What our customers say about their holidays
Graham - Verified booking
We booked this property in haste when another booking let us down.
The location is very good, being close to shops, pubs, walks etc. It has all the facilities one might expect such as wifi, Netflix etc and other modern amenities. However, the cleaning and maintenance regime, though adequate, is very poor indeed in places (grubby doors and skirting, a grubby stained table cover in the lounge, horribly filthy corners outside the downstairs shower. The insides of the external door frames are filthy. The paintwork downstairs needs serious attention as does the scruffy woodblock flooring. This is obviously more than end-of season wear and tear. The ceiling in the kitchen has evidence of water damage including a 10cm black stain (mould?). Some maintenance is frankly laughable such as the crudely taped up cat flap at the back door and a replacement edge strip on a kitchen worktop which is nailed on at one end. Most of these edge strips are missing, exposing the chipboard beneath. In fairness, upstairs the decor and furnishings were better and the bed we slept in was reasonably comfortable. Outside, the front "lawn" comprises mostly weeds and sits next to a crumbling, weed-infested drive. The back garden is similarly unattractive comprising mostly "lawn" with a vista of the back of the garage and an ugly oil tank. We have rented many cottages, apartments, villas and houses over a period of decades both in the UK and Europe. Without doubt, this is the scruffiest and grubbiest we have ever stayed in. This is our first experience of Sykes and if this is the standard we might expect, then it is likely to be our last. We were so shocked by what we found that I took photos in case anyone from Sykes in interested.

A mixed review I am afraid.
The positives great location in a quiet residential area. Well stocked convenience shop, garage, cafe and craft shops all a few minutes walk away. Norfolk Coast path a matter of minutes away on foot, so walks from the door, great dogs are allowed and the garden is secure. The previously detailed cleaning issues have been generally addressed. However, like so many holiday lets the property is tired, bobbly bed linen, could do with redecoration/ paint throughout, broken cat flap in kitchen door allows a through draught. 10.5 worn duvet on bed changed for a 13.5 found in the wardrobe but that had a large tea? stain on it. But worse was we arrived at 4.45pm in the cold snap, frost on the ground and the heating was off. It took several hours to warm up not helped by the cat flap. Luckily there was an electric fire in the lounge. Didn't make for a feeling of welcome as did the lack of spare loo rolls, no cling film etc, no welcome note or pack just a 2015 sparse note of instructions. Could be so much better with some attention. The house did warm up after a few days and we made the most of it as a great area to explore especially the coast.

We have stayed here twice before and feel at home and love the location for walks etc.
We have plans to return next month to celebrate a special anniversary.So,it would be really appreciated if the owner could take action on the following;-- 1. The large frying pan has a loose handle and is so scratched it is no longer fit for purpose and need to be replaced 2. The wooden bed in the bedroom with the en suite creaks loudly even if you just sit on it "gently" I am not sure if this can be fixed 3. When we used the hoover to clean the property we found the suction was "hit and miss2 " and I inspected it to find the dust bag inside was not inserted properly due to a plastic "holding "piece broken/missing. This made it an arduous task but we perservered ,as we always like to the property in a clean and tidy state.It would be great if the hoover could be fixed or replaced by the time we come back on Oct.14th. It would contribute to a memorable anniversary and I would then be able to give Sykes 10 out of 10. Thank you so much Regards Mr. Peter J Cleaver

Catherine - Verified booking
I don't often leave feedback, but on this occasion I will as I nearly didn't book the cottage due to some very negative feedback.
The house was very clean and comfortable and although there were only two of us staying it was well equipped and would provide everything needed for up to seven or eight people (mugs, plates, cutlery, glasses etc even two fridges and a freezer) particularly as it is a effectively a three bathroom property, so no queueing! We had our two dogs with us, I never allow them upstairs or into the sitting room, but the kitchen diner was big enough for them to stay in without being cramped. The garden was excellent, totally secure, with the added bonus of a garden gate giving access straight out onto a quiet lane for early morning and evening walks. The location for me was perfect, quiet but only two minutes walk to the supermarket and plenty of really good Norfolk pubs and restaurants nearby. Will definitely stay again.

Mrs Jo Holdcroft - Verified booking
The property was in a beautiful position and there’s lots of positives. However we did feel that although it was marketed for 6 people, the living space wasn’t really adequate to be able to all sit comfortably - we ended up using a couple of our camping chairs in an evening! The dining table also only had 4 chairs so was we were constantly bringing in chairs from other rooms so we could all sit and eat together - which is a big thing for us. There’s some equipment which could do with updating such as the cooker. Overall it’s a lovely property in a fab setting, but it was pricey given the size of the place. We stayed at the old Post Office last year which sleeps 10 and has lots of living area, seating and large kitchen which was less £££.
