“A very good location to explore the area.”
The hosts were very affable and when i couldn’t get the telly to work, Jane was on it immediately. There is a bus stop almost immediately by the property going west to Peterborough and east to Norwich. I took it to Kings Lynn and it was great. It didn’t do many stops and was very comfortable. So highly recommended. As for the property, for me, there were a few ‘niggles’. The kitchen had everything you could require, anything i needed it was there but i think maybe the saucepans should be ...
The hosts were very affable and when i couldn’t get the telly to work, Jane was on it immediately. There is a bus stop almost immediately by the property going west to Peterborough and east to Norwich. I took it to Kings Lynn and it was great. It didn’t do many stops and was very comfortable. So highly recommended. As for the property, for me, there were a few ‘niggles’. The kitchen had everything you could require, anything i needed it was there but i think maybe the saucepans should be replaced. I could not get comfortable in the lounge on the very large sofa. It didn’t have much ‘oomph’ about it but i eventually found myself a reasonably comfy patch in the corner, using a foot rest from the sun room. I tried a few times to watch something on the Iplayer without success. Jane did say the wifi is shared with next door, so streaming TV is impossible and should not be advertised that it is (i’m thinking Netflix). The chairs in the sun room were made of a PVC type of material and were a bit tatty. Every time i sat on them, little pieces fell off and i found myself sweeping up every time, so i gave up sitting in there. The garden was lovely with beautiful hanging baskets and very secure for the dog. The only issue here was a dirty patio. It needed a sweep and a power wash to make it as gleaming as the house. Upstairs, the bathroom was very clean and a decent size, BUT the shower was pathetic. The water is notoriously hard in Norfolk, so you’re never going to get a full lather, but getting some water to attempt to do so would be something. Personally i would take out the useless bath and put in a walk in power shower, as the water from the boiler is gloriously hot. Also a grab rail is needed, i found myself having to heave myself in and out using the bathroom door. The situation, as it is, is quite dangerous. A very decent and thoughtful touch was a little plug in light in the hall by the bathroom, to keep on at night, to save stumbling and falling into the bathroom during the night. The bed was comfy too and i slept well but i did find the topper mattress seemed to have a mind of its own. The little welcome package was very nice, although i’d brought all the items with me! All in all a very, very, clean place and (almost) perfect. Thank you xx
