Sunnymeade

Lovely big house with plenty of room to accommodate a variety of ages.

Hot tub was good, although you had to go to it via the downstairs bedroom, which was not a problem to us, but could e to others. The heating was sometimes a bit erratic, i.e. it could be too warm and occasionally the radiators would sometimes make loud vibrating noises in the night, solved by turning them down. The dishwasher packed up after 2 days, it was quickly attended to, but needed to be replaced, which didn’t happen until the day we were going. Property information stated there was a village pub, but that has been long closed. Overall our stay at Sunnymeade was very enjoyable

This is the second time my family and I have stayed at this property.

Clean, comfortable and perfect for our large family. Thank you for having us.

Sunnymeade is a fabulous property for a large group.

The house is well equipped and spacious and met our needs perfectly. The pool table and hot tub were a great hit with young and old. The house was very hot when we arrived (not helped by a mild October), but we found that by turning some radiators off it maintained a pleasant temperature. There was always plenty of hot water and all the showers worked well. Due to lack of ventilation and window the downstairs shower room smelt musty, but we didn't have need to use it and kept the door closed. On our first full day the tap in the kitchen sprung a leak. The owner responded swiftly and a plumber arrived within the hour and fixed it. Wifi coverage through the house was good and it was a great base for exploring Norfolk and relaxing with family and friends. Overall a brilliant house and we would certainly return.

Our family of 12 had a great time at Sunnymeade, a very spacious and comfortable home which was very well equipped with everything you might need.

Also easily accessible to lots of places as well as a Morrisons/fish & chip shop 5 mins walk from the property so all in all a great place to stay.

A great holiday home which was well equipped.

The property is within easy reach of many places to explore. We had a great family holiday.

We had a lovely stay at Sumnymeade It's great accomodation which suited our family perfectly.

However, the main reason we chose the property was we like to have a games room. The pool table, which is in need of attention, it's still playable but has several holes and some pockets are out of line. We also tried to play one of the games provided but it was incomplete. These little details need sorting to enhance your stay!

Beautiful house had a lovely stay to catch up with old friends.

The hot tub was superb.

We found Sunnymeade to be in a good location and spacious, well appointed.

There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out or all be together. All equipment worked and the hot tub and pool table were enjoyable. Local amenities were good.

Upon entering Sunnymeade ,we all said WOW.

It was an amazing hallway. The house smelt fresh and was very clean throughout.This holiday home was very well equipped.We had a lovely carefree stay. A big thank you to the owners and the cleaning team. Babs x

A lovely large house in a pleasant village with all facilities and lots of internal flexibility.

The fish and chip shop in the village is excellent, as is the Bure Valley railway which is less than 10 mins walk from Sunnymeade. Would definitely return, beds and bedding top notch and we all had a great three nights sleep.

A great place to stay with family/friends.

All the amenities you require and in a perfect location. We would definitely return!

Absolutely beautiful house, everything was great, would highly recommend.

All the bedrooms were lovely, really comfortable beds....lots of "little extras"....tea, coffee, biscuits, cleaning products, toilet rolls, soap and handcream....hairdryers in every bedroom......Had lots of fun playing snooker..and going in the hot tub...plenty of parking.....Couldn't fault anything......

Really nice property but was way too cold, showers were luke warm to say the least and the oven smoked like crazy every time we turned it on setting off the fire alarms 5 times, the pot's and pans were somewhat dirty and had to be cleaned before we could use them as were some of the plates, we were probably a little more affected by all this as we were celebrating 2 x 60th Birthdays which meant we did stay at the house and not go out to eat & drink, lady in out building was a bit rude over parking and actually parked not in her designated places because we were unloading a van and said "you can't park there move it" we had no intention of parking there but it was easier to unload our food drink & provisions due to the difficulty of moving items across the shingle, a nice little "hello" and pointing out the parking restrictions would have been a lot better.

Overall a nice place, but probably wouldn't return because of the issues above.

This was our 1st visit to Sunnymeade.

When we arrived, there was a large secure fenced carpark with gates. To be honest it is an impressive house to be welcomed by. We immediately felt at home. The host gave us access an hour early which was good news as we had arrived before the check in time of 4pm. We were surprised to see that Sunnymeade had been updated before our arrival, the host had just renovated both bathrooms downstairs to en suites with showers on the ground floor. Both en suites are big, what a pleasant surprise, we had not expected that. We were also impressed to see Sunnymeade has had a new well proposition 2nd kitchen fitted next to the existing kitchen with an oven and hob, more than enough space needed to prepare food for our group. We were there with a “handful” of young guests and the games room was a welcome addition, football table, large TV and bean bags. Sunnymeade has great Wifi across the inside and outside of the property. Even when we relaxed in the Hot tub which can easily accommodate seven people, the wifi was available. Dining room with the pool table was convenient place, two large dining table and chairs for everyone to sit around the table. The living room with the large smart TV was nice place to hangout and relax. Sunnymeade is only few minutes safe walk from the Village shop, Pub and the Fish and Chip shop which is very good. Would we come back? Oh Yes, this place has been the best place for the money we paid and would definitely return.

The house was perfect for our group of adults and teens.

We loved the pool table and hot tub and the lounge room was very comfortable. The kitchen was really well stocked with everything you would need to cook for large groups.

We had a lovely week at Sunnymede.

The house was spacious and clean. The beds were very comfortable. There was plenty of space downstairs for 10 adults and 3 children. The kitchen was well equipped including large fridge and freezer. We appreciated the extra touches like the welcome hamper and bathrobes and lots of towels. Everybody loved it.

The house looks amazing from the outside, but the inside was slightly disappointing the rooms need updating and a lot of wasted space, the kitchen had very little work space and we did struggle to put cupboard goods away as there was no cupboards available, it was hard cooking for 12 people in a small space but a lot of space was given to a freezer and washing machine in 2 other rooms off the kitchen, the showers in the bedrooms were very small and great for the children but not for people who were a bit larger in size.

The beds were super comfy and the bedrooms spacious. This property could be awesome if a little more thought is put in on using the space available for a family feel. Spend a bit more money on updating the furniture so families can sit properly together we struggled with the picnic table in the dining room and people had to sit on the floor as 12 people couldn’t fit on sofas.

If I had known that the property was sub let through another company I would not have booked the property.

The pool table which we all enjoy was worn out it had holes in the baise and it was well past its best. The rear of the property particularly the downstairs double bedroom was so cold because the heating hardly came on so we got in to a freezing cold bed at night. The towel rail in the shower room came off the wall as it had been bodged up as the holes where the screws went in the plasterboard were too big and had been filled with plaster and normal plastic plugs had been used. The last night I got an email with instructions to strip all the beds of linen and leave in the bathroom and we had to be off the premises by 09:30. The reviews I read were obviously in the summer as there were no complaints of the property being cold. I have stayed in properties let out by Sykes in late October several times but this one was a nightmare, would I use Sykes again, I doubt it. Ron from London

You could see that this Property use to be a Nursing Home.

Appreciate Water pressures are what they are but the only decent shower to use in the property was the one downstairs. Certainly needs updating through the entire property, however the lounge area was very nice with TV and the only other TV was in the Games Room but could certainly do with another TV in the other Front Lounge. Kitchen was well equipped but then it would be as used to be a Nursing Home. Dining area OK but could really do with one table rather than 2 Mix Matched Tables, Chairs & Benches. Please take this as constructive criticism as Investment is indeed required and dated bathrooms and bedrooms really need to be updated and not a great cost. Same time next year property is asking for £2500.00 which really is not worth the money. I paid £1800.00 for this holiday to Celebrate my Wife's 60th Birthday with her family but could have got better value for money going elsewhere.

We have spent 3 consecutive stays over 3 years at Sunnymeade because happy with all the facilities in Sunnymeade kept clean and appealing x Very central in a lovely village to enjoy the local area

In such hot weather it was a shame that a lot of windows could not be opened in the evening to allow cooler air into the rooms.

A man came around, and when we raised this he just said that the keys had been lost. For example, our room (en suite double at front) had the sun full on all morning, but only one small top opener would open. Our room was consequently baking. I had brought a fan, but I would have preferred to have fresh air in the evening. The rest of the house was very suitable for our group. We had fun in the hot tub and just about managed to squeeze around the tables (indoor and out) to eat. I can’t speak for other rooms, but the one shelf in our ensuite (with pot plants on) was very dusty so I did not put my toiletries out. I instead put my bag on the floor. A clean shelf would be very appreciated for toiletries to go out on.

Very nice property with amazing Victorian features with a modern extension.

Front parking area is more than ample and there is a ground level entrance round the side if the front steps are a bit much. The property itself is huge! Very easy to get lost and disorientated but you soon get the layout. The games room down the end of the property is perfect for keeping the little ones and young ones entertained, they connected their switch to the supplied TV and we didn’t see them after that. All the rooms are spacious enough but not all of them have a en-suit showers but there is a shower in the downstairs hallway and the lower back bedroom has a bath. We did have a couple of issues out of the owners control and he was very easy to get hold of and offered any help he could! Issues were internet blackout and loss of electricity to the village. Both issues didn’t last long luckily. The hot tub is an absolute dream! Can comfortably fit four people easily or tho is is designed for 7 but think that’s a bit of a squeeze as you start to run out of spaces for legs but there are 7 seats. Overall we all (13 people) really enjoyed our stay there and would happily return.

Great stay would highly recommend!

We had a lovely two night stay at Sunnymead for a Hen Do.

The house is perfect for a group gathering with lots of big rooms to socialise in. The bedrooms were all clean and comfortable and having a toilet in each room is a real plus. Thank you

When we arrived at the cottage it was disappointing to see in one of the double bedrooms the toilet and shower were not working and a sign on the door.

We had received no communication about this prior to arriving or any compensation for not being able to use it. Secondly, we booked a long weekend stay from Friday night to Monday, and we found another note on the Hot tub informing us we could not use it until Saturday P.M. I feel we lost a night by not being able to use it. Thirdly, we found cobwebs in the rooms, on the walls and lights hanging from the ceiling. We could not access the property till 4pm on the Friday due to cleaning but I felt the cottage was not sufficiently cleaned! My last point is check out time was 9 am Monday morning, I rang the owner a week beforehand to request a later check out, he asked me to request again on the Sunday before we leave on the Monday, which I did message him only to receive a message back saying "If I had known on Friday I could have changed it sorry" which did not make sense as I had spoken to him! I explained the situation again only to receive a message at 6:39 a.m. (the next day Monday) basically saying if we do not vacate the property I will be charged for late check out - I was upset, woken early by the message and confirmed we would leave by 9. At 7:10 a.m  I received another message informing us that we could stay till 1030 a.m as the plumber would be arriving. This is not how i wanted to end my weekend away. Please understand my family and I enjoyed the cottage, it is spacious, football table, pool table and hot tub but there is a lack of customer service. I have stayed at previous cottages on a family break and the owners have been attentive, checking in with us to ensure everything is ok and meeting our needs. I feel after this occasion I would not stay here again.

The property was clean, tidy and well presented.

The house is absolutely beautiful and all our guests loved it! There was plenty of seating and it had everything we could have wanted to host. Our only small issues were that there didn’t seem to be any separate recycling facilities and the outside bin was already full when we arrived. The key code was also not sent to us until 30 minutes after it said it would be despite calling and messaging the contact numbers that were sent to us. This would not stop us from booking Sunnymeade again!

We all had a fantastic time here, the children and adults loved the pool table, table football and hot tub.

It was a lovely surprise to find tea bags, biscuits, and coffee maker, also dish washer tablets. Great location , not far from Norwich, Horsey beach, Sheringham and Cromer which we visited. Also local shop and post office in walking distance, very quiet village with nice walks around the area.

Lovely house The facilities were great All my family had a wonderful time.

Little niggle the times of entry and leaving Couldnt get in until 4 and had to leave at 9 am With 10 adults 2 children and baby hard .going But overall a brilliant house

We had a superb stay over new year period, we were three families, all with children and the set up was great, the house is absolutely huge.

The bathrooms were basic, but for 3* this is as expected. The hot tub and pool table were nice bonus!! Great location! We would definitely stay here again!

The house was beautiful!

It was very warm and cosy when we arrived. We did have a small problem in the main lounge one evening when it got quite cold. We feel the showers and water situation was not great, no power and going hot and cold when having a shower. The dining table situation was not ideal and couldn't seat everyone properly. Also I think, although the pool table was a great asset it should be moved into the front sitting room, leaving the dining room with one big table. Generally we thoroughly enjoyed our stay though. Thank you

First I'd like to say we were very surprised this property only had a 3* rating as it is worth so much more.

We were a party of 5 ladies who all share a passion for crafting. We have just come back from an amazing 5 night stay in this property. The house is absolutely beautiful and so well equipped. (The only suggestion I would make on the kitchen equipment would be an addition of a hand blender and or a small food mixer, in the bathrooms one of these JML Hydro Wonder Grey mats they are hygienic and really are anti slip) The hot tub was an added bonus for us all, can't tell you how much we enjoyed it. We had 1 problem whilst we were there in as much as we had a power dip one evening that did something to the outside light, I contacted the owner and they were there shortly afterwards to fix the problem 100% satisfaction. Really hope we'll be able to come again. Thank you.

Excellent property for a gathering.

This is the 2nd year that we have stayed at the property and all have thoroughly enjoyed it. The pool table has been used for countless hours again. The fact that every room has a toilet is a bonus. The owners are always helpful. The local 'recruiting Seargeant' pub is a must for Sunday lunch.

Thank you so much for our stay at Sunnymeade.

We had the best weekend. The house is so spacious and so beautiful. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked. Cooking for 12 was not an issue. The hot tub, pool table and games room were amazing. A true highlight for us. There was also Bluetooth speakers dotted around the property and lovely little amenities (tea, coffee, biscuits, ice etc) which was a lovely touch. The only small negative is beds weren’t the most comfortable, especially in the bunk bed room. Also the check out time is rather early but we requested a later check-out and we kindly given one which was great. Everyone had a lovely time and we are definitely considering coming back next year.

Really beautiful a big house!

Sleeps 14 but only just, not 14 adults as the bunk beds were very difficult for adults to sleep in. Bunk beds were really uncomfortable also. Rest of the bedrooms were really nice and comfortable for all. Downstairs bedroom had a loud noise waking up guests every morning appeared to be something to do with the radiator or piping. The 9am check out was far too early for 14 Adults so it caused half of us to cut our holiday short and leave on the Sunday evening. Saturday a work man turned up to look at property behind, we were given no prior notice to this and as a group of ladies this was quite uncomfortable and also were unsure why someone was on the driveway! All in all a good house and owners have thought of everything that you would need for a break away!

This property is ideal for a large family or group.

. there is everything that you need in the kitchen to cook with an added bonus of a dishwasher. The bedrooms are cozy with freshly laundered sheets . Large lounge .. dining area . Laundry room with washing machine and tumble dryer . Jacuzzi which is emptied and refilled after every guest . Very central not far from the Norfolk broads and other areas of Norfolk .. Norwich a short drive away . We would certainly book this property again in the future .. Thank you Sunnymeade for a great stay .

Spacious, comfortable house with added bonus of a pool table and hot tub.

Great location, would definitely recommend.

Plenty of space indoors though not so much outdoor space for the children.

Clean and well-provided with separate places to sit, play and cook. However we had some problems with equipment; toilet cistern not working properly in twin room, broken small chair in kitchen, kettle too heavy to use easily causing one guest a scald and , as the weather was hot, no parasols in the garden or fans in the house.

Had a great time - fabulous house.

Thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. Owners were very quick to resolve a couple of issues with a shower and EV charger. The only drawback was the 9am departure time with so many trying to get ready. We would definitely recommend staying at Sunnymeade and would certainly return in the future.

Couldn’t have been happier with the house, it had everything we needed!

Pool table and hot tub was a massive hit with the kids.. house was very clean. We are planning our next years visit already.
