What our customers say about their holidays

  The Barn itself had everything you could need, the shower was powerful, the mirror in the bathroom the girls loved, towels were nice and fluffy and dried you beautifully.

  Main bedroom, the bed is firm, husband found it comfortable and slept well, the lampshades had cobwebs on them and generally dusty, the twin room was a bit tight for space but the girls ( X2 16 year olds) managed and slept well. Kitchen had a dish washer big enough to cope with a family of 4, we did do a Sunday roast, tall fridge freezer, not much in the way for cupboard space. Internet is slow, was unable to watch Netflix without it being pixelated or reloading, tried to do some uni work but internet pages were slow to load up, gave up. Games room would be better if there were more usable cues, there were many without tips, there were only 2, I would say, that were of any good, when you've got a snooker table and 2 pool tables- definitely not enough to go round. The swimming pool is technically heated as can feel warmth coming through the pump but definitely not warm/up to temperature, needed to get acclimatised to the water temperature before being able to swim, a family had used the pool the day before and had left a window open, which resulted in loads of flies/bugs being in the pool, spent about 20 mins trying to get them into the filter, no equipment to be able to skim the water to remove them, got out in the end as couldn't swim in it without being surrounded. Also no shower area near the pool, have to go through the barn to get showered. Whilst there we had an electricity cut- not isolated to the barns (covered 6 postcodes, quite a large area affected) but we had to contact the 'maintenance team' who let us know what was going on and sent us a link to follow the engineers repairs. However, no contact from the owner all. Not sure if I would recommend to others given the cleanliness and lack of maintenance, we probably won't return either but we enjoyed our week away.

  We decided to get away for Christmas this year and this barn seemed absolutely perfect.

  However there were a few things that we were quite disappointed with. The games room: incredibly dusty and not kept clean, there were no decent snooker cues all had bad tips or no tips, the felt on the snooker table was also split in places and covered in dust and debris it is also very poorly lit. One pool table also has balls missing. There were balls and bats for the table tennis however one table was damaged across one corner and not usable. The pool is absolutely freezing, there are no toilets in the area so you have to go back to house for a toilet. There are three changing areas in the pool area (shower curtains attached to the wall) no showers in pool area. Lots of pool accessories such as a football goal, balls, arm bands and floats, however none in tact and need replacing which was disappointing as we had a small child with us and were looking forward to spending lots of time in the pool. The house is beautiful with great views, comfy beds and a well equipped kitchen (utensils, pots and pans. However it really lacks some TLC and needs a serious deep clean there is a lot of dust and so much of it under the sofas and beds (we had a few toys roll under the sofa and bed hence how we noticed). There were no extra bin bags, washing up liquid had not been refilled, and there was only one toilet roll provided for our 5 day stay there were also no hand towels provided in the kitchen. Overall we made the most of what we had with what was available. We believe that with some extra attention paid to the upkeep and cleanliness it could be a place we would return.

  A great apartment close to the centre of Fakenham and in a quiet location. It was great to have private allocated parking in a town centre environment and with the benefit of an outside space to eat / relax. Inside the property is nicely furnished, and as there was just the two of us it was nice and spacious. The double bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was of a good size. The owners had provided all the utensils and facilities that we could want for our stay and we were delighted with the generous 'starter' pack of goodies. Thank you. We'd highly recommend 7 Swan Court and, if visiting the area again, would certainly stay there once more.

  Very nicely presented.

  Internet was via mobile router, so was usable, but a little patchy (only able to stream one thing, and often would become unusable if more than 2-3 devices was accessing content). Our Blu-Ray player wasn't working (device was, but controller wasn't) - not the end of the world! Swimming pool as a little cool (was heated, but clearly struggling with temperature in early Nov). Games room was excellent - although I would suggest getting new 'consumables' (chalk for pool cues, nets for table tennis, etc.) would make it even better!?

  The swimming pool and games room were both fantastic for our children.

  The pool was a great size and being shallow meant it was ideal for our children but it was also fun for adults too! The accommodation was beautiful - really cosy and we enjoyed playing some of the board games. Our children were thrilled to play Minecraft and Harry Potter Lego games on the Xbox and my wife enjoyed using the coffee machine! It was a beautiful location and we would definitely be keen to return.
