Stalham, a market town in North Norfolk, has a typical Main Street lined with stores and restaurants. A mobile market visits town on Tuesdays, and every other Saturday there is a farmers market, in addition to the regular sales held in the town hall. Since Stalham is a popular departure point for boating holidays in the Norfolk Broads, it makes sense that the area would also feature a museum that provides an understanding of the region's unique ecosystem. This is a great place to stay to explore the Norfolk Broads and the coast, as it is only a short drive from some beautiful beaches.

Our stay was amazing! The house is beautiful and spacious, it was extremely clean and really warm and cosy. The beds were super comfy in our opinion and the the facilities are great, especially the hot tub! The kitchen had everything we needed for a full Sunday roast for 8 people! The huge oven was a bonus! The only thing that was inconvenient was that there wasnât enough hot water for 8 showers in the morning. However, we made this work for the rest of the days by staggering the showers slightly, so it didnât end up being a huge issue for us. We would definitely come back here, it was perfect for our New Years getaway!

But, after corresponding with the owner about the negative comments, reassurance was given. And Sky certainly delivered! It was perfect for our Christmas getaway. So much space for everyone and it had everything we needed to cook and serve a delicious Christmas dinner! We all had the most amazing time and loved the spaciousness of this property. We all loved it

I saw the previous bad feedback before I arrived and I rung before leaving to check everything would be fixed. I was told it would be. It wasnât The place would have been lovely when new but it not being maintained. The photos on Sykes website and ratings on Sykes are no longer accurate. Dirty, sticky kitchen top, tea stained mugs, cobwebs everywhere, mouldy shower. Dead flies in fridge. Poor drainage outside. Some lights not working, second boiler fuse missing so only enough hot water for 3 (it sleeps 8!). Doors falling off the rails and dangerous. Front rail by door wobbly. Two toilets not bolted to wall they move when sitting on them. We had to fix the bed and tighten up front door ourselves. Back decking all green (not nice when walking to get in hot tub!). And to top it off when we changed the sheets at the end of the holiday we found all the mattresses were covered in wee & poo stains. Made us all feel sick. I have complained and sent pictures to Skykes but apparently the owner isnât responding to my complaint. Very disappointed.
