Timbers

Looking at previous reviews nothing has been done about the loose rusty shower rail which could at any time fall off.

the general decor needs refurbing especially the kitchen and bathroom. Nobody would put up with this in there own home.its a shame because the layout and situation work well with good parking and views.

Property in need of some TLC, minor issues nothing major.

I have contacted the owner of the property and explained our issues and they stated they would address them. Hopefully they will as this could be a beautiful property. Views are amazing and the beach is only a 5 min walk. Stones beach but there are lovely open fields above the beach. Nice a quiet, lots of wildlife to see, deers, hares, pheasant, bats.

We enjoyed our holiday in Weybourne, the property was well situated, but the kitchen and bathroom is in need of updating.

There was no information pack available. Parking facility was really good and the property boasted nice views towards the sea.

The property is in a great location, but it feels somewhat unloved by the owner.

This manifested itself when we arrived and the property still had not been cleaned following the previous guests leaving (dirty towels, unmade beds, etc). It was 6pm by the time the cleaners had arrived and cleaned the property to a rather basic standard. Speaking with the owned he offered £100 as compensation, but this never materialised. Overall this could be a nice property with more care, attention, maintenance and cleaning…

We had a great week in this lovely cottage.

plenty of room and a great view. The local pub serves great food but booking is recommended any night.

The location of the house was perfect.

In a beautiful little village with a lovely cafe and pub. Walk to the beach only 10 minutes. Perfect place if travelling with a dog. The house was comfortable and cozy. Very central for visiting Wells, Brancaster or Sheringham and Cromer.

We love staying at Timbers as it’s a great location for dog walks, dog friendly pub & cafe & well equipped & spacious.

However we were left with no washing up liquid, no dish cloth, no tea towel or oven gloves & no loo roll! Very disappointed so won’t be staying there again.

We were a little apprentice, having read some of the previous reviews, but what we found was a delightfully comfortable and clean cottage.

We loved it, and it was perfect for our needs. We spent long hours looking out the window at the deer, hares and various birds who used the land in front of the house.

The location and building is absolutely stunning, however the property can only be described as filthy on our take up resulting is us having to go to Tesco and buy cleaning products to get the important bits clean.

The general decor of the property can only be described as tired where it now needs a good fresh up and make over, along with a real good clean. It wasn't a cheap weeks rental but whatever it should still be clean, for the money I paid was disappointed to the point we were ready to come back home on the Sat of arrival !. However we bought it around to a point of OK (ish) and made the best of the week. The location is stunning and could not be better placed, just the property needs bringing up to scratch. A real shame.

Needs a refurbishment and deep cleaning.

Very dusty. Kitchen bin had some kind of gloop at the bottom under the bag. Shower head rail hanging off the wall at the top. Kitchen cupboards were dirty inside.

This could be a very nice holiday letting, The owners really need to look at who cleans this property, it really needs a deep clean and soon.

Chipped plates and dirty cups on arrival which had to be washed clean. Step outside needs attention before someone hurts themselves. Timbers sigh needs to be reattached to the wall. ( it only takes a couple of screws ) Insufficient plates and cutlery, stained sheets and dust on most heaters and under the log burner. Shower head needs attention before it falls off the wall This could be a very nice property with a bit of TLC Brilliant Location for the beach and pub.

We stayed at the timbers as a family of 6.

Stay was good overall however a few things need improving on in my opinion. First thing is amount of cutlery and plates etc. Not enough for a family of 6 and some were chipped and need replacing. Lot's of dust everywhere, especially on the heaters. Greasy hand prints on the tv. Beds upstairs sheets were stained and rubbish was left feom previous people, including ear plugs and an eye mask. Luckily there were screws under the tv so i could fix the bathroom door handle which kept falling off each use. A fly trap would be usefull as anytime a window was open loads of flies joined us. Biscuits and coffee was waiting upon arrival. A short 10 minute walk to the beach was nice and local bakery was nice also. The timbers did the job just about but we will look elsewhere next time as for the money we paid we feel we could do better on cleanliness etc.

Timbers is in a lovely location with interesting wildlife visible from the cottage including hares, deer, Red Kites and many other bird species.

We were also delighted to see Sand Pipers nesting in the sandy cliffs on the beach. There are several local walks including a lovely 3 mile walk to the town of Sherringham. It was really useful to be able to walk to both the local coffee shop and the Ship Inn. There are several National Trust sites nearby, including Sherringham Park and Felbigg Hall and Estate. The Muckleburgh Military collection is also well worth a visit. Regarding Timbers itself, the accommodation is comfortable, however the kitchen and upstairs bedrooms are rather compact, which might need to be considered if booking for 6 adults.

Timbers occupies an enviable position in Weybourne with uninterrupted views toward the sea, has ample off road parking and should make a fantastic base from which to explore the many attractions North Norfolk has to offer.

However, what we found was a property in desperate need of some TLC. Immediately we noticed that the "Timbers" nameplate was on the floor rather than fixed to the wall as in the listing pictures and one of the steps up to the terrace was loose. On entry, we were greeted with a set of used wet towels from the previous occupants. There was no information folder so no instructions for the appliances, no recommendations on eating places or useful contact numbers etc.... Following is a list of items that need attention: Lounge: TV disappointingly small for this price point Very dusty in places eg on tops of storage heaters Bathroom Gaps under skirting boards need sealing Shower rail pulling out from wall Light pull cord needs replacing Door latch missing a screw from guide bracket Basin and bath plugs do not retain water Hot water from basin tap only trickles out Kitchen: No bin liners provided Not enough washing up liquid to last the week Not enough dinner plates for 6 people Many items of crockery chipped Bedroom: Mattress protectors worn out and stained. Decent clothes hangers in wardrobes required No pole for opening the Velux windows I note that many of the items listed above have been mentioned in previous reviews so it's very disappointing that no action seems to take place. In conclusion, I believe this property in its current condition is well overpriced, but despite all it's failings, it still has the potential for an enjoyable stay in Weybourne!

Definitely NOT worthy of 4 tick rating and over-priced.

Entire place needs a deep-clean and good maintenance check-up. Whilst kitchen was well equipped, some cupboards are musty, pots and pans and utensils are dirty so had to be washed before use. The bathroom is less than 2 star, dirty, poorly maintained, needs new toilet seat, shower rail and good repaint. Double bed... pillows and mattress protector were disgusting with yellow/brown stains. There is no information about anything (bins, parking, local area, equipment booklets, Guest Book) and please remove or replace the grubby books in the window. And finally... owners... please read and action Guest reviews as we're paying good money to stay in your property so expect better especially for a listed '4' tick rating... so for example previous guest mentions "who took the teaspoons?"... FOUR, yes there are just 4 mismatched teaspoons!!! One plus point... great location for beach and village!

Overall we had a really enjoyable stay.

Only three things need a little bit of attention. 1.The shower bracket is coming off the wall and could do with fixing. 2. The toilet is in need of a new seat. 3. The temperature of the hot water needs dialling down some what as when it gets to temperature it is scolding. These are superficial and mainly cosmetic however. I would recommend people to stay here. 8/10

The this is our 2nd stay at Timbers which is ideal for dog walks,lovely cafe & great foodie pub.

Very well equipped kitchen & spacious accommodation. Unfortunately we had to buy bin liners, kitchen scourer & a bag of logs as only one in basket.

We loved Timbers location/setting: 400m from the beach and views of the sea.

Log burner with logs provided was lovely and made for cosy evenings in. Walks from the door in every direction and great local pub. We could not get the grill to work. Who nicked all of the teaspoons and black mark for no cafetiere...oh dear - the teapot and strainer made a terrible mess. That said, we would return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Timbers.

It made a lovely base for our walking and birdwatching activities. Thank you.

At this price level the facilities were somewhat lacking.

The general layout and use of available space was good but I would not recommend the property for very young children due to the number of steps in the property. This would be apparent from inspection of the photographs. It would be useful if a gate could be provided at the top of the access steps to make the decking area secure. Unfortunately lack of space meant there was no clothes dryer or dishwasher which would be expected at this rental level. The lower bedroom was also rather small. The internal decoration was tired and dog nail scratches were evident on the bedroom door. In the bathroom movement of the keys had worn off an area of paint below the keyhole and the flow of hot water was very slow. The rail supporting the shower head was insecure and requires repair. In the upper bedroom my daughter's sleep was interrupted by movement of something on the Velux type window which made a tapping noise when the wind was blowing. The major problem was the possiblity of mouse/rat infestation as mousetraps were present in the upper bedroom on the seaward side of the building. My daughter did not wish to move into this bedroom for this reason. It is a shame the items detailed above perhaps presented a somewhat negative situation as the owners had obviously made efforts with the Welcome package to make settling in as easy as possible and the exterior maintenance was very good. During our stay the windows were cleaned and the grass cut.

The cottage is comfortable and well-equipped and is in a lovely, peaceful location with views to the sea.

The village has a good pub and a useful shop which are both dog-friendly!

The cottage was really lovely.

We thought the views and facilities were first class. The biscuits and milk were really appreciated, thank you. The location is superb, and lovely and quiet. There is a pub and local shop within minutes. (Both highly recommended). The beam on the floor, in the upstairs bedrooms took a bit of getting used to, but it was all right in the end. And this is just an observation:.. the hot water although extremely hot, only came out of the tap very slowly. The shower was very good though and as we are getting on a bit now, a rail to hold on to would help. However, these things were minor and we would definitely recommend Timbers as an excellent holiday home. 10/10 Thank you

Lovely place with view over the sea.

Very nice dog friendly cafe and pub in very close walking distance. Easy access to Cromer and Blakeney and many other Norfolk resorts. Accommodation was warm, very comfortable and clean. Great for our small dog, easily tired out on walks. Options : intro to area and facilities pack may be nice, I know many will use the internet as a source. One step coming loose just needs resetting / pointing. Fence around outdoor platform splitting with sharp points should children be playing.
