What our customers say about their holidays

  The standard of cleaning was low on arrival - lots of hair on floor and even in the sheets. Many cobwebs and lots of dust. The rules on the booking page did not reflect the terms set out in the property info at the cottage e.g. the booking said 'one dog' whereas the booklet at the property said 'one small or medium dog'. Also, the property booklet said that the dog was not allowed on furniture or upstairs. I can't think of anyone who doesn't let their dog on furniture or prevents them from using an entire floor of the property, so I honestly think that this means the property is not dog friendly. The booklet also stated that the fireplace was out of order, even though when I contacted the host (who was very lovely and helpful) she said this was out of date and incorrect. We ran out of supplies that were listed as provided, and had to buy our own toilet paper, dishwasher tablets, laundry capsules, kitchen roll, and washing up brush. The private garden space wasn't attached to the property directly, but was accessed via a communal space. This was disappointing as it meant we couldn't safely and securely let our dog outside, as we didn't want her in the neighbours spaces or even escaping onto the road if a neighbour opened the shared gate.

  We absolutely loved our stay at The Old Dormitory, we have stayed in many places but this was right up there. We were really looking forward to the break, and upon arrival, the house and the view just blew us away. Luckily we had great weather so could spend time outside and being so close to the beach was perfect for taking our dog on his morning walk, then having the shower and hose facilities in the garden to wash down after our beach walks was perfect. The house itself had everything we needed and was so comfortable. The living room and main bedroom had the fabulous views of the beach/sea. Also being so close to the RNLI we had the opportunity to watch the hovercraft and team go out on their training session. Being so close to the walkway to the beach and the cafe, there was more noise than we are used to, but we really liked it, it just had a bit more of a buzz about it. Having the outside canopy and heater allowed us to sit outside late at night and enjoy our evenings in the fresh air without being cold. The only thing that would make it perfect would be to have more comfortable outside furniture to sit on. We will definitely be returning to The Old Dormitory, loved every minute.

  Kittiwake Cottage isn’t as reflected on agents website.

  For a relatively high price property Kittiwake Cottage is tired throughout and this is not just end of season tired. The online pictures are not current, perhaps they are from when the cottage first came on the holiday market as the furnishings do not reflect their current condition. Too many issues have been left unmanaged including a leaking en suite shower, a rusted plug hole in the downstairs WC, a blocked shower tray and dirty tiling. The dishwasher trays are so badly rusted we couldn’t use it with fear of making us ill, just as well as it also leaks! A good kitchen let down by poor quality pots pans and appliances. The sofas and chairs are very uncomfortable and unclean. It’s unusual for a holiday let not have a guest book to give feedback on the stay so perhaps some of its issues haven’t been recorded which is why these haven’t been rectified. All in all it’s a potentially good property with double parking in a great location. It does though need freshening up throughout with some new furnishings, fix the issues and the odd top level touch such as bedroom TV’s to make it what it really should be!

  The cottage is perfectly located for exploring the Norfolk coast, Sandringham and Wroxham broad. It is spacious downstairs with excellent facilities. I am recently dsabled and had minor problems getting up from the sofas. I was aware of the bathroom being downstairs but by being careful I managed the stairs. I am 6 foot tall and this provided a challenge accessing so.e parts of the property. Overall the cottage has charm and although the outside sitting area is limited but mitigated by Heacham beach nearby and a long promenade suitable for wheelchair use.. There was only my wife and I so the property more than fulfilled our needs. It would be a challenge accommodating 4 mature adults but when our children were younger they would have loved the bunk beds. The welcome pack was a nice touch. The owners were available if needed but we had no issues at all.

  Absolutely perfect for what we needed!

  We were 2 families and between us had a 3 year old, 2 year old and 9 month old and we were really pleased with how clean the house was and the set up was ideal for us. We had really hot weather and it was close enough that we could pop home from the beach when it got too much for the children and wait until it cooled down a bit (we really appreciated the fans in the house especially at night). We’ve stayed in Hunstanton before but this cottage was the best we’ve stayed in for cleanliness, location and practicality. We walked to old Hunstanton and visited the sea life centre while we were there which we recommend . Being so close to a Tesco was great with children too! The only issue we had was that a bbq was listed on the site but we couldn’t find where it was. We assumed it was in the back shed which was locked. We would definitely stay again! Thank you
