to minimise the impact

  Good points were very close to beach easy parking.

  Bad points were as follows; Main bedroom could not walk round bed on one side due to large wardrobe in the room, double glazing in window is blown, not enough powers points. Second bedroom ok accept there is a very cheap IKEA pull down wardrobe in room again double glazing window is blown, we slept in this room as the beds were comfortable. Kitchen plenty of utensils new cooker but pans and trays were old and dirty these could be updated or replaced. Living room no wi_fi available television at night reception from Ariel kept casing in and out, do I G table has seen lots of days and is very old. Toilet and shower are extremely poor old wall heater,the shower is very weak and you have to step up about a foot to get into it, the shower doors and curtain are not user friendly And could do with a revamp In all we enjoyed our few days at Hunstanton but the Surf facility !etc it down somewhat as we both felt the flat washout dated and could do with a a total refit in the bathroom and the bedrooms and would benefit from having wi_fi etc. Front door and window in living room is drafty as well.

  Lovely location, Flat was quite roomy,shower/toilet was very nice, kitchen was fine even though it was odds and sods of cooking items and utensils.

  Plates, side plates, dishes matched, brilliant microwave. Button on the kettle that opens the lid was broken. Double Bedroom a bit cramped, the mattress was awful , spring dug in you which ever way you layer, curtains fitted where they touched and very faded, could get curtains out of charity shop, furniture was nice, air freshener on top of wardrobe was possibly 12 months old dried up to the size of a fifty pence. Single room was quite decent 2 single beds. Sheets towels etc was there, I used my own that I took with me and my used his own towels. Furniture in living room was too big if had been a tv unit would be better instead of large sideboard, also the table was a pain to keep putting the leaf up when you wanted to use it. Needs to be decorated to make it bright and cheerful, there was a foisty smell which was awful. A few cobwebs and windows needed cleaning. Flat ,as I said lovely position

  We found Surf to be comfortable, clean and cosy.

  The flat had all the facilities that we like, such as all appliances working, lovely warm heaters that were easy to control, good lighting so that we could read our books in the evening and plenty of cupboard space in the kitchen for our food. Parking was very easy too. The beach was just over the road, and there was a good supermarket a short distance away. I needed to call the owner on one occasion and he couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. The lack of Wifi didn't bother us. We had a great holiday and look forward to returning to Surf next year.
