“This is a beautiful cottage in a great location.”

Lovely garden enclosed to keep pets and children safe. Shops, park beach close by. However, it was not cleaned to a satisfactory level. We love to cook and the cooker / grill were not clean. The kettle was not clean , we discaled it ourselves which is not what you expect on your holiday. There was issues with the toilets which kept getting stuck .WiFi not great. Also there is a step in the garden to the left which has broken. We stripped the beds and found a stain on the double bed we slept ...

Also there is a step in the garden to the left which has broken. We stripped the beds and found a stain on the double bed we slept in. Unfortunately people can be very negative in their comments on any property. These are just our thoughts on the property and as renters ourselves we hope the owners are not offended by these comments.

- Gina, April 2023

Glad you enjoyed the cottage and location. We have passed on your comments with regards the cleaning to the company we use. The Wi-Fi we have not had problems , three teenagers will vouch for that. Unfortunately we cannot do much to improve it as Mundesley is a rural location and we after your comments we have asked for better speed and we were informed that it is the maximum for that area.

“Flinstone Cottage is a very comfortable property which is in a very good position within walking distance of the sea and the pub!”

“Nice cottage and location with a few niggles.”

No hand soap is unusual, it’s something we would expect to have these days. The key safe is difficult to access for anyone with mobility issues or arthritis in their hands. The vacuum is very old, noisy and smells awful. More crockery would help reduce the amount of dishwasher runs. The twin bedroom light flickers badly. The sheets and pillowcases are nice and everyone said their bed was comfortable. Other places I have stayed have been more welcoming and considerate with things like salt and pepper, vinegar and sauces available to use, a pint of milk in the fridge, nice hand soap etc. I have had eight or more requests to complete feedback starting from the week before we went and a ‘ How was your stay’ a day before we left. Please stop sending them.

- Sonia, November 2022

Thank you for feedback and glad you enjoyed your stay. We will feedback to Sykes re. Soap etc and Email feedback, sorry nothing to do with us on the internet front but will take up with the booking company! The property caters for 7 but there should be crockery / cutlery for 12? We trust previous Rentals to replace if break/take so apologies if you found not sufficient . With regards condiments it’s not the norm to supply unless request when booking. We offer a welcome pack anything above that you need to do via the booking through the company. Hope you will visit again. Property Owner

“We enjoyed our stay at Flintstone, the property was very comfortable, one of the king size beds was found to be less comfortable and so one of us ended up in a single bed.”

The village of Mundesley was lovely out of season, very restful and ideal for exploring the area. We used the conservatory quite a bit as it was light and airy and a good place for our dog to chill out in.

- Wendy, October 2022

Thank you for your feedback and we are glad that you enjoyed your visit. We visited the property ourselves in October and checked the mattresses/put a new mattress topper on one of the king size beds! We will feedback to the maintenance team. Property Owner

“Lovely cottage situated in a fabulous location.”

The village has all the amenities we needed. The cottage catered for our needs, being two adults and a small dog. The garden was ideal for her to play in and was secure. would go again.

Michael September 2022

“Excellent cottage 5 mins walk from beach.”

Clean, comfortable, and well-provisioned. Directions and entry instructions spot on. Only niggles were seemingly slight crockery shortage for max no. of occupants and no sign of TV remote. Also no sign of the baby/toddler accoutrements which we’d requested (3 times). And my 6’3” son kept complaining the light in the lounge hung too low! But a great stay nonetheless.

- Michael, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback and we glad you enjoyed your stay. We are aware of lack of tv control. Unfortunately a previous booking led to this! Our service team should have now received a new one and will replace. Crockery also been used and unfortunately some guests don’t replace broken crockery, we try to do so though as soon as we can. We do hope you will visit again. Property Owner

“Flintstone was a lovely cottage in a great location in Mundesley within walking distance to the beach, shops, pub, field and play park.”

Very well decorated and plenty of space for 5 adults and 2 grandchildren with a nice conservatory and welcome pack. A few points for attention however include: The badly brown stained toilet bowls which we improved straight away with domestos. The TV reception was really bad and we couldn't get the DVD or Blu Ray players working. This was resolved following 2 visits of the maintenance man and our request for instructions. We note that this was a similar problem for a previous reviewer also in August. Suggest leaving instructions in the House Guide and a review of TV reception. Some light bulbs also need replacing. The garden although a nice area would benefit from some tidying and cutting back shrubs around the patio table and clearance of some accumulated rubbish. A further enhancement would be to provide a washing line for beachwear, towels etc. Despite these we had a nice time and would have no hesitation in returning for another holiday

- Michael, August 2022

Thank you for your feedback and we have let our property maintenance team know of your issues. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

“This was our 3rd stay in different cottages in Norfolk and our favourite so far.”

It was clean and tidy when we arrived and appreciated the welcome gifts of tea, coffee, milk and a box of chocolates. We were a 9 minute walk from the beach and were fortunate to have great weather so spent most of our time there. My husband and daughter had a surfing lesson, which was the highlight of my daughter’s week, whilst my son preferred heading to the amusement arcade, and the dog learnt her way to the beach very quickly insisting on walks there at every opportunity. At the end of the road there’s a lovely butchers and deli, a Post Office, greengrocer, gift shop and clothes shop just around the corner. Fish and chips from The Ship Inn were delicious but we were disappointed by the slowness of the table service when we ate in the restaurant. We also ate at The View Restaurant, which had both lovely food and excellent service. The property has a downstairs bedroom and bathroom. My disabled father in law came with us and I only provide this as a comment not a criticism as the property does not profess to be set up for disabled access. Both the front and rear entrances have a couple of steps so you can’t wheel a chair into the property. Also, the downstairs bathroom and shower are quite small making it difficult for a disabled person to move around and shower successfully. My father in law still enjoyed his stay despite this. The only negative comments we would make about the property are that slightly better cooking facilities would be appreciated such as sharp knives (they were all blunt making cutting veg difficult), a large frying pan/wok, a couple of ovenproof dishes (I had brought ingredients for lasagne but then had nothing to cook it in) and a proper chopping board. Also we couldn’t find instructions for the tv/DVD etc and had to give up using them by the final evening. However I’m just being fussy. Overall we had an amazing stay and didn’t want to leave. We have already booked to go back next summer.

“Lovely house in lovely village.”

Garden an absolute bonus as a place to relax after a day out. House was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. A small maintenance issue was dealt with very promptly. We wish we could have stayed another week!

Jane May 2022

“The house suited our needs perfectly and the property was really well laid out and clean.”

Everyone enjoyed their stay and the village was perfect with the beach only a short 5 minute walk away. The owners left us tea, coffee, milk, sugar and chocs to start our stay. A really smashing weeks stay with our grandchildren again booked through Sykes, well done and we shall continue to use your splendid site. Thanks to the owners too.

Rebecca May 2022

“The cottage was lovely.”

It was clean, modern and welcoming. We felt at home immediately. The garden was so peaceful and the location to the beach was perfect. We just parked up on Friday and didn't look at the cars again till Monday. A perfect holiday.

Thank you very much for your feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Flintstone Cottage. Property Owner

Christopher December 2021

“Very comfortable and generally clean property, exactly as described.”

Mundesley itself at this time of the year is a very quiet village, but the pub and a couple of takeaways are open and friendly. The location of the property is excellent near the village centre and a short walk to the beach. Just some minor feedback. The slabs on the exterior paths are really quite slippy and could do with being cleaned. Inside the property, the lightbulb above the downstairs shower needs to be replaced and the extractor fan wasn’t working. A couple of plates were chipped and could do with being replaced. Finally, a couple of our party are allergic to pets and they felt that there had been pets in parts of the property.

- Christopher, December 2021

Thank you for your comments, we are glad you liked Mundesley and Flintstone Cottage. We have noted your comments regarding our property and fed this back to our maintenance company. While pets should not have been in the property prior to your stay, we rely on guests to honour this rule. We have made improvements to the property this winter, so that pets will be allowed, downstairs only, in future. Property Owner

“Very comfortable cottage, beach and local shops all walkable with 10 mins.”

Linda September 2021

“A lovely house but let down by a few things which was a shame for the price we paid.”

Examples Toilets badly stained..needed bleaching Toilet roll holders rusty..need replacing Carpets have lots of stains Dining chair stained Conservatory had lots of cobwebs and dead flies everywhere on our arrival Used tissues under one of the beds Lack of mirrors in two of the bedrooms

- Linda, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We visited the property ourselves at the weekend and can therefore comment in respect of your observations as follows: * The standard of cleaning was very good upon our arrival, although we have spoken to the cleaners and asked them to improve their consistency to ensure every guest receives the same high standard. * We have ordered new toilet roll holders, as the existing ones have certainly lost their sparkle. These will be replaced when we visit next. * There are new stains on the carpets downstairs which are the result of a very busy summer booking period, however the carpets are clean and overall in a good state of repair and appearance. We will attempt to remove the stains during our winter maintenance visits and/or replace with hard floors downstairs. * One of the dining chairs has a light cover which has acquired a new stain. We will attempt to remove the stain during our winter maintenance visits or replace with a new cover. * There are plenty of mirrors around the house, but we note your comments about two of the bedrooms. I believe one of these rooms does in fact have a table top mirror, but we ensure all bedrooms have a mirror during our next visit. Thanks again for your comments and we hope you enjoyed your stay in Mundesley. Property Owner

“Could not gain access to Flintstone Cottage until 5.”

15pm on the 20th August as cleaners were still on site ( apparently this was not as a result of how the house had been left by the previous occupants). The freezer in kitchen was not usable as could not open drawers until I had defrosted it (pictures available) Cleaners need to dust the property including blinds and skirting boards . Also lack of kitchen cupboard storage space for food as the owners had padlocked the two largest cupboards for there own use and as there were 7 of us in our party this proved challenging. Also one white bath towel and one white hand towel per person for the week was not sufficient as there is no washing machine in the property . Despite these irritations , we liked the property and very much enjoyed our stay in Mundesley.

- Linda, August 2021

Dear Mrs Lillis, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for your delayed access and your comments on cleaning. We have taken this matter up with our cleaners. I am afraid the freezer cannot be defrosted in the time available to the cleaners when we have back to back bookings. We are reliant upon guests not overfilling the freezer and preventing the door from closing, which creates the frost. I am sorry that the freezer was already frosted when you arrived and we are grateful that you took the time to defrost it. We are visiting the property shortly and will update the guest file with further guidance to help guests mitigate this problem in future. I'm sorry you found the available food storage insufficient, this is not a problem we have experienced before with full bookings, but we will review this upon our next visit. We do not advertise a washing machine at the property, but are considering installing one. Property Owner
