  This was our 3rd stay in different cottages in Norfolk and our favourite so far.

  It was clean and tidy when we arrived and appreciated the welcome gifts of tea, coffee, milk and a box of chocolates. We were a 9 minute walk from the beach and were fortunate to have great weather so spent most of our time there. My husband and daughter had a surfing lesson, which was the highlight of my daughter’s week, whilst my son preferred heading to the amusement arcade, and the dog learnt her way to the beach very quickly insisting on walks there at every opportunity. At the end of the road there’s a lovely butchers and deli, a Post Office, greengrocer, gift shop and clothes shop just around the corner. Fish and chips from The Ship Inn were delicious but we were disappointed by the slowness of the table service when we ate in the restaurant. We also ate at The View Restaurant, which had both lovely food and excellent service. The property has a downstairs bedroom and bathroom. My disabled father in law came with us and I only provide this as a comment not a criticism as the property does not profess to be set up for disabled access. Both the front and rear entrances have a couple of steps so you can’t wheel a chair into the property. Also, the downstairs bathroom and shower are quite small making it difficult for a disabled person to move around and shower successfully. My father in law still enjoyed his stay despite this. The only negative comments we would make about the property are that slightly better cooking facilities would be appreciated such as sharp knives (they were all blunt making cutting veg difficult), a large frying pan/wok, a couple of ovenproof dishes (I had brought ingredients for lasagne but then had nothing to cook it in) and a proper chopping board. Also we couldn’t find instructions for the tv/DVD etc and had to give up using them by the final evening. However I’m just being fussy. Overall we had an amazing stay and didn’t want to leave. We have already booked to go back next summer.

  We had a great time here, the weather was really good; which helps.

  First the good bits, Cobblers's Cottage is in a great location handy for the beach & the Ship Inn which is a great pub for food & take away fish & chips. The Sykes details said hand held shower but there is an electric power shower, the details also didn't mention a dish washer but there is a good compact one fitted. Washing & dish washer tablets provided. The bad bits, 1. The pipework to the toilet is covered in black mould. not very nice. I have photo. 2. The toilet bowl is black with grime and needs a serious cleaning. I have photo. 3. The toilet seat is a non self closing cheap flimsy plastic affair, could do with a decent sturdy soft close one 4. There are 4 beds but only 3 outside chairs 5. The outside table & chairs could do with a clean & a coat of preservative 6. The double bed is very soft, could do with a firmer mattress. We woke up with back ache. 7. The double socket near the blue cupboard does not work. It is hidden but is a good place to have one 8. Nice washing machine fitted but no where to dry it if you used it. In my view the Sykes cottage inspection process shows up as being weak as many of these issues would have picked up with a good professional inspection. The owner should also check the listing for accuracy as it is better than described. The issues aren't major but could be cheaply addressed to make a good cottage a great one. Its the sloppy attention to detail which annoys. These cottages are not cheap and the owners should maintain them properly. Perhaps they should stay there once a year to find out for themselves. Despite this annoyances we would come again!

  What a charming location the holiday cottage/annex is, set within a gated court yard and parking right outside your door. A beautiful modern well appointed kitchen and a lovely welcome pack wine, Amaretto biscuits, coffee and milk, it was lovely to sit and have breakfast and evening meal if staying in. The living accommodation was up stairs with the bedroom just off it, Freeview TV and good WiFi, the bed was a game of two half’s, I loved the extra thick topper great to sink into but my other half would have preferred a harder bed, but wouldn’t stop him going back. The swimming pool albeit not heated was a welcome bonus as it was 31 degrees! and once in the water it was lovely, the pool was also nice to sit around reading or having a beer or two. Pool towels also left out by the thoughtful owners. A beautiful walled garden was a great area to sit and relax. The small village is very quiet and secluded but a visit to Norwich, The Broads and small villages including Holt all within half an hours drive with the coast 3 mile away or a 5 min drive. All in all loved it and the owners Carol and Steve very welcoming and on hand if anything needed and useful information on days out. Would definitely recommend and return another time maybe with the family to the adjacent cottage.

  This was our 2nd visit to Flint Cottage.

  The house itself didn’t disappoint with plenty of room for myself, husband, 2 kids, dog, and my father in law, who spends most of his time in a wheelchair. We love being so close to the beach and the kids (age 10 and 13) enjoy going off by themselves for an ice cream or visit to the arcade. I love the independent shops and always treat myself to a trip to Jupe! The only thing that let us down was the cleanliness of the property. We are not normally fussy about such things but for the amount we were paying, and not being able to gain access until 4pm, we expected a better standard. On this occasion under the furniture hadn’t been cleaned where we found lots of dust and two small shards of glass by one chair. The dishwasher needed a deep clean and we had to re wash the crockery and glasses (one of which was cracked) by hand before they could be used. Dirty crockery had also been left in the dishwasher upon our arrival. The skirting boards were very dusty and the main dressing table needed cleaning. Also, the handle for the grill didn’t fit and there were no oven gloves, both of which were really needed. Once we had cleaned the above, we really enjoyed our stay. It was just a disappointing start but it wouldn’t stop us returning on our next visit to Norfolk.

  Flintstone was a lovely cottage in a great location in Mundesley within walking distance to the beach, shops, pub, field and play park.

  Very well decorated and plenty of space for 5 adults and 2 grandchildren with a nice conservatory and welcome pack. A few points for attention however include: The badly brown stained toilet bowls which we improved straight away with domestos. The TV reception was really bad and we couldn't get the DVD or Blu Ray players working. This was resolved following 2 visits of the maintenance man and our request for instructions. We note that this was a similar problem for a previous reviewer also in August. Suggest leaving instructions in the House Guide and a review of TV reception. Some light bulbs also need replacing. The garden although a nice area would benefit from some tidying and cutting back shrubs around the patio table and clearance of some accumulated rubbish. A further enhancement would be to provide a washing line for beachwear, towels etc. Despite these we had a nice time and would have no hesitation in returning for another holiday
