“The stay was perfect, we loved staying there it was a real novelty and it's a lovely grounds I did feel disappointment that a gardener came mid-way during our stay to mow the lawn.”

My sentiment is that it could have been done on arrival and departure days 9am-3pm. We were only there 4 days so one day gardening feels like loss. Anyway not to take it away from the rest it was great otherwise. .

“On arrival at the property we gained access through the side door first impression of the property were good, after I unpacked I noticed the upstairs shower was quite stained around the edges which didn't look good.”

Our first evening was quite eventful we sat down to watch the TV which was a good size television only to notice a mouse running around the room after around 10 minutes I managed to let the mouse out through the patio doors.As far as the appliances ie : Oven, fridge, microwave they were very good the kitchen table was excellent size ,in the lounge the seats were very comfortable. Overall the property was fairly good my only other criticism is we should have been made aware there was building work next door to be fair to the builders they didn't start to early and finished at a reasonable time. I would book again because it is still a nice property and makes a excellent base to explore Norfolk.

Perfect for our needs.

“Lovely, well equipped family place, the childrens toys were especially enjoyed by our grandchildren.”

there were a coulple of problems but these were very promptly fixed by the gardener, in fact when we noticed the gas bottle for the BBQ was empty he came and replaced it within an hour.

Gary July 2022

“A lovely holiday cottage situated in a great location for days out.”

The property is clean and tidy and well equipped. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying at Oakhill again.

Tracy June 2022

“We had a really lovely time, it was a nice surprise finding all the childrens crockery etc and the garden toys were a big hit.”

We didn’t realise there would be high chair and travel cot so brought our own so it might be helpful if these were listed to save others bringing their own. Really pleased it also had stairgate at top. Grandson loved feeding the fish thank you for providing food and the cockerel and chickens were a huge favourite.

Dilys June 2022

“We spend a fabulous week at Oakhill with our children and grandchildren-4 under 5's.”

It was the perfect place to spend a relaxing week. The children all loved the space and play equipment in the garden and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the woods. Feeding the fish became a morning ritual for the 2 older grandchildren. It's close proximity to Tesco, Lidl and numerous beautiful beaches and other places to visit made it the perfect spot for our family holiday.

“Property has been badly neglected.”

A thorough deep clean of everything inside and an upgrade to the kitchen would be beneficial. Instruction manuals, in some cases, do not match the electrical products! The situation of the property is ideal, it is a restful area and the outside is in good order and well maintained.

- John, May 2022
Grace April 2022

“A beautiful, well equipped and accessible property.”

The thoughtful items, from garden toys to a first aid kit were a welcome addition to our stay.

“Lovely property with clear instructions on how to use amenities.”

Would recommend and return to again.

Milena December 2021

“We really enjoyed our stay at the property at Christmas 2021.”

The cottage is well maintained, clean and cosy and it is obvious that a lot of thought has been put into every little detail. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a lovely big garden with swings and playing equipment for the kids, a wooded area at the back which they can explore, gas barbeque and garden table. Shops and amenities are near by and the area is great for walks. We would be happy to stay there again in the future.

Susan November 2021

“As this was late November we really appreciated the excellent radiators and lots of hot water.”

The house was really warm and we had to turn off some radiator at times. The house had everything we needed for cooking. We had a longish walk to a local pub for dinner but it was excellent and very friendly. There are plenty of supermarkets in driving distance. A good sized drive made it easy to park more than our 2 cars. Heacham is a good location for Snettisham and RSPB Titchwell. It is also only 30 minutes to Kings Lynn and the railway station.

Karen October 2021

“We had a great time at Oakhill Lodge.”

The garden was huge and the kids loved playing with all the equipment. The showers were good and there was plenty of space for 8 of us.

- Karen, October 2021
Doug August 2021

“Excellent facility - everything as listed in publicity.”

Garden far exceeded expectations together with wooded area - paradise for kids. Whilst the Fixtures & Fittings are a bit dated it does not detract from the amenity - in fact it provides a stress free environment for families not having to worry about damage.

- Doug, August 2021
Lauren July 2021

“The house and location were perfect.”

It truly was a home away from home with so many toys for the children, all the cooking items you could need and an amazing garden. Would definitely stay again.

- Lauren, July 2021
David July 2021

“Great holiday cottage with fabulous garden.”

Ideal for a family with young children. Beach in Heacham walkable - just!. Sandringham 15mins in the car. Hunstanton and beautiful Norfolk east coast close by. Supermarket 2mins away by car. Only issue was crossing the busy A149 on foot.

- David, July 2021
Sandra October 2020

“A really lovely holiday cottage with a big garden, with unexpected animals included.”

We enjoyed feeding the very many fish in the pond and seeing the chickens popping in from next door and even a deer popped in. Close to Norfolk Lavender which has a good cafe and served a lovely Sunday roast and a small animal park too. Enjoyed our stay, clean and comfortable beds.

“Great location, house was fab and the garden was great.”

- Marcus, October 2020
Carol September 2020

“We loved our stay at Oakhill feeding the fish & chickens.”

Exploring the garden. Being so close to Norfolk Lavender we could hear the peacocks. The only downside of the property it looks full up for next year, we would have loved to stay at oakhill again.

- Carol, September 2020
Andrea August 2020

“The garden is superb and safe for children with added bonus of a wooded area at the back of the garden.”

Our grand children loved it.

- Andrea, August 2020
Glyn July 2020

“Fantastic well equipped house.”

Owners have thought of everthing you might need. The garden is well kept with plenty of garden furniture and toys for the children and even a gas BBQ. Location was perfect for us on the outskirts of the village with plenty of amenities and not far from the beach. Lots of walks from the cottage and many attractions within a short drive. Would highly recommend this property.

Shafiq February 2020

“I loved the fact that there were board games in the lounge upstairs where us adults sat down and played during the poor weather.”

There were rackets and bats for the outdoor equipment like the tetherball and such, but due to the cold and wet weather we did not take part of the activity outside. The master bedroom terrace was lovely with the outdoor chairs and table laid out for us. Overall it was a lovely experience for us to try bond alot more with eachother, loved the stay, really cosy!!! Thank you Sykes Cottages!
