“First impressions of Mayfield weren’t good as we were greeted with dirt on the Hall carpet as we opened the door.”
We had a long journey with very busy traffic, therefore we were ready for a cup of tea on arrival. To our disappointment there was no welcome pack, only a few coffee sachets & teabags & no fresh milk in the fridge, not even 1 pint, however we did find some milk sachets that were 6 months out of date. The beds available consisted of 4 off 2ft 6inch mattresses each, which could be put together for 2 adults, but we still had to sleep on bunk bed size mattresses. On the plus side the bedding & ...
We had a long journey with very busy traffic, therefore we were ready for a cup of tea on arrival. To our disappointment there was no welcome pack, only a few coffee sachets & teabags & no fresh milk in the fridge, not even 1 pint, however we did find some milk sachets that were 6 months out of date. The beds available consisted of 4 off 2ft 6inch mattresses each, which could be put together for 2 adults, but we still had to sleep on bunk bed size mattresses. On the plus side the bedding & towels were very good and clean + the neighbourhood was quiet & ideally located in Cromer. The lounge area felt very sterile with no cushions on the sofa to help you relax after a busy day. Cleanliness of Mayfield wasn’t to a great standard, we didn’t use the washing up bowl provided in the kitchen as it was thick with grease, the sink had no plug to use. Although the sink & bath were clean, it was obvious that the toilet had not been given the same attention at the bottom of the pan. The bungalow has access issues into the back garden, you have to go out of the front door and go through a bolted gate into the back, this would lead to concerns of safe play for toddlers outside the home. We were due to stay until Friday but decided to leave on Wednesday as we didn’t sleep well due to the tiny width of the mattresses, it would have been much better with 3ft mattresses as there is plenty of room in the bedrooms for them. We have stayed in many Sykes listed cottages over the years but have to say this is not one of the best.
