    “The lady we met at the door was nice.”

    But the accommodation was not clean. The kitchen was filthy. The microwave smelled awful and was still dirty. The cooker doesn't look like it's been cleaned for some time.

    But the accommodation was not clean. The kitchen was filthy. The microwave smelled awful and was still dirty. The cooker doesn't look like it's been cleaned for some time. Cobwebs everywhere, plaster coming off the wall in the bathroom and when we stripped the beds, as asked to do before we left, the mattress protectors were dirty and the pillows were also dirty. I couldn't take my dogs as the garden wasn't secure enough, however, when booking I was told it was secure. Cottage was very hot as your in the roof so could do with air con, didn't want to open windows in case they fell out (very mouldy) and another bathroom or just toilet would have been good. Just to note that if I had known it was through sykes, I would not have booked it.

    I'm absolutely devastated at this feedback. If you had just come over and spoken to me I would have done my utmost to put things right. We are aware of the little patch of plaster in the bathroom and it is due to be fixed. To describe the kitchen as "filthy" however is grossly unfair. The cooker is cleaned at each changeover. The hob was clean and the oven door and shelves were clean so I'm not sure what the problem was. The windows are safe and opened regularly. We have never stated that the garden is fenced, so I'm not sure who told you it was. If you want a property with more than 1 toilet then you should check this first. There is no room for another toilet and we have never stated there are 2 toilets. I am really sorry you did not enjoy your stay. I thought that when you sitting in the garden drinking the wine provided for you that you were enjoying it. If you have a problem with Sykes then please talk to them. Property Owner

About the location

GAYTON

King's Lynn 7 miles; Swaffham 10 miles.

The small Norfolk village of Gayton is surrounded by charming, open countryside, and yet is within easy reach of the coast, offering two shops, a fish and chip shop and a pub, and host to a prominent historic windmill. Gayton lies seven miles to the east of the popular market town of King’s Lynn, which still retains the character, charm and many traditional buildings of its original function as a medieval port, set along its winding streets. With a mixture of old and new structures, King’s Lynn provides excellent amenities including a modern shopping centre, art galleries, museums, two theatres and its iconic Customs House. From Gayton, the North Norfolk Coast is within easy reach and will appeal to many, with its expansive golden sandy beaches, coastal walks and cycleways, RSPB reserves and nearby Sandringham House and Estate, Oxburgh Hall and Houghton Hall.

Note - There is a pond in the shared gardens.
