What our customers say about their holidays

  Some of the mattresses are very old and dirty.

  They have clean mattress protectors on but, when stripping the beds at the end, the protectors came away too revealing very old mattresses. I didn't check all of them just the two I stripped. In May a review mentioned the stained settee. The owners answer was to cover up with what looked like quilted throws off the beds. They didn't fit well and were constantly slipping off the settee. The coffee table in the lounge which was originally black had chips of white all over it so it never looked clean. The vacuum cleaner didn't pick anything up. When I checked the brushes they were completely clogged with dirt, hair and fluff. It would have been a long job to breathe life back into it. I only hope the cleaners were using their own equipment.The owner needs to check that equipment is in a usable state. The wash basins in the bathrooms were very small and, with a glass shelf above, impossible to get your face over. I think the three star rating should really be 2 star. My family all agreed it felt like student digs. On the plus side the location is excellent. There was plenty of space for the 6 young children to run around. The kitchen was well equipped for a large group. You get parking for 2 cars for the week for free and extra parking permits are available for £5 for each 24hrs from the owner but you are not guaranteed a parking spot especially at the weekends. However, Sainsbury's is a 10 minute walk away and my son parked there for the week for £21. Finally be aware that because of Covid you can't get in the property until 5pm and you have to vacate at 9am. The cleaners arrived at 9.02am. These were not the times I was given when I made the booking earlier and it was quite a rush to get 9 adults and 6 children breakfasted, packed, beds stripped etc. and out by 9am on leaving day.

  We had a lovely stay in Clover court.

  The rooms were clean and the house well equipped. There was plenty of space for the 16 of us to enjoy each other’s company but also have room to retreat! The kitchen is large and well equipped and each of the rooms having their own en suite meant no queuing for the bathroom The living area is spacious and allowed us room to sit and read or watch TV and the large dining table was ideal for family meals The beach was within walking distance and dog friendly and we enjoyed swimming in the sea. The only downside was the previous occupants had taken the wifi router! The owner did his very best to replace this and get it working. It did, unfortunately mean we had to spend extra on wifi cloud connection for the first 4 days as myself, and 3 other family members had unavoidable work meetings whilst away.

  Walnut Tree cottage is ideal if you are looking to stay in a peaceful location.

  The owners were friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome, including our dog. The basket of food and drink left for us on arrival was a nice touch. The cottage was very clean, spacious and well equipped. The lounge was cosy and the bed was comfortable. The pleasant garden at the front and side of the property is accessible from the front door. This area is in an enclosed space and safe for our dog to roam about without the worry of him escaping. There is a convenience store a couple of minutes walk away and a pub which serves delicious meals. We enjoyed nice walks with the dog around the area of Burgh Castle and on the beach at Winterton on sea. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to book another holiday there one day soon.

  I cannot recommend this property highly enough.

  For a large family/party (including our beloved dogs) the property was absolute perfection. The living space, the dining area and the kitchen are perfectly proportioned and accommodating. All presented to high standards. The bedrooms were clean, perfectly presented, light and airy. The location was perfect. 3 minutes walk to the beach and facilities whilst being just far enough away to be quiet at night. I have recommended to friends and will continue to do so. Communication with owner and key holder was comforting. Local knowledge passed on from keyholder was very informative and helpful. A fantastic weekend enjoyed by all. Thank you

  We were very pleased with the property.

  As a group we decided to make a fairly last minute booking and were after accommodation for 8 - 12 people as we were unsure if we would all be able / wish to go do to issues around Covid. The accommodation was therefore perfect in that there were 6 double rooms and 6 single rooms (although one of the single rooms was not really usable due to water ingress). It was in a great location and Ronald and Luke were very helpful. Luke met us at the property to explain check in and out arrangements. The kitchen was fully stocked, there was a washing machine, dishwasher etc... and we were very pleased with both the owners and property. Would recommend.
