  Amazing property, so much so we didn't want to leave.

  The extra sitting room was also a hit with our teenager... Kitchen had all amenities you need. Ice creams in the freezer also went down well! The property was so spacious.. bigger than in the photos.. and we all slept well and the addition of the stars were a lovely touch! Extra pillows were available if needed. The cot was made on arrival and my youngest didn't get us up at the crack of dawn! The best property we have stayed in! Barbara visited when we were arrived to check everything was OK which was nice as normally you don't see the owner, and was able to give us some recommendations. Bewilderwood is not far if you have children and Great Yarmouth is also not far, which we loved Macdonald's is down the road which is a winner, especially if you have a child with ASD! The local Chinese is also a lovely takeaway. Cinema room was fantastic and a nice way to unwind after a busy day. Would definitely recommend. We try to always opt for bungalows especially with small children and this didn't disappoint.

  On the day of departure I received a text message at 6:38 in the morning reminding us to leave the property by 10am.

  We were fully aware we had to leave by 10am and were packed and ready to go by this time. However, my severely disabled mother got stuck on the toilet and it took us some time to get her back on her feet again. The owner then arrived and despite having explained why we were 20 minutes late checking out she literally threw our bags out the door and then proceeded to man-handle my 90 year old mother out of her wheelchair and into the back of the car herself! I'm surprised she didn't pick her up and throw her in the boot she was so desperate to get rid of us! I was absolutely stunned! In all the years I have been renting holiday properties both in the UK and abroad I have never experienced anything like this attitude towards guests who have paid not an inconsiderable amount of money for their accommodation. It actually ruined what was otherwise a very pleasant holiday.

  Our cottage was very clean and, in the main, comfortable.

  The living room seating (in common with all the Sykes properties where we have stayed) seems to aimed at the younger clientele for it does not provide long-term comfort for us oldies. We needed to borrow 'normal' armchairs from various rooms for TV viewing. Also, on the rare sunny days we had, it would have been nice to to find some cushions for the sun loungers. I know the cottage is 'high-tec' and included a dishwasher but, for the more analogue guests, it would have been great to find even a simple plastic dish drainer tucked away under the sink. It's probably an age thing but many of us still do washing-up 'old school'. To sum up, though, we really enjoyed our stay at Birch Cottage and were grateful for the welcoming biscuits & milk provided by Barbara.

  Very nice property, very clean with some great features.

  Owner’s communications was excellent with the offer of help on tap if we needed it. Property isn’t easy to find or park at (if you have large vehicles take note). On the plus side it feels very secluded and cosy. The showers are amazing as is the cinema room. Two of the great features. Well located for the broads and days at the beach not too far a drive. Local curry house the bay leaf serves very good food and amazing service. Have recommended to the owner that additional utensils be provided as the property is lacking in this regard - there aren’t many improvements that could be made! Stay here and you won’t be disappointed. We would happily stay again.

  We had a lovely stay but feel the cottage has an identity crisis and is not sure about the rooms.

  We didn’t need two lunges and a cinema room so most of the time sat in one lounge. Couldn’t understand all the cupboard space in the other lounge and kitchen. Lots of empty cupboards for a holiday let. A lot of the kitchen ware and glasses were dirty and needed up washing things before we used it. We also found some kitchen ware missing like a colander to wash salad and vegetables. Outside area was lovely. Well stocked garden which the dogs loved. We found the cottage well situated for our travels around Norfolk. Maybe warn people about the narrow tracks to get to the cottage.
