  On first arrival we found the property pleasant.

  Instructions left were great! and the board games were a great addition! The property heated fast and the water was constantly hot we found that all rooms were ample size for a family of four and a dog. The kitchen is big enough for 2 of you to operate in there. Dishwasher, washing machine and showers were great, the only issue in the shower with the bath is if you are 5ft 10 plus you may struggle with the large shower head due to height restriction. The property is in a great location in terms of shops, petrol stations etc. Also travelling to places like wells by the sea and cromer were within a 30 to 40 min drive which was great! The downside to the property was on first arrival and leaving was the parking to unload and load, you have to the option of parking on the road however this is a busy road where cars come past pretty fast as do lorries, so not the safest place to be able to do this. Lots of plus points to this property to be honest also found it be modern inside. The cons to the property was that it was only surface clean which is a real shame, when attempting to use the beko hoover it had no suction and would run out of battery in about 60 seconds so we used the broom but could not find a dustpan? The mattresses in both rooms were terrible way too soft and I have a bruise on my hip where a spring had dug into my leg not great for sleeping over the 3 nights as well as being next to a busy road not a great combination. The main bin was full so when attempting to put our rubbish in the this was difficult as well as extremely smelly. Also no clothes line to hang out clothes? The main light in the main bedroom also flickers like crazy. If you could sort all the above cons out above you would have a near perfect property to stay In, I feel with the main road the property owner would benefit from having better quality windows to have a lesser nosie. The stay overall was pleasant and found that Norfolk was a fantastic part of England.

  We really enjoyed our stay at Springfield, which is a lovely and well presented property.

  We were also happy with the service provided by Skyes. There are three minor points that would have enhanced our experience of the property: - on the issue with a smell of smoke (which the owners and Sykes addressed very promptly when we raised it), even having taken the steps suggested by the owner with the scent infusers, we remain of the view that there had been smoking in our near the property before our arrival. After our exchange with Skylea we spotted some cigarette stubs on the footstep immediately outside the gate, so perhaps there had been people smoking there with the door open. The smell was most noticeable in the hallway and dining room, which would make sense if people had been smoking outside very close to the front door. Signage or some means of reminding guests and cleaning staff that the property being non-smoking extends to precluding smoking near the property might be worth considering. - the kitchen sink was quite slow to drain. Not a major problem but came to be a little irritating when cleaning the kitchen as it delayed the process to have to wait for the sink to drain. - the master bedroom is beautiful and very calming, and we were really pleased that the noise from the road didn’t disturb us (or the kids in their room). One small point, perhaps personal preference, is that we found the mattress in the master bedroom quite uncomfortable - it was on the soft side so when two people are in the bed it was hard for both to be comfortable. Less of an issue when it was each of our turn for a lie in when the other got up early with the kids! All in all a really lovely stay. Thank you.

  The house itself was lovely.

  It was nice to have a fire and a bath - which was huge! Bedrooms were big and bright and airy, beds very comfy, as were the settees in the lounge. The garden would be lovely in the summer as it's west facing, and would be lovely to sit out in an evening. Couple of things mention on the downside are the road noise at the front of the house, the windows needed cleaning, and I wasn't sure of the cleanliness of the floors downstairs, as I had to clean a couple of food spills up in the kitchen and lounge. All in all though, we enjoyed our stay, so many things to see and do, and lovely to be able to walk into Fakenham for shopping or a coffee, and the Thursday Market was good too. Loved the history around the area, shame the Gas museum was closed because of Covid tho.

  Overall great house and lovely week.

  Really good location close to Wells next the sea, Brancaster and Burnham Market. The house is very spacious and the courtyard is a great sun trap. Loved the sun loungers it added a level of relaxation to a busy week. Really good quality household items and well stocked kitchen, the washing machine is a added bonus. The house on the surface was clean, however I would suggest the house needs a full spring clean, windows were dirty, skirting boards and lamp shades very dusty. The garden needed a good sweep and weeding. Would recommend. Thank you

  The mattress could do with replacing or toppers both the singles and the king.

  The rug in the living room is dirty. The sofas could also do with a clean. The supplied vacuum is not up to the job I looked to see if it had a blocked filters but am not familiar with the make and didn't find any. The shower room you should have the plumbing checked out as I could smell sewer gas in there. Also the bins ,I know that the information on getting them empty is in the book ,but we didn't see that untill day 2 the bin was full when we got there All that said the cottage is well equipped in a good location, warm ,nice garden.
