“Lovely home, just a few issues, didn't spoil our holiday but want to be honest about what customers expect.”

Toilet seat in one of the ensuites was broken. The taps in the downstairs toilet are on the wrong way round. The showers do have mould in them which is easily removed. The taps have limescale on them which is also easily removed.I couldn't find any dusters or a full size sweeping brush to clean, so had to make do with the small one. The vacuum cleaner works but needs a good clean as it smells when you use it. It looks as if the cleaners only do a quick job and when we had to be out for 10am and ...

“An excellent property - very well equipped, very comfortable, extremely clean.”

It would appear that no expense has been spared in developing this property and we benefited from this. Sometimes listings can exaggerate but this listing was correct - it is only 5 minutes walk to the beach and 2 minutes to the nearest shop. We contacted the owner when the barbecue gas cylinder ran out - within half an hour, the cylinder was replaced - excellent service during our visit. Thank you!

“Good location, you can walk into town and to the beach.”

There’s a Premier mini supermarket round the corner. The house is roomy comfortable and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Hunstanton is a lovely resort and there are plenty of places not too far away to visit. Sandringham Estate and house is a 10 minutes drive and well worth a visit. Brancaster beach is really good, go early and park up for the day. There’s a good cafe and toilets at the beach. Really enjoyed the house and Norfolk.

“Beautiful cosy & comfortable house well equipped and appointed.”

Plenty of room for everyone. Loads of cutlery & crockery & big mugs! Great location for exploring the pretty villages & towns of North Norfolk and its fabulous coastline. The ground floor bedroom makes it a great house for a multi generational holiday. Highly recommended. Hope to return

“Parking on the drive was really awkward as the gravel was far too deep spilling out on the pavement.”

Other than a few areas of general maintenance probably not obvious to the cleaners. We had a good stay the property was well equipped and in a good location

“Great house for a family get together- it was ideal for 2-72 year olds.”

The location was perfect as we could easily walk into Hunstanton and the recreation ground was only 2 minutes away so the youngsters could go and let off steam and the dog could have a run.

“The Glass house was well equipped with all the facilities required the location is ideal in Hunstanton for accessing the town and its many activities the promenade is only a short stroll away whilst all the other areas of North Norfolk are within easy access.”

We had a fantastic week in the glasshouse very comfortableI even met the owner on departure who cut his own grass which is a nice touch. The only slight issue was the access to the driveway which is heavily gravelled and was quite difficult but the owner advises us that this is to be replaced very soon. All in all an excellent holiday experience.

“The biggest problem is dealing with Sykes themselves.”

Emails are not responded to and the phone lines were either constantly engaged or went to answer phone. Thankfully the local caretaker contacted me and I dealt with him direct.
