“The bungalow is comfortable and well equipped.”

Fabulous garden for the dog. The conservatory is spacious and furnished to enjoy the garden and the birds. Weybourne village has a great gastro-pub with excellent food and dogs are welcome. The cafe/shop welcomes dogs as well and stocks some essential. The beach is walkable from the bungalow but is pebbly. The location is perfect for exploring the north Norfolk coast.

“We've been going to skylark for years, nice peaceful week, superb chance to recharge our batteries.”

Everything is there that you can want/need.

“The bungalow was in a great location, very spacious inside, the garden was fantastic and dog friendly with none of my 3 escaping.”

Downside we was there, Christmas week would of been nice to have a Christmas tree up. The welcome pack was a bottle of wine. This would of been better with some milk, biscuit etc. There was also 1 toilet roll, no logs for the fire! So after driving for 4 hours had to go out shopping its was horrendous with it been Christmas weekend. Not what we wanted to do! We did find it quite dusty and when stripped the double duvet had blood stains on duvet which was quite upsetting having spent over £1000 for the week. Hopefully the standards will be better for the New Year.

“Lovely bungalow, very homely.”

Dogs loved the size of the garden. Would return if I go back to Norfolk.

“The bungalow was well equipped with small steps if a bit of a problem.”

The garden was very large so it was very easy for the dogs.nice walks and dog bins about in a village

- Marilyn, August 2023
Pamela August 2023

“The bungalow was excellent.”

The bottle of wine was appreciated greatly. The garden was great for the dog and the location perfect for trains, beach pub and places to visit. Hope to come again Thank.you

“This was our first time staying at Skylark.”

The bungalow was quiet, well equipped , large garden which our dog enjoyed running around in. Beds were comfortable. Very clean. We are intending to book again for next year. An excellent find. Thank you. Helen

- Constance, June 2023
Paul June 2023

“We really enjoyed our two week stay in this property which is an ideal location for exploring North Norfolk.”

The premises offers a well equipped kitchen and very comfortable bed together with plenty of space to relax. The enclosed garden was ideal for our dog to enjoy as well as all the great walks available locally. We enjoyed it so much that we have already booked for 2024.

- Paul, June 2023
Jean May 2023

“Best place we’ve stayed in like home from home.”

Felt relaxed all week.Anything we needed was there.Only one comment I’d make to make it any better found the step at the front entrance a bit hard to negotiate as I’m a bit disabled but that’s just me Will definitely book again

“Skylark is nicely situated to allow easy access to the Steam railway, local village shops, and pub.”

10min walk past the allotments and there is a common a dog/s can have a run, cross common (field) cross road, left past windmill and donw road and you're on the cliffs (approx' 30min walk). Note -: if you want to use pub take away facility, you have to order take away food in the afternoon of the day you want it, and internet access is needed (can phone order in, but I found the landlord some what curt when I pointed out NON of his paperwork stated this, "well it's on our website" was his curt answer. He assumed all his customers have I/N access (a common failing by buisnesses these days). However we did have a meal there and portions were generous, and the food excellent. Nice selection of beers too. Good easy access to Holt, and Sherringham (nice shopping centres), and the Mucklebourgh Collection is only 20min walk (4min by car). Lots of N.Trust place in easy drive too.

Brian March 2023

“Had a very good stay the cottage was clean my 2 old Labs enjoyed the large garden.”

Weather was cold but can't blame that on Skylark and it was March. Thank you for a nice break.

- Brian, March 2023
Chris March 2023

“It was a warm, clean and comfortable cottage, which was well equipped.”

It’s only a couple of minutes walk from the sea, with a number of circular walks going from the village. Next time I’m staying in the area, the first place I’ll check to see if it’s available will be here.

- Chris, March 2023
Sally December 2022

“Lovely place!”

Would definetly stay again

John November 2022

“Property in good location.”

No heating on arrival, due to old storage heaters having been turned off prior to arrival. These heaters could do with updating. These did not provide any heat until the following morning. Back bedroom cold and damp. Bedding was old and did in fact smell and did not appear ‘freshly laundered’. The quilt covers and pillows in this bedroom were damp, probably due to the cold. Front bedroom much better with clean covers and pillow cases on. Kitchen facilities good. Lounge settee and cushions stained and covered in sand or sugar on arrival! Several areas had not been sufficiently cleaned ie dusty. Only 3 small logs provided for open fire. Nice quiet location. House nice but tired.

- John, November 2022
Leslie October 2022

“We return repeatedly, as it has everything we like and need, both within the property and the surrounding area.”

- Leslie, October 2022
Joyce October 2022

“We enjoyed our stay in Skylark as it was reasonably spacious and comfortable.”

It had everything that we required, including good internet access. On the other hand the property wasn’t as clean or well maintained as we would have expected and could do with a refurb. The property is described as dog friendly, which it probably is, but we experienced an unavoidable aroma of dogs in virtually every room.

- Joyce, October 2022
Jill September 2022

“On reading previous feedback on this property I was a little apprehensive about our holiday .”

But skylark was fantastic ,very spacious, very clean and extremely well equipped, so I think that previous clients must have been talking about a different property. Not only was the property fantastic but the area is to ,lots to do and see ,we have not visited Norfolk before and will definitely visit again and hopefully in skylark .as it was perfect for us and our 2 dogs.

- Jill, September 2022
Heather August 2022

“We enjoyed our stay, the bungalow was very comfortable but needs a little attention here and there.”

I appreciate that this must be difficult during the holiday season. It took me a while to find where the dustbins were kept, the conservatory door needs attention as does one of the conservatory Windows, but the owner's are aware of this. The garden is extensive, there were a few large brambles near the conservatory end but it was a cool respite in the late afternoon. The kitchen was well equipped, and the lounge was comfortable. We were happy with our stay here

- Heather, August 2022
Clifford June 2022

“The shower cubicle was very dirty in and around the shower, grouting was brown in places and looked like it hadn’t been deep cleaned for sometime.”

The shower head also didn’t work properly. The mattress on double bed was also worn to one side so it tilted and made it difficult to not roll out of the bed and so one of us ended up sleeping on one of the single beds! I do have photos of the bathroom.

- Clifford, June 2022
K June 2022

“A lovely spacious bungalow, very comfortable.”

A bit of TLC needed to the bathroom and the conservatory but it didn’t detract to much from our stay. A great location and lovely little village.

- K, June 2022
Margaret June 2022

“Skylark was a beautiful bungalow with a huge enclosed back garden which our dog loved.”

Very quiet and peaceful I would definitely recomend it.

- Margaret, June 2022
Mark May 2022

“Overall the bungalow was very good, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and a cosy living room.”

The shower on the other hand was very poor, no water pressure at all. The garden is huge, plenty of room for the dogs, unfortunately I own beagle’s who found several holes in the boundaries so the garden is not that Secure . Luckily the neighbours have seen the problem so many times before and there were no problems. We had a fantastic week of RnR at skylark. Nice place !

- Mark, May 2022
Graham April 2022

“A great bungalow in a great location”

- Graham, April 2022
Jane April 2022

“My family and our 2 dogs have just had a lovely weeks holiday in Weybourne, Norfolk.”

The bungalow was lovely and well situated for the whole of North Norfolk. The beach was a pleasant 10 minutes stroll, made even better with a pit stop for coffee and cake at the village shop/café . We found the Skylark to be spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The welcome wine was a nice touch too. I was relieved to find soap, detergent and toilet paper supplied. I consider these items essential but often find they are not provided. So that was a big plus. The accommodation was generally very clean and tidy. The garden was great. We greatly appreciated the gated driveway which allows safe loading and unloading of the dogs into the car. It was also big, sunny, private and quiet. A lovely spot to relax and enjoy an evening drink. We would definitely rebook as it was hard to fault in any way. The only thing that would improve it for me would be to have a smart TV or some device to enable access to i-player/catch up TV. But that was a tiny issue in an otherwise perfect break. Thank you Skykark.

- Jane, April 2022
Patricia April 2022

“The cottage was beautiful!”

The garden was amazing which (if they could talk) I 3 Labradors would agree with! We could sit in the conservatory and know they were safe in the garden. We enjoyed lovely walks to the beach straight from our door! Would we rebook! Oh yes!

- Patricia, April 2022
Stephen March 2022

“Lovely week weather wise at glorious Skylark.”

We throughly enjoy going to Skylark, our seventh time, but as much as we do enjoy it, its beginning to feel a bit tired now. Cleaniness not the usual standard, towels bit smelly and not the cleanest, loads of cobwebs everywhere, and shower drain full of hair. YUK. The bed linen is lovely but the bed itself is so hard, but this is only personal choice. Skylark is truly lovely to have a fabulous holiday at, and we shall return, but we feel maybe a redecoration throughout and new towels would spruce it up a bit. This is our personal feelings, and we know that you cannot please all the people all the time. We would not mind paying a little extra to complement these tweaks. We've stayed in loads of other holiday houses/cottages and Skylarks welcome pack is the worst!! The 'blue folder' has loads of information in it, but sadly most leaflets are years out of date, but thanks to the internet that is not such a issue. The welcome of a bottle of wine, albeit very nice, a pint of milk and a loaf would be so much more appreciated, for us at least. Whatever complaints we have, they are easily acheivable and we shall most definetely return to Skylark

- Stephen, March 2022

Thank you for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Your feedback is important to us as it helps us to continually improve our standards. In terms of cleanliness, we too have not been overly pleased with our previous cleaning team. We have recently appointed a new cleaning team to carry out changeovers to a higher standard. Regarding the bed, we have not had any other complaints, however, if we find that there is a recurring issue with comfort, we will aim to make any improvements as quickly as we can. Though many of our guests enjoy the welcome pack we provide, we will absolutely take your comments into consideration. We trust that our new cleaning team will monitor the welcome pack and the information provided regularly, so that the issue of expired leaflets does not reoccur. Unfortunately, there has not been sufficient time in between bookings to carry out any larger-scale work such as decorating. We will be taking a week soon to carry out the work required, and will also arrange for a full set of new photographs to be taken to reflect all the improvements made. We would like to thank you once again for your comments and very much appreciate your regular custom. We really look forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner

“Ideal for my purposes for taking the three dogs on holiday.”

Great to have hard floors for ease of cleaning. Good secluded back garden and a nice short walk to a great local pub and the Norfolk Coast Path to Sheringham.

- Geoffrey, December 2021
Richard November 2021

“Lovely cosy cottage.”

It was too hot and we didn't know how to turn the storage heater down or off in the main bedroom. The towels were not freshly cleaned and smelt old. The only criticism we have. Otherwise, everything else was top notch

- Richard, November 2021
Stephen November 2021

“Our sixth time at Skylark, absolutely love it, evenmore so a new sofa and chairs installed, just great.”

The main bedroom has been updated somewhat also. The bed is not 'our bed' and a bit hard for us, but really not a complaint. Instead of a bottle of wine, which is really nice thank you, a pint of milk would be so much more of a 'welcome pack' as on arrival all you need is a cuppa. We are returning again in March '22 and will continue to do so for as long as we are able. Garden and space, and safety is just truly wonderful, our aging staffy adores being at Skylark, on his holidays!

- Stephen, November 2021
Leslie October 2021

“We really enjoy all our stays at Skylark and have future ones already booked, We expect that minor things will always need to be sorted.”

For instance the shower tray drain was partially blocked leading to near overflow. Drain cleaned bought and problem solved. Also the sink crockery drainer was spruced up with a liberal application of Jiff. One thing that will need attention in the future is that the Shower tray to Tiling sealant has failed leading to some damp onto the floor. This will get worse with time. Probably a job for the low season. All in all an excellent property

- Leslie, October 2021
Steve October 2021

“The property is nicely situated for exploring North Norfolk.”

Dog friendly and great back garden for the dog to run in. Note that in this part of the world the coastline is not really accessible for someone with mobility issues. So overall this holiday did not really work for us. However, this is NOT a criticism of the cottage which is great for anyone who does not have mobility issues.

- Steve, October 2021

Brilliant property a real home from home Excellent location for visiting north norfolks many delights Would definitely recommend this property and we will rebook

Imogen September 2021

“The bungalow was very clean and comfortable.”

It was easy to find and everything was as expected and more. We had a very relaxing time and didn't want to leave. No concerns with cleanliness or worries over covid. Would definitely recommend this bungalow.

- Imogen, September 2021
Alan September 2021

“This was our third visit to Skylark and we were not disappointed.”

The accommodation was comfortable with a sunny conservatory and large, dog safe garden. September 2021

- Alan, September 2021
Christine July 2021

“Had a wonderful time at Skylark.”

The dogs loved the large secure garden. The bungalow is fully equipped and comfortable and we spent lovely evenings sat in the conservatory listening to music and watching the dogs play outside. It was only a 10min walk to the beach with a visit to The Ship on the way back, very dog friendly. Would definitely recommend Skylark and hope to return soon.

- Christine, July 2021
Jessie July 2021

“Great location & fab safe garden for dogs.”

- Jessie, July 2021
Michael June 2021

“Lovely bungalow in great location and great if holidaying with dogs.”

Lovely walk down to the coast with wonderful clifftop walks. The only gripe was that the bungalow could do with a couple more fans, the weather was lovely when we stayed, on day being particularly hot and the heat from the conservatory into the kitchen made it slightly uncomfortable when preparing and cooking dinner. This is just an observation and in no way affected our enjoyment of our holiday and the stay in the cottage which was very comfortable and well equipped. We would definitely return!

- Michael, June 2021
Joan June 2021

“Excellent location for the east coast.”

My dog absolutely loved the safe enclosed garden to run around in. The bottle of wine left for us was a lovely gesture. The attention to detail to the cleaning was not up to our expectations, window seals, door frame edges, shower cubical, dog hairs. We left a note with regard to the condition of the oven, which we never used.

- Joan, June 2021
Ruth April 2021

“A quiet relaxing retreat, a wonderful place to stay, it gave us a great release from "lockdown"!”

Plenty of places to and see, with good public transport links throughout the area, enabling us to relax from driving, and therefore see more!!!!

- Ruth, April 2021
Stephen September 2020

“We really like the area and the location of Skylark is really good for walks on the coastal path and popping out to local towns and interesting places.”

We will be going back again.

- Stephen, September 2020
Julia September 2020

“Absolutely lovely location, nice base for walking or checking out the Norfolk coast line.”

It was like being home from home. Would stay again.

- Julia, September 2020
Jane July 2020

“Lovely comfortable bungalow.”

Very well equipped. Absolutely loved the conservatory and garden. Plenty of off road parking. Very quiet area. Garden not overlooked. Would definitely recommend.

- Jane, July 2020
Janet March 2020

“Sitting room not as clean as it should be.”

tennis ball, almond and tissue on floor near sofa. toaster could not be used as it blew the trip. the conservatory door difficult to lock and unlock.

- Janet, March 2020

“All I can say is that we have been to SkyLark twice before, we thoroughly enjoyed the current visit and have booked to go again.”

- Leslie, February 2020
Alison January 2020

“The cottage is in a perfect position in our favourite spot but was very dirty inside.”

All the bedding and towels were really old.

“Once again a very enjoyable holiday at Skylark.”

We have already booked for next year.

- Leslie, October 2019
Stephen September 2019

“All good, wonderful bungalow, garden excellent.”

Conversatory had an 'upgrade' which is just great and smart. No problems whatsoever, we will return, and have already booked!

- Stephen, September 2019
Alan August 2019

“The bungalow was well situated for us to visit the places we wanted to see.”

The bungalow was very comfortable, we particularly liked the conservatory, and the large garden was ideal for the dog. We hope to book again next year.

- Alan, August 2019
Nicola August 2019

“This was our second stay at Skylark.”

The property is in a great location, close to lots of lovely beaches and lovely places to visit. There are also lots of nice walks in the area to do. Very well equipped and spacious with a lovely big garden. However, the only negative point we have is we did notice that the floors could have been cleaner on arrival as there were dog hairs found on the floors. Also there was a strong smell of dogs as you entered the property and especially in the main bedroom! Having said this we would return again because as mentioned before it’s in a great location and has everything you need there and is very comfortable.

- Nicola, August 2019
Sharon July 2019

“Sykes cottages made it very easy to book and gave excellent information needed when collecting keys and how to get there.”

The bungalow was fantastic and better than the photos. We were so impressed, we are already looking to book another holiday in a few weeks time. Thank you.

- Sharon, July 2019
Roger June 2019

“Skylark is a nice bungalow with a good size garden for the dogs.”

Located within sound of the North Norfolk heritage railway (great for me). Excellent location for exploring North Norfolk.

- Roger, June 2019
Cheryl June 2019

“Wonderful cottage, had everything we needed and more.”

Dogs enjoyed the large ceclosed garden. Great location too.

- Cheryl, June 2019

Angela May 2019

“Very comfortable and well equipped bungalow.”

Well situated.

- Angela, May 2019
Anne April 2019

“This is a very well equipped and comfortable bungalow.”

Peaceful and we slept soundly all week. The dogs really enjoyed the lovely lawned garden but just one warning: it is meant to be dog proof but it wasn't Willow proof. Willow is 15 inches high and very agile. She went under the hedge on the left as you sit in the conservatory and managed to get over the 2 foot wire fence there into next door. As the fence belongs to next door I'm not sure what can be done. Would have been nice to have had a milk jug but I guess that is one of those things that has been broken and not yet replaced. Personally I prefer cups and saucers for tea but I appreciate that they are easily breakable. Welcome pack: usually at Sykes cottages this means milk and maybe biscuits and whilst a bottle of wine was very nice when we arrive after a long journey we want to unpack and have a cup of tea but we had to go shopping as there was no milk - perhaps this could be added in future? A single pint would do - just so that people can have a drink. All in all a lovely place to stay and we would certainly book it again.

- Anne, April 2019
Ian April 2019

“The holiday cottage itself was great; lovely and spacious with a long garden that was perfect for our three large dogs (Newfoundland, GSD and Golden Retriever).”

Weybourne itself, however was nothing to write home about - limited paved/tracked areas for walking, few amenities and only one tiny local shop. The shingle beach at Weybourne was pretty rough, easily the worst beach in the area, however the coastal pathways gave excellent long vistas and was well used by paragliders and dog walkers (who just let their dogs lay eggs and leave them). Travel to local Sheringham, Cromer and Overstrand etc. (all within 20 minutes drive) for much better beaches, views and amenities. Don't forget to visit Wells-Next-The-Sea too, but don't buy any foodstufss in John's Rock Shop - it's all out of date! The bottle of wine welcoming us to the cottage was a lovely touch, but we all would have preferred a pint of milk instead; after a long journey all we wanted was a cuppa! Other cottages we've rented have had more welcoming "Welcome Packs" which included fruits, cereals, bread, butter, tea/coffee, milk and even treats for the dogs. I'd rather have paid an extra tenner and had these available than just a bottle of wine.

- Ian, April 2019
Diane February 2019

“Great holiday if you have 3 dogs.”

Lovely big garden that is fully secure and wonderful walks from the doorstep.

- Diane, February 2019
Marilyn February 2019

“Absolutely fabulous.”

Everything you needed. Clean warm friendly. Well kitted for all your requirements. The log burner was heaven once we got the knack. Beds comfy. Garden was lovely secure for dogs. Everything you needed was there for a lovely break. The rest is up to you to do as much or as little 10/10

- Marilyn, February 2019
Paul January 2019

“Bungalow was home from home.”

Sky TV a bonus and Internet. Comfort all round good, instructions generally good. Everything you could need for a lovely stay. Garden fantastic for dogs, completely secure and large for a good run. Would definitely have sat out at different time of year. Great having conservatory too even in winter. Minor points - CERTAINLY DO NOT DETRACT FROM OUR STAY Had to oil conservatory door ourselves as so hard to open but was fine after. Had to bleach shower head as needs descaling and shower leaks somewhere at bottom (little minor maintenance needed) Outside garden light would be beneficial (may be some but couldn't find any) Xouksnt woek out how to gerbhearer on in conservatory (could be us not working it out) Maybe needs different door mat at front door as stepping up and in, it slips in laminate.

- Paul, January 2019
Clive January 2019

“This is our 4th visit to a very well equipped bungalow.”

It is in a very pretty village not far from the coast and various good walks. They except dogs but I do feel having three large dogs there pushes the facilities but all in all a very good rental. See you again!!!

- Clive, January 2019
Diane December 2018

“Complaints were in the Visitor Book but we didn’t have any.”

The bungalow was very comfortable and warm and well equipped.

- Diane, December 2018
Joan December 2018

“We have just returned from our stay at Skylark and to be honest it wasnt up to the usual standards.”

The bungalow is in need of some T.L.C. Dissapointed in the cleanliness especially the shower. Heating was crazy, no guidance really on how to use the outdated strorage heaters. Conservatory door very difficult to manage and you cant lock the patio doors at the back. Living room was not cosy and could have used a coffee table and some cosy furnishings. We wouldnt say it was all bad as the kitchen was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. Good wi-fi connection. Good parking facilities, lovely village.

- Joan, December 2018
Susan December 2018

“We have stayed at Skylark previously so we knew what to expect.”

Certainly met our needs, clean, comfy and nice and warm. We used the wood burner on most days but to be honest the bugalow was so warm we really did not need to light it. Good secure garden for the dogs. We travelled to Sheringham and Holt several times plus surrounding areas. Skylark was nice to come back to after a wet and cold trip out. Weather was a bit against us for long beach walks this time. Only complaint was the toilet seat which had seen better times and either needs repairing or replacing. Expect we will book again for same time next year.

- Susan, December 2018
Maureen November 2018

“Spacious bungalow with a large enclosed garden which is great for dogs and children.”

Close to pet friendly beach and pub serving good food and friendly service, Sheringham just 3 miles away and Cromer 6miles makes this an ideal base to stay.

- Maureen, November 2018
David and Sheila November 2018

“Skylark was cold, when we arrived, lit wood burner to get some heat.”

With being on Economy 7, it was warm enough from then on, throughout the rest of the stay. The property needs some TLC, throughout, including the garden and greenhouse

- David and Sheila, November 2018

I am sorry to hear the property was cold on arrival and that you feel the property required TLC. We strive on having exceptional property standards in all Sykes properties. This is not our usual expectation and would like to assure you that we have passed these comments on to the owner to be looked in to and help with any improvements. If you wish to discuss or elaborate more on the issues raised, please feel free to contact the Sykes office on the details below, quoting your booking reference number and any other information that may assist us in providing the best possible outcome and customer service. Lines are open 7 days a week from 9am until 7pm. Property Owner
Martin November 2018

“We were pleased with the cottage, it did everything it said on the tin.”

The garden was more than our puch needed but was great from the privacy aspect although it was in need of some tlc but hey I'm no gardener either. Lovely village and so friendly.

- Martin, November 2018
Joy October 2018

“Lovely location.”

Heating was not on, and took a time to warm up,luckily we had the log burner in the sitting room, which we lit and soon had a good fire going. One of the single bed mattresses definitely needs changing, we could feel the springs in it. The one thing that did concern us was the fact that you could not lock the patio door (there were instructions on the side of the door saying "do not lock") however, in the conservatory the doors that led out into the garden were very hard to open and close, so it did not feel very secure. On a clear night the stars were amazing, so bright, which of course you do not see if you live in an area of light pollution, absolutely beautiful!!

- Joy, October 2018
Leslie October 2018

“The weather was fabulous all week for mid October.”

Have already booked a second visit for Feb 2019. The location is ideal for the North Norfolk coast.

- Leslie, October 2018
Jan September 2018

“An extremely comfortable bungalow with a large dog-proof garden so we didn’t have to worry when we let them out.”

Kitchen was well equipped except there were no tea towels but everything else was great. Cooker was wonderful and hob worked efficiently. Lounge was big enough for our needs and the double bed was comfortable. I am sure we will visit again.

- Jan, September 2018
William July 2018

“Best holiday bungalow we’ve stayed in by far in 10 years of holidays with ...”

Best holiday bungalow we’ve stayed in by far in 10 years of holidays with Sykes would recommend this property to anyone young or old nice size rooms great big gardens for dogs or children

- William, July 2018
Robert July 2018

“After arriving the kitchen floor needed another sweep, and there were dog hairs on the carpet in the conservatory, but ever where else was ok.”

- Robert, July 2018
Christine June 2018

“This property was the best we have stayed in and we have been to a lot of self catering cottages.”

The bungalow was really comfortable and very well equipped and like home from home. Weybourne is a nice village with a village shop with a cafe and also a nice pub. Easy access to lots of places within easy distance.

- Christine, June 2018
Suzanne May 2018

“Beautiful bungalow in a lovely place we had a lovely holiday massive safe garden ...”

Beautiful bungalow in a lovely place we had a lovely holiday massive safe garden for dogs my only criticism is the double bed was uncomfortable I have a bad back so I do really need a comfy bed the mattress springs felt like the were digging in you I would stay again if it had a new comfy mattress I only mention this because I think it would stop people returning we had fab weather we were at a good base to trip off to different places lovely big field to exercise the dogs at the back of the bungalow wry our evening is a beautiful village near to the beach

- Suzanne, May 2018
David February 2018

“The cottage was warm and fully furnished - important as we experienced the coldest winter weather in nearly 20 years!”

It has a wonderful back garden (ideal for our 2 small dogs) and the owner's welcome bottle of wine was thoughtful. Because of the hazardous weather we had to cut our time here short by 2 days, so did not really get the chance to explore the local area properly - next time perhaps.

“Owners extremely helpful and kind.”

Very dog friendly property with well fenced all round rear garden. Good enough to keep our Border Terrier in!!!! Very well kept bungalow, clean and well equipped. Thank you for the wine.

“It was over and above what we had expected, in as much, the small details of a welcome gift of a bottle of wine on the kitchen table with 2 glasses.”

Very much appreciated. It was clean, tidy and cosy, so much so, that we did not need to use the log burner, which was a result. The garden was large and the dogs were quite happy to wander around as it was completely safe and secure. Well located, near a huge communal field and a little farther on to the sea and cliff tops. Unfortunately we did not manage to visit the local pub or cafe , which were very close. Everyone was very friendly and happy to chat.

“A spacious bungalow which certainly met our expectations.”

Extremely comfortable and ideally situated. We did have some very poor weather and it was nice to come back to the log burner. We hope to return same time next year.

“Perfect location for some great walks with or without dogs!”

Property very spacious, with everything you need for your visit; would happily return. The location is ideal too for exploring along the coast.. A short walk to a village store and great, friendly pub serving lovely food and a vast array of Gins! Dogs are very welcome here too!

“We had booked Skylark from Saturday 11th November but unfortunately could not go until the Monday.”

When I phoned the owners to find the number of the key safe I foolishly told them that we would not arrive until Monday lunchtime. I say foolishly because the owners visited the bungalow at the weekend and switched off all but two heaters on the Sunday. As they are storage heaters when we arrived at 11:30 am with an outside temperature of 5 degrees we found a very cold bungalow. On phoning the owner I was told to switch the heaters on and that by Tuesday morning the bungalow would be warm again. Meanwhile we had a very good log burner in the sitting room and one free standing electric heater to move about between kitchen and two bedrooms. There was a booster to the sitting room heater. My annoyance was that the heating had been turned off on the Sunday afternoon knowing we were arriving by lunchtime the following day. It is unlikely to be a hot day in November. Seemed a bit tight-fisted. Once the heating was up to speed it was very warm and comfortable. Surprised that only ONE toilet roll was provided as we usually find 3/4. Owner said that when they left 4 they felt people were taking them away with them. I use 2 a week and live alone so I imagine a family of four could quite easily use 4 rolls - and they are not expensive. One other very small and fairly insignificant annoyance was the fact that in the kitchen were storage jars and the one labelled coffee had a solid lump of coffee in it so I guess no-one had looked in there for some time. I always take my own so it didn't actually matter. The bungalow is very comfortable and clean and well decorated in neutral tones that cannot jar the eye. The beds were very comfortable as was all of the furniture. The kitchen was well equipped - one of the few that have a pyrex measuring jug - many thanks. The garden was superb as it was genuinely fully enclosed and safe for the dog to play in. Being mainly lawn he had plenty of room to play as I expect young children would. Lovely, large and airy conservative - nice place for a coffee with the winter sunshine on it. Plenty of interesting places and beaches nearby and a variety of walks for the dog. We went to the Thursford Christmas Spectacular show on the Thursday afternoon and it truly is Spectacular. Well worth the money.

“As specified a love;y spacious ground floor holiday Bungalow.”

Nicely appointed and very warm and very comfortable. Good value for money as everything needed was provided and a good location that suited us perfectly. The most important aspect for us was the permission for our three well behaved dogs and the secure large rear garden. The advantage of the multi fuel burner was taken up {in fact we used all of the kinder and the logs} could have done with a few more of both, however we bought some coal to make it work for longer. We would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Sykes Cottages and in particular "SKYLARK".

“Skylark was lovely, comfortable, spacious and the location is excellent.”

The garden and conservatory are excellent. This was by far the best cottage we have booked in Norfolk.

“A lovely clean and well maintained bungalow in a nice area, large secure garden ideal if you have a dog.”

“The cottage was more than we expected.”

Very clean and was like being at home. Would recommend it to any body.

Carole November 2016

“The accommodation was fabulous and facilities excellent with the most comfortable bed I have slept in for a very long time.”

The garden was enormous and the first one at more than ten cottages we have stayed at over the five years we have had our Jack Russells that was truly "dog friendly" and properly secure for our little would-be escapees!! We loved it.

- Carole, November 2016
Pat September 2016

“The only reason I wouldn't book this property again is because the floors were laminated throughout and my poor dog a (Greyhound) could not walk on it as it was too slippy for him.”

He was limited to his blankets in the kitchen. The garden, however, was perfect! I would have expected laundry powder to be provided as there was a machine. Lovely bungalow and very peaceful location.

- Pat, September 2016
Nicola August 2016

“Bungalow was very clean and comfortable and for a two bedroomed property felt very spacious.”

Recently decorated and equipped to a good standard with every thing you need. The garden was a good size with table and chairs and a BBQ which we were able to make use of in the lovely weather we had. The location is great to visit all the lovely surrounding towns and villages including Sheringham which has everything you need and is only a five minute drive away! There are also a lot of great walks to do in the close vicinity without having to take your car anywhere. Weybourne beach being only a ten minute walk and a walk along the cliffs to Sheringham from the bungalow about 3.5 miles. Weybourne station is a ten minute walk up the road too to the Poppy Line steam trains. We would definitely recommend this property and would love to return.

“Skylark was immaculate when we arrived and everything we could possibly imagine needing was there.”

I would not recommend it to people with physical disability because the shower has quite a steep step into it and no grab holds - I had to help my Mum who could not get inn and out without help. Also the steps into the bungalow are quite high. Apart from that a truly lovely bungalow aND GARDEN - WE COULD HAVE MOVED I N.

“Liked just about everything, it was, without doubt, the best holiday cottage we have ever had.”

It was a joy to spend the week there and we are going to try to go again next year. The cottage felt soft warm and friendly.

The property

Skylark is located in the beautiful seaside village of Weybourne, close to the historic market town of Holt, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This detached property is beautifully laid out over the ground floor, and offers spacious, comfortable accommodation. Step inside and each room branches off from the hallway; to the left is the sitting room, overlooking the front of the property. This room offers the perfect space for relaxing after a day out exploring this wonderful area, and on cooler nights you can enjoy the glow from the woodburning stove as you relax with a game or good movie. The well-equipped kitchen is next to the sitting room and is of a good size, with everything you will need for your stay. The kitchen opens out to the large conservatory where you can enjoy breakfast while overlooking the extensive back garden. From the hallway you can also access the two bedrooms, which are both ample in size and enjoy views over the front and the back gardens. There is also a family shower room. The fabulous Norfolk coastline is on your doorstep, and with pretty coastal villages easy to discover just a few miles away you will have plenty do here, ensuring you want to return again and again. The area offers excellent walking, golfing nearby and an abundance of wildlife. It is also ideal for road cyclists and there is secure storage for your bikes in the property’s garage. If you’d rather get on the water, you can take a boat trip and perhaps catch a glimpse of the seals from nearby Blakeney or Morston. There is a station close by, on the line known as the Poppy Line, which is a steam train running between Sheringham and Holt throughout the summer months, offering a ‘hop on hop off’ service. With so many interesting things to do and places to visit nearby, beautiful sandy beaches to uncover and comfortable accommodation to return to at the end of each day, this property is ideal all year round.
