  !st week of September booking for us - our Anniversary! We couldn't have chosen better - it was a home away from home

  . Everything was thought of - even a hairdryer (although it was suited for drying not styling). The kitchen was fully equipped - all the tools you could possibly need on holiday, and some you might not - even a fully loaded spice rack; condiments, and tea, coffee, sugar. As a conscientious renter we did make sure that we replenished any of the consumables - seems only fair! Plenty of blankets, for those chillier nights - not that we had any on our stay. A super comfortable bed ensured a good nights sleep. I did take my eye mask, so as to ensure no light pollution woke me too early, that did serve me well. The bathroom was spacious, with a good shower over a deep bath - absolutely splendid. Will, the owner, left a really useful information pack on the table, detailing local places to visit, and the history of the cottage - very informative, and most useful. If any further info was needed there was a very knowledgeable neighbour (Pete) popping into view most days - he was friendly and helpful. We made use of the recommended local chippy and Chinese takeaway (who delivered to us). Both were detailed in the info pack - and yes, they were definitely worth making use of. With some doggy treats left for our four-footed fur-baby, we were totally settled for a delightful week-long stay. Would we go back? A resounding YES! Anything we would change? No, everything you need is there - it is for a self-catering holiday after all! Thankyou Will - we loved it!

  We had the impression from the photo that this was a bungalow attached to a house but actually it's attached to other holiday homes on a small holiday park.

  It's a well-kept site and there was plenty of parking in February. Although we couldn't get the beach gate open with the key, I found the other set of stairs a little way down the lane and there is a ramp further on. The beach is naturally wild and beautiful and Kessingland has good amenities - Africa Alive, fish and chip shop, Coop supermarket and pub selling food. Sykes impressed me with all the info / communications prior to the stay and it was very easy to get in and set up. The bungalow did smell of damp on arrival and was chilly but it was very early in the season. We soon warmed everything up with the electric radiators. As this is a family holiday home, it was incredibly well equipped and looked more like a home than a bland holiday let. It had everything you could possibly need! The showers were not that hot but usable. Apart from that, we had an excellent stay and felt the owners had really taken great care to make their guests feel at home.

  6 Coastal Cottage was perfect for our two-night weekend stay.

  We were three adults and two dogs, using the cottage as our base while visiting our daughter who lives in Suffolk. The cottage was warm and cosy during a cold spell, which was a comfort after beach walks with the dogs. The cottage came with a full list of instructions for utilities, including heating. The oven instructions were particularly helpful, as it had a quirky way of being turned on involving the clock/timer. The cottage presented well upon our arrival. It is small, so for a longer stay with three adults and two dogs, we would look for something larger, especially as we had our daughter and her partner visit for an afternoon. However, the images and description on the website accurately reflect the cottage. During the summer months, the outside space would be a bonus. The dishwasher was a bit tired but still functioned fine. Ideally situated for beach walks, which are just a two-minute walk away. Overall, a comfortable stay.

  Lovely location and the owner has provided everything you need to make this a home from home break.

  Welcome message with all key code information the morning of arrival day. Pint of milk in fridge for a cuppa on arrival. Slight issue with some cleaning (oven and microwave) this was remedied quickly with a message to owners and a return by cleaners at our convenience. There is currently no onsite access to beach due to recent storm damage (5th May 22) Alternative path appx 25 minutes walk via Azure seas holiday park. Maintenance man arrived one morning to paint balcony overhang this had not been communicated to us and changed our plans that morning. Great Chinese takeaway at entrance to park and a down to earth friendly village pub with huge outside seating area. Village shop is at back of pub. This is a lovely part of the country and I look forward to a return visit and be happy to book any of Gary’s properties again.

  Very lovely bungalow with excellent views out to sea.

  Good facilities and small but useable kitchen. Having a bathroom and shower room was helpful - just have to watch the door seal and bath screen seal as if not in place can cause both showers to leak. The weather in March was a little chilly and using panel radiators and towel rails kept a steady temp around 16 to 18 C and the electric fire topped up if a little chilly. The conservatory was perfect for sitting in the sun for lunch. If you like fresh fish the world of fish near Morrisons a 7 min drive away is excellent. The more local shops about 5 mins walk away are good with bakery, chip shop and co-op. Great communication with the owner and easy to access. Hope to return again. Also the local church has recently been completly re-thatched and can see it easily if you take a walk around the area.
