“Our second stay and as good as the last, sorry to have to come home.”

Fabulous weather, the golfers had a great time at the course across the road. Wonderful views of the course and can see the sea in the distance. A couple of minor issues - details left in comments book but nothing to spoil the holiday. I have back problems and struggled with the dining chairs but we found a chair in the garage and used that, so all was well. Would be very happy to come back - missing it already.

“I was worried due to a previous negative review.”

This was a special holiday with all our family. I spoke to the owner, what a lovely man and he assured me everything would be fine. . When we arrived we were really happy with the house. Ten of us, three generations had a fantastic time. Loads of space, the kids could play on their devices we could chill out in another room. The beds were comfortable and clean. The position of this house is great for getting about. It's called sunset view and they are beautiful to see. We will book again. Perfect.

Dinah June 2024

“Lovely large property close to the beach & amenities.”

Very clean throughout & lots of space for all of us. The garden at the back is a large enclosed area, which was great for our dogs as the house is on a main road. Really enjoyed our stay & hope to come back soon

“The size of the property was excellent, as was the location.”

Unfortunately the finish of the property overall was poor. Part of the decking on the master bedroom balcony was not fixed down (trip hazard) and there were rebates hanging off door casings. Bifold doors that don't close properly were another problem along with other issues too numerous to list. Cleanliness - the property would benefit from a deep clean (phos taken can back this up). When we arrived we swept the floor and a large amount of dog hair and dust was evident. The vacuum cleaner was blocked and stank of dog. Underneath furniture had not been swept for some time. Given the rating and cost of the property our expectations were high, however we were very disappointed overall with the standard of finish and cleanliness. You do not go to a holiday home and find you have to clean yourself before use.

“The house was a delight for a mixed age family gathering of 10 plus 2.”

5 pooches ( one was a dachshund!!) with break out areas if people needed space beautiful house beautiful views and good exercise for walk to the beach. George answered my queries we had prior to arrival and was very helpful.

“A fantastic house in a very convenient location.”

Great directions for getting there and for the key box. And there were some welcome food items and a bottle of fizz on arrival - nice! We had a wonderful time - thanks!

“This property is absolutely amazing!”

! The house is an exact configuration of what we needed bedroom-wise as we had 4 couples and 2 singletons plus 2 dogs. It was decorated for Christmas with a lovely tree, plus other Christmas decs and was really warm and cozy. It is the first time we have ever been away from our home in Scotland for Christmas and we did wonder if it would still feel like a family Christmas. It absolutely did! We came stocked up with board games and dvds. We didnt really need the dvds as the main tv here has Netflix and favourites like "it's a wonderful life" and "miracle on 34th st" were there. I can confirm 100% that the garden is dog proof!! We have a brittany dog with a hunt drive off the scale. She was totally secure in the garden. It is sealed right tight down to the ground all round. Great walk from house over golf course to beach. Dogs are allowed on the beach in Winter. Lots of other places a drive away but we do like to cozy in for Christmas so we didn't have a sightseeing holiday. We loved the downstairs rooms, so much space to split off to smaller groups or come together; rooms are big enough to do as you please. Parking outside the property excellent. Nearby Lidl and Tesco. We had a wonderful Christmas day dinner at The Ship Hotel, Brancaster but also put a lovely ham meal on the table in the property using the kitchen ovens . The only thing we did struggle to find was storage for our food! The fridge and freezer are plenty large enough but we couldn't find a cupboard. Being Christmas, we turned up with a £300 food shop direct fromTesco! We managed though. It was all absolutely amazing and cannot recommend highly enough. It's the first time we have spent Christmas with all our kids (adults) since 2014 and now the family has expanded with a new grandchild so to be able to get together for Christmas in this wonderful house was really special.

- Keith, December 2023

Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback, we're so pleased you had such a special Christmas in Sunset View! We will certainly take a look at making some more space in the cupboards, hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

Appreciated the early check in with the kids, thank you. Fence in the garden is a great addition.

Toni June 2023

“Sunset View is a beautiful house, very spacious, clean, comfortable.”

The bedroom configuration is perfect with a massive main bedroom with ensuite and balcony, and three lovely double bedrooms plus the twin, so many houses do not have this option and someone in our group of 7 ends up with a small bedroom but these were all good sizes. We had a small maintenance issue and George the owner, came immediately, with no disruption to our holiday and it was lovely to meet him. We will definitely stay in Sunset View again.

- Toni, June 2023

Thank you for providing your lovely feedback, we are so pleased to hear that you will be back and look forward to having you stay with us again. Property Owner
Malcolm May 2023

“A wonderful relatively new well maintained maintained property for combined holiday for three families to get together.”

Plenty of space so nobody got in anybody's way. Convenient for the beaches, although weather not all that conducive to lounging on the beach!!!!! Plenty of walks available though. A lovely holiday for all.

- Malcolm, May 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your holiday with us and hope you get some more sunshine next time you visit Norfolk! Property Owner

“The house itself and amenities didnt disappoint.”

However check in is 5pm which is late. We expected to walk into an emaculately clean house which wasn't the case. The Sun was beaming in through smeared windows and bi fold doors. Fridge cooker microwave and cupboard fronts mirrors still had hand marks and finger smears with smeared cloth marks in a slack effort to clean them. There was no welcome pack....! We have never been to an accommodation of yours which has not provided one and some have been outstandingly good. The grass was very long in the garden and just did not feel welcoming . We have stayed with Sykes because we have always had superb properties. I had to contact the owner as the bifold doors didn't shut properly and I was worried they would get ruined if forced. George was straight on the phone and I also mentioned the cleanliness and lack of welcome pack. He explained that there was a problem with the housekeepers car and she was upset she couldn't leave a welcome pack. Howevet she did turn up at 8 pm on Tuesday evening unexpectedly and said she would be round at 11 am the next day when the rest of our family were arriving i told her we were all going to lunch at the Manor down the road and she stated she was too busy to do it while we were out. So i said it was inconvenient for her to be there then. She didn't bring a welcome pack maybe a bunch of flowers maybe or a bottle of something to placate us would have been a nice gesture. The hoovers provided had not been emptied and smelt when used. I cleaned the windows that affected us whilst there....and the surfaces etc as I now didn't know if they had been done judging by what we found. This didn't spoil our holiday as I said the house was great however I don't expect to pay top money and be so disappointed

“George was very welcoming, friendly and helpful before and throughout the holiday.”

The house is very spacious and was ideal for our family Easter get away (6 adults, 4 kids + dog) - 1 week. Location is excellent, within walking distance of both Heacham village and Hunstanton (via the new estate). We had everything we needed in terms of utensils, shoe room, Sky TV and DVDs, good utility with washing facilities, storage in bedrooms. Just a couple of things to note which meant was unable to give 5 stars - BBQ hadnt been cleaned properly from the last time it was used (only realised when came to use it so had to use oven instead), living room furniture is a little dated and uncomfortable, seating in the garden is positioned in the shade - would be better at the top of the garden as garden is plenty big enough (or have both), again could be a bit better quality / luxury furniture outdoors to match the house. A welcome pack would be a nice touch, which seems to be standard with similar properties we've stayed in. If some of these minor points were adressed we would not hesitate booking here again!

Rebekah March 2023

“What an amazing house!”

Fantastic living area downstairs with room for everyone to have their own space. The cloakroom area is a great idea. The twin bedded room was invaluable for the make up of our family - we wouldn't have been able to stay otherwise. We didn't end up taking the dogs due to a misleading email from Sykes but I would have worried about the drop in the back garden for dogs racing round and forgetting themselves. Really hope we'll be able to revisit and yes, the sunsets from the balcony were as promised.

Mandy February 2023

“Our family enjoyed a wonderful stay at Sunset View.”

The house was spacious, modern, clean and had everything we needed. The views were lovely and the sunsets didn’t disappoint either. Communications with the owners were also excellent and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property.

- Mandy, February 2023
Emily December 2022

“We had a great stay, the house was lovely.”

The only drawback was the 5pm check in. We have small children so it was very late to get in and then arrange meals etc. It feels exceptionally late, especially when you have to check out at 10am on day of departure.

- Emily, December 2022
Julie August 2022

“Beautiful property.”

The downstairs is great for large groups as there is the ability to break off into smaller groups. The kitchen is good quality and v well equipped. I would recommend a fence or clear barrier around the big drop in the back garden. Upstairs, the beds are really good as are the bathrooms. However a couple more en suites are needed as getting 8 people through the family bathroom is tricky.

“A lovely stay- and there were indeed great sunsets!”

Lots of space, storage and well equipped.

“We loved the house and facilities, if anything it was better than the photos.”

The location was perfect being very close to a golf club. Supermarkets were only a short drive away as were many holiday attractions - the beach for children, stately homes and Norfolk Lavender for me and coastal restaurants. The BBQ probably needs a new grill so we didn't use it and the wine cooler didn't work, but there was plenty of room in the large fridge and freezer so it didn't cause us a problem. Would definitely like to stay here if we come back to Norfolk.

“Overall a lovely house Felt the glasses could have been more plentiful for the ...”

Overall a lovely house Felt the glasses could have been more plentiful for the amount of guests and of the same style only 2 gin glasses and an array of oddball sizes and lack of water glasses, no dustpan and brush, lacked large dishes for cooking, furnishings are tired in the main lounge and quite stained in the kitchen dining area, felt the garden would benefit from a permanent fence where the sheer drops around the steps area, found the heating to be a bit tiresome having to boost it to heat the lounges and bedrooms This is meant as constructive comment not moaning based on previous stays in other properties

- Robert, February 2022
Joanne December 2021

“Stunning property in a great location which feels relaxing and comfortable.”

Lovely family home which affords enough space if you want to take yourself off to read or be alone but also the space to all be together, if that makes sense :)

- Joanne, December 2021
Hannah November 2021

“Sunset view, Well what can I say it was an amazing place to stay it had every thing you needed for a family holiday.”

It was a lovely warm welcoming house and had a lovely atmosphere about it! Would love to book again for new year! Thank you! Hannah

“A lovely break in a wonderful house.”

One of our party couldnt make it in the end so even more space for the rest of us. Would definetly consider booking again, depending on the number of people and timings of holiday. The sunsets from the bedroom were wonderful even if it was the end of SEptember. Great stay..thanks very much .

“This house is amazingly huge.”

We had a party of eight and it very comfortably housed us all. The inside is nicely decorated with certain aspects of the property finished to a very high standard. The photos don't do it justice in terms of size. It also had decent broadband which we have found to be a rarity in holiday homes. The house does suffer from trapped heat so you'll want to open those wonderful bi-folding doors at the back, which instantly cools down the house. Also, we booked through Sykes Cottages who advertised it as 3 bathroom - it isn't. There are two very generously sized bathrooms and a downstairs cloakroom. This makes showering a large party slightly challenging, but then again, you're on holiday so what is the rush? The location is excellent if you are wanting to explore the North-West Norfolk region. Being at Heacham, which is west facing, the sunsets are wonderful to watch out the front of the house. I highly recommend this property and would definitely use it again.

“House very hot!”

Dishwasher had broken down. Owner needed access to property during our stay to install replacement. Replacement was not completely installed, it was not fully safe as dishwasherd oor was not installed. I discussed with owner. He accepted the criticism.

About the location

HEACHAM

Hunstanton 2.5 miles; King's Lynn 15 miles.

Heacham is a large village located on the West Norfolk coastline, on The Wash, boasting a lovely family friendly sandy beach, ideal for jet skis, kitesurfing and windsurfing. The village has many cottages built from Carstone, which is a feature of this part of Norfolk, and also offers a good range of shops, restaurants and country pubs. Within walking distance is Caley Hall, home to Norfolk Lavender with its sweet smelling lavender fields, and Heacham Hall, owned by John Rolfe, who brought his young bride Pocahontas to England to live at the hall (in the local church of St Mary you will find a memorial to her). This part of Norfolk is renowned for its abundance of birdlife throughout the year, with several local RSPB sites, while within easy driving distance is Pensthorpe Nature Reserve and Gardens, as seen on BBC's Springwatch. Nearby Hunstanton offers traditional seaside entertainment including a sealife centre, while The Queen's Sandringham Estate is just a 15 minute drive.
