Is the water on a timer because it made a really loud noise in the loft between 1&3in THE MORNING you could not sleep through it if you were in the twin room,such a shame it would probably stop us booking again.

“We very much enjoyed our stay at Woodpecker Cottage.”

The property was very clean and well presented on arrival, and we had a very pleasant week staying there. The owners were very helpful previously when I made a mistake with our booking, for which I was very grateful. Woodpecker Cottage is a lovely cottage in a great location, and suited the two of us and our aged dog very well. We would be happy to book again.

- Stephen, April 2023

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are pleased you had a lovely time at Woodpecker Cottage and that you enjoyed the surrounding countryside/coast. Kind Regards Property Owner

“Absolutely lovely little cottage.”

Very well situated for exploring the North Norfolk coast, and surrounded by excellent places to eat. We wouldn’t hesitate to rebook for our next visit to the area.

- Eileen, March 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We look forward to you returning when you next visit the area. Thanks also for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy. It is much appreciated. Kind Regards . Property Owner

“NICE CABIN, AS IS WAS PROMISED, BUT MISSING CERTAIN AMENITIES THAT SEEM SIMPLE TO THE FREQUENT TRAVELLER.”

NO TOILET PAPER ON SITE, TV DID NOT WORK AT ALL, OUTLETS FOR ELECTRONICS FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. KITCHEN WAS GOOD BUT COULD USE A DISHWASHER. BEDS OK. BATHROOM AND SHOWER WERE GOOD.

- Brent, December 2022

Thank you for your feedback. The couple of issues you mention would most certainly have been dealt with immediately had we been notified about it. After seeing this feedback, the TV has been checked and our current guests have no problem with it. Regards Property Owner

Steve October 2022

“The uncomfortable mattress gave very little sleep to the point of making you ache during the day.”

Very warm and well equipped cottage. Garden area and off road parking a huge bonus. Pretty cottage. Quiet location. Beautiful walks and wildlife. Concerned about lack of telephone signal for health and safety. TV only worked on BBC1. No other functionality available. The only reason we would not go back to this cottage was the uncomfortable bed and no sleep. Thank you for the welcome pack too.

Keith October 2022

“Woodpecker is a lovely holiday cottage with everything we could need.”

We would definitely recommend it to our friends and we very much hope to return in the spring/summer so we could use the garden more to eat/relax in.

- Keith, October 2022

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are pleased that you had a lovely holiday and enjoyed your stay. We look forward to you returning in the Spring or Summer so that you can enjoy the lovely enclosed pretty garden during the day and in the warmer evenings Regards Property Owner

“The cottage was ideally situated and the enclosed garden was great for our dog.”

The cottage was clean and welcoming on our arrival with easy parking outside the gate. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend Woodpecker cottage to anyone wanting to visit the north Norfolk area.

- Michael, June 2022

Thank you very much for your feedback and recommendation to others. We are glad that you and your' dog enjoyed your stay at Woodpecker Cottage. Regards Property Owner
Jess May 2022

“We had a great week at woodpecker cottage, probably one of the best properties we’ve booked through Sykes.”

The bed was comfy, we both slept well every night which is unusual for me on holiday. The kids liked their bedroom too and said the beds were comfy. Lots of space to put all your clothes, wardrobe and drawers. We did turn the internet hub around so it faced the wall as the glow from it was quite bright in the bedroom at night. The internet was super fast so that was great for FaceTime as there was no mobile signal. The garden was very pretty and enclosed so safe for the little people. Although the road had hardly any cars coming through anyway and it’s 20mph limit so was really peaceful. Appreciated that there was an extension lead in the bedroom as the plug was too far away from the mirror for drying hair. Little things like that make such a massive difference. We do need to apologise to the people who clean it as we forgot to empty the last bits out the fridge and food cupboard. I thought he had done it but we realised half way home that neither of us had. Not intentional and so sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused! Thank you, The Maddams family.

Thank you very much for your lovely feedback. We are glad that you and your family had a great time and that you enjoyed your stay at Woodpecker Cottage, Kelling. Kind Regards Property Owner

“Excellent..except TV needs a sort out”

- David, May 2022

Thank you for your review; I am pleased that you had a lovely break and found Woodpecker Cottage to be a property you would like to return to. I will contact you once the new dates are available for next year. Regards Property Owner
Bill May 2022

“This was a lovely little cottage, in a beautiful area.”

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing week. The only minor quibble we had, was that the recycling bin was full to overflowing on arrival, and wasn't emptied till the day before we left, which was a nuisance. We realise that was down to the local authorities collection being fortnightly, but perhaps some extra bags/bins could be arranged? Other than that, top marks. We'd definitely come again.

- Bill, May 2022

Thank your very much for your feedback. We are glad you had a lovely time at Woodpecker Cottage. We will make sure that the bins are checked regularly in between collections. We look forward to you returning to Woodpecker Cottage. Kind Regards Property Owner
Janette March 2022

“All was very good, except unable to find station on TV even after re tuning although managed to get dvd to play, batteries need to be checked in all remote controls as one only had 1 battery.”

Think someone had used it previously in their equipment. Could have done with some spare blankets especially if cold weather, don't know if this was down to covid. But would definitely come back.

- Janette, March 2022

We are so glad you had a lovely time at Woodpecker Cottage. It is such a shame that you didn't call anyone as suggested in the Information folder if you should have any issues, as the TV issue could have been dealt with very quickly. As soon as I was notified of your note on departure I resolved the problem very easily. I will ensure that spare batteries are still available. Thank you very much for your feedback. We look forward to you returning to Woodpecker Cottage. Best Regards. Property Owner
Craig February 2022

“Clean modern cottage in a great location close to the coast and several villages and market towns.”

Great for walking, nature, wildlife and cycling which is what we did (although no storage for bikes we managed to squeeze two into the kitchen). Absolutely stunning countryside for miles around. The only negative is that the double bed was uncomfortable as the mattress was too soft although some might prefer this. Despite this we would stay there again as the location is spot on!

- Craig, February 2022
Scott February 2022

“The cottage was absolutely lovely.”

Had a little bit of trouble getting into the property but that was resolved very quickly. The cottage was very clean and the refurbished living area was stunning. The cottage was warm and offered the perfect short getaway. The wife would definitely love to return. The location of the property allowed us to venture out to the east and west of the Norfolk coast on different days.

“Although the cottage was clean well equipped and lounge furniture comfortable the beds were not.”

It was nice having a welcoming pack. Location of cottage was excellent. Nice garden to run about in.

- David, November 2021
Andrew October 2021

“Excellent little cottage perfectly located for exploring the beautiful north Norfolk coast.”

The cottage is equipped with everything you need to have a very comfortable stay and was very clean, comfortable and warm throughout (except possible the bathroom which is a little tired and had a very fusty shower mat which made the whole cottage smell a little fusty until it was removed to the shed). The things we particularly liked was the fact that there are several great walks straight from the door and the area has some excellent restaurants and cafe's, not least the Reading Rooms which are 50 metres from the back door
