Once inside we found sweet wrappers on the worktop.We took out plates ect we were going to use as inside cupbords was not clean. 1 large saucepan and 2 small not enough for a family of 7 also fridge a bit small and freezer a joke just about get 1 loaf of bread and tub of ice cream in.Dishwasher takes a long time and does not always clean pots.3 seater setee not usable full of dents seen it reported 2021 and conservatry smells of stale cigerettes when it is listed as a no smoking household.All stairs creak loudly which made impossible to go to bed and not wake children.Toilet door at top of stairs won't lock from inside and the toilet is an art to flush.The tv in the photos has changed for one that is about 20 years old and no dvd player.I do not like the information book that tells you to stagger showers or the water goes cold.The downstair so called double bedroom is a box room with a double bed that just fits and a rack at the bottom with a few coat hangers hadly enough for 2 people for 2 weeks.The appilances and furniture are run down and need replacing.

- Brian, August 2023

Very surprised, and dissapointed and upset to read your comments about my holiday home this is a small family business I run with my daughter we clean and maintain to a high standard also supplying many extras for the guests convenience All appliances are not this years models but all work and are regularly checked and maintained that goes for the furniture too items are replaced if and when necessary The downstairs bedroom is located in the annexe where there is adequate room for two people as you do have an adjoining room.

“Had a great stay all our needs were catered for , also nice and central for trips out , we didn't use the lounge our favourite place to sit was the conservatory and in the garden weather permitting .”

We would pick the trickle again .

- Susan, May 2023

I do thank you for your lovely comments so pleased the Twickle met all your needs would love to have you stay at a future date Property Owner
Trixie April 2023

“Property is very well equipped and spacious.”

The beds upstairs are good quality and 2 lovely big bathrooms. The garden is well looked after and I imagine it's beautiful in the summer. The grandchildren and dog loved being out there. It is a home from home with everything you could think of you will need. A lovely conservatory to enjoy if you don't want to be outside. Cleaning products, tea and coffee,towels and tea towels all supplied. On arrival there was mini easter eggs and cookies waiting for us, THANK YOU. Ample off road parking, we had 3 vehicles. It is definitely somewhere I would stay again. Nice and central for exploring.

- Trixie, April 2023

I was pleased to read that you and your family enjoyed your stay at the Twickle please do come again Many thanks for your lovely comments they are appreciated Property Owner

“On arrival at the property our initial reaction was favourable, although there was a certain stale smell throughout - as if the property hadn’t been used for a while.”

Whilst the accommodation provided everything we needed it was in need of an update. Unfortunately, the kitchen hob and tiles behind hadn’t been cleaned so we had to tackle that before using it. The downstairs bedroom was extremely cold - the radiator was situated behind a solid headboard - and there was room only for a bed and one small table. Not at all comfortable. We read the printed guidelines and advice sheet which we found in the dining room and were shocked to read that, when the property was used at full capacity, we were recommended to stagger our showers, with half of us showering in the morning and the rest in the evening for fear of the hot water running out! This was not brought to our attention when booking and was totally unacceptable. Surely it isn’t unreasonable when staying in one of your properties to expect to be able to take a shower every morning, despite the size of the party. We were a party of 7 including three active boys aged 16, 12 and 8. Whilst we made the best of things we wouldn’t recommend this property and would not book again.

- Carole, February 2023

I am sorry to read your comments However every effort is made to ensure our holidaymakers are accomodated for but sadly on this occasion we could not achieve that for you Property Owner
Debra October 2022

“Spacious, clean, and well-equipped accommodation in a great location.”

Easy walking distance to grocery stores, while there are plenty of coastal and other walks a short drive away. Host was helpful and responsive to questions. Would highly recommend!

- Debra, October 2022

Many Thanks for your feeback I am pleased that you and your family enjoyed your stay at the Twickle Property Owner
Jean August 2022

“It was disappointing to find that there was a notice when we arrived telling us not to use the bath because of it being out of order.”

This should have been advised to us before we took up the accommodation, particularly as a bath was required for the elderly and child members of our group. We feel that at least a discount should have been offered to us. Also, it was found impossible to get a full night's sleep in the downstairs bedroom because of its glass door allowing too much light into the room and also the noise of the plumbing from the main en suite upstairs which was disturbingly loud in the downstairs bedroom. The property also felt somewhat overlooked and within easy hearing distance when sitting in the garden due to the close proximity of neighbours. We would also suggest that a bigger fridge is needed for a house that takes up to 8 people.

- Jean, August 2022

It was unfortunate about the bath and I am sorry as this was short notice to my knowledge I could not get a plumber to deal with it straight away after previous holiday makers had left a new set of taps had to be fitted as taps would not shut off completly this is now rectified Two ample showers were available for your use Black out blinds and curtains are in the downstairs annexe The property is in a quiet residential area with an enclosed garden Property Owner
Gill August 2022

“We had a wonderful holiday at The Twickle.”

We were a group with young children and dogs and we felt that everyone was very well accommodated - the wine and biscuit starter pack was a nice touch! It felt very spacious and was well equipped with crockery, glassware, cupboard space etc. plus everything we needed for the week including tea towels, dishwasher tablets, soap etc. A great location for day trips all around Norfolk. For those with children we'd thoroughly recommend Bewilderwood, Wroxham barns and Walcott beach. Thank you for a lovely stay!

- Gill, August 2022

I am so pleased your stay at the Twickle was a good one for you and your family Look forward to having you stay again in the future Property Owner
Elaine July 2022

“On arrival there was a smell in the kitchen of rotten cheese on opening the fridge and taking out compartment at the bottom there was all rotten milk, had to clean fridge out and microwave before using them cooker hadn’t been cleaned, all cupboards to store food needed wiping out ,all bedroom cupboards had spiders and cobwebs in them so didn’t use them, beds upstairs uncomfortable , sofa uncomfortable could do with an update all round not the best place I’ve stayed and I come to Norfolk every year.”

- Elaine, July 2022
Brian July 2022

“We had a lovely stay here.”

Great location for a family (included 2 children under 6, 2 grandparents and 4 adults). Close enough to everywhere that we didn't need to spend a long time driving to anywhere. Facilities were good, garden was enough, conservatory was lovely. Kitchen and living room/dining was spacious enough. A really lovely property

- Brian, July 2022

Many thanks for your lovely comments It pieases me that you all had a great time at the Twickle Look forward to your return when in Norfolk again Property Owner
Andrew May 2022

“Great house worked well for us Great for the dogs with garden and good walks ...”

Great house worked well for us Great for the dogs with garden and good walks around really good base to travel from nothing more than 45 mins away like Great Yarmouth to Sheringham

- Andrew, May 2022

So pleased the house and garden worked well for you all and the dogs I agree we are very central for the coast and city with very good travel links Hope to see you all again at the Twickle Property Owner

“Television reception was spasmodic, picture would pixalate, actually lost signal completely on Sunday night for about 15 minutes, in middle of Peaky Blinders.”

Perhaps a Smart TV would be an improvement.

Paula February 2022

“We had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend at The Twickle.”

There was plenty of room for the family and dog to spread out, and the facilities were well laid out.

- Paula, February 2022

It pleases me to read that you had an enjoyable weekend stay at the Twickle with your family and dog would love to see you come back to the Twickle on another family occasion Property Owner

“Fantastic location, walking distance to town, supermarket and train station.”

Very spacious, it could be cleaner and needs updating.

- Dawn, September 2021
Colin September 2021

“The 3 seater sofa was so uncomfortable we had to use conservatory chairs which were slightly better.”

As we were all in our sixties comfort in the evening is very important to us. The en-suite upstairs is lovely but be careful as on two levels the owner does provide a torch for night time visits,very thoughtful.The bed is really comfy.However the second bed upstairs you can feel the springs. Nice cottage for a family.There is the town centre 10 mins walk away with a Lidl and a lovely park for children and dogs. The cottage garden at the back is fully enclosed so ideal for dogs.

- Colin, September 2021
Carl September 2021

“This is a great house in a great location with all the things you need.”

Kitchen is well stocked and plenty of space with dishwasher. For a 4 bed house the fridge/freezer is rather small. We managed to get Tesco delivery direct to the house on day of arrival but there is a Lidl close by, as well as a great little park for the kids. The rear garden of the house is nicely kept and has some lovely wild flowers including rosemary and lavender, with plenty of seating and a small BBQ. The bedrooms are a mix with a small double on the ground floor but 2 further spacious doubles on the first floor and a twin (with 1 very creaky single). North Walsham is great location for travelling to the beaches to other days out. We did Sea Palling, Great Yarmouth, ROAR and Pettits - all less than 30 mins drive away. Lovely place would recommend.

“Our second visit to The Twickle, and another relaxing stay again.”

Great location for visiting the north Norfolk coastline, which are dog friendly much to the delight of our Jack Russell. Plenty of room and well equipped for all our needs, a very comfortable stay. Recommended to all dog lovers, walkers and beach goers and those looking for a comfortable quiet time.

“The Twickle was a wonderful holiday house to stay.”

Extremely comfortable in all areas of the house. Beds especially comfortable. Everything you need no matter how long your stay. We had a slight issue which was literally sorted within 15 mins by the owners. Would definitely recommend, also very central to lots of interesting places to visit. Thank you very much Mary and Ed.

It was very spacious, homely and in the perfect location for exploring the beaches and countryside.

Jonathan July 2020

“A lovely house in a nice, safe neighbourhood.”

Easy access to lots of beaches and, of course, Wroxham. The house is lovely with equipment well beyond most others. There really is everything you need and more. One snag was the timing of the hot water. We’ve stayed in many cottages and are used to central heating being timed but not hot water. There is a tank of hot water, on storage, for showers e.t.c after 10am but as late risers with 7 in the house this did catch us out one day. The house is Only 15 minutes to a host of fabulous beaches and to Wroxham, the main base for the Broads. We’d highly recommend to anyone with a need for space and comfort.

- Jonathan, July 2020
Elaine August 2019

“Great holiday home, very comfortable, spacious, mostly well equipped, large baking trays for a roast dinner in the kitchen would have been good but otherwise home from home.”

Great for the dogs.

“A well kept property with plenty of room and features for a family holiday.”

North Walsham is a pleasant town with plenty of amenities. The train station is within walking distance of the property with a good service to the surrounding area. Norwich is just a 30 minute train ride away.

“The Twickle was a fabulous house which accommodated 4 adults, 4 children and 2 dogs with room to spare!”

Paul August 2018

“Had a great week here with family, the property was clean and well equipped, just like home from home.”

There was a large Lidl store just up the road from the property also close by are Sainsbury and Waitrose. There is also a choice of takeaways within the town. North Walsham is well situated to access most of North Norfolk and is only 15 minutes from a nice beach at Mundesley. We would certainly have no hesitation in staying there again
