“Thank you for helping us make such wonderful memories!”

We are a group of Mums with all our kids ages ranging from 7 - 10 and every year we have a ‘Big House’ trip where we all hang out together, enjoy sharing big communal meals and we always go places with lots of local beaches to blow away the cobwebs and for the kids to enjoy the outdoors. This year did not disappoint!!! In fact we all agree it was the best yet!!!

We are a group of Mums with all our kids ages ranging from 7 - 10 and every year we have a ‘Big House’ trip where we all hang out together, enjoy sharing big communal meals and we always go places with lots of local beaches to blow away the cobwebs and for the kids to enjoy the outdoors. This year did not disappoint!!! In fact we all agree it was the best yet!!! With the 2 lounges, the games room & the big kitchen table we were able to all be together and also have space to spread when we needed it! With that many children we need space! We especially liked that all the rooms had their own shower facilities, that we could access the back in our soggy and dirty beach stuff and use the utility room to get everything washed without sand ending up in our rooms, and that the house was really warm and cosy. After a day at the beach we made use of board games, quiet spaces to read, movies on in different rooms, and the pool table was a great hit! Kitchen facilities were great, especially the giant pots, dishwasher, and the all important coffee machine! Mum heaven! The locality was amazing. Walking into town was easy, and the beach at Old Hunstanton was gorgeous with many other classic Norfolk spots nearby such as Holkham, Wells-next-the-Sea, and Sandringham (which has an awesome play area and you only pay for parking!). Unfortunately we didn’t realise you need to book the oasis pool that has slides etc for fun, but instead we found a private hire pool which was reasonably priced and worth the value as we had it all to ourselves! We will definitely be back!!! Thanks

“Comfort:- Bed in Field was very creaky and everytime you turned over it woke you up!”

No complaints about any other bed, I was in Oriental and loved it

- Heather, February 2023

Hi, We are so sorry about the creaky bed! We will look to get that changed as soon as we can. We hope the rest of your visit was great. Best Regards, Chris and Victoria Property Owner

“Your house is wonderful.”

Starting with the great location just a short walk away from the beach, town and pubs, but quiet and with a comfortable interior. The huge kitchen table is great focus for games/meals etc and the kitchen is fully equipped. Every room is spacious and well designed, I had a much better night’s sleep than in my own bed! The games room is a huge bonus and with 10 adults, 2 babies and 2 dogs we have had the most fabulous family weekend without feeling squashed top of each other. Lovely to arrive to a hamper basket of goodies and communication has been speedy and very friendly. I really cannot recommend this house enough. Thank you so much, we have incredible memories that we will treasure.

- Michaela, December 2022

Thank you so much for the lovely comments we are very pleased to hear you had a great time and made some great memories to treasure. Come back anytime Victoria and Chris Property Owner

“11 of us stayed for a weekend to celebrate my husband’s birthday.”

The house was warm comfortable and had everything needed.my only issue was I contacted Sykes via email and phone with the way we wanted the beds made up but this obviously wasn’t forwarded to the property owners. That aside I would recommend this property for a family gathering.

- Beverley, November 2022

Thank you so much for your feedback we are sorry the set up wasn't quite right but very glad to hear you had a comfortable and warm house to celebrate your husband's birthday. in We would love to welcome you back anytime. Victoria and Chris Property Owner

“The house was nice and spacious, with all the necessary utilities provided.”

The games room was especially a hit with the kids. Great proximity to the beach and other attractions. The host was very helpful and quick to respond to any needs. Would definitely recommend and will go back again next summer.

“Large well appointed property, very noisy plumbing and beds!”

Some bits getting a bit dated but maintenance was prompt.Good welcome pack and lots of helpful notes and items. Great position.Easy on street parking.

“Positives: Plenty of room.”

Parking. Games room was a real hit with the family. Very well equiped kitchen, ice making fridge, speakers. Some nice touches like beach towels and welcome pack. Negatives: Finish of floor tiles, positioning of light switches behind doors. We had a few maintenance issues which took the shine off of the stay. However, the owners worked hard to sort the problems which were all resolved by the end of our week.

- John, August 2022

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback we really value the insight and helps us to sort out any problems. We are so glad the family enjoyed the games room and hope you have some happy memories from Maples. Come back anytime. Victoria and Chris Property Owner

“We loved our stay at Maples.”

The house was fantastic, it had everything we needed and the location was perfect. We were 7 adults, 5 children and 2 dogs and we didn’t get under each other’s feet once as there is so much space in the house. The room for the dogs was great and there were stair gates on each set of stairs (top and bottom) which was perfect for our 2 year old. The welcome hamper was such a lovely touch as was the information pack and when we had a little issue with the shower it was sorted the same day. Chris and Victoria were super quick at getting back to me and really lovely and helpful. Booking through Sykes Cottages was easy and we had all relevant information way before our stay. We’ll definitely be recommending Maples to family and friends and I’m sure we’ll be there again soon.

- Jemima, July 2022

We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your holiday! Once again apologies for the shower breakdown and thanks for your flexibility with the plumber to get it fixed. We hope to host you again soon. Chris and Victoria. Property Owner
Jane June 2022

“Maples well it is an absolutely superb property.”

So well equipped and has everything you could possibly need. The kitchen is such a great social space and cooking and eating was a real pleasure. We didn’t really go into either of the comfortable living rooms as there was no need .The phone charging station again just so thought through with every type of charger you could need . All the rooms with the ensuite bathrooms just made it really comfortable for us all. We were greeted with a really nice welcome hamper which was very generous and thoughtful. Just a short walk from the cliffs and the beach again ideal. As a group of friends we only stayed for two nights but we all agreed we would have wished we could have stayed for longer and certainly will be rebooking . the size of the property is just phenomenal an Aladdin’s cave of comfortable rooms - it would be perfect for larger family get togethers . The games room was a real treat , again there’s been a great deal of thought and consideration . We all agreed we had a comfortable nights sleep with no moans about mattresses being too soft or too firm . Can’t praise this property enough and would highly recommend it .

- Jane, June 2022

Thank you Jane, we are very happy to hear that you had a super time and very glad to hear you enjoyed the goodies. Come back and stay longer next time. Chris and Victoria Property Owner

Sarah April 2022

“We have a great stay here for a long weekend with the extended family.”

The house was perfect for us with all the children and felt very spacious. It was so close to the beach and the play area and the shops etc - great location. The house was clean and tidy and the beds very comfortable. The host made good contact beforehand to ensure it was all set up as we wanted. Would definitely come back.

- Sarah, April 2022

Lesley April 2022

“Absolutely fabulous house we were 10 adults, a 4 year old and a baby every facility to suit us all.”

The games room was a great bonus, the reading landing was superb for the 4 year old who claimed it as her space. Barely a 10 minute walk to all facilities.
