  We've had an amazing family stay in flat 2.

  The flat itself is absolutely gorgeous and located in a beatififul spot overlooking the sea. What a blissful sight to awaken to each morning. Situated between Porth Beach & Watergate Bay it's ideal for sand & surf lovers. We will be highly recommending flat 2 to everyone we know. Just 2 little gripes, the first being the outside patio area. This was for us, and I'm sure many others, the main selling point of the accommodation. What better place to sit and sip a cuppa or eat lunch overlooking the sea. Sadly though, the patio furniture is in a poor state and the metal is all rusted. One of the chairs was rusted so badly it had snapped leaving dangeous rusty spikes. The plants are also too overgrown so once siting out there, the view of the sea is obstructed. A new patio set & a bit of TLC with the plants is all it would take to have this place perfect. The second little gripe is the boiler. We used the heating very briefly for one evening when it turned a little chilly. The boiler was intermittently rumbling and vibrating incredibly loud (kettling). It was very concerning so we turned it off. This is something that needs to be addressed ASAP as can lead to terrible consequences if left. Possibly a good service could fix this. To anyone reading. These are the only 2 minuses in an abundance of plusses this property presents. It truly is absolutely gorgeous. Once sorted, this is the perfect pad!

  The flat is sited perfectly close to all amenities, that's a plus.

  On the other hand, the flat needed maintenance and regular inspection. We were so disappointed that both settees had their liners torn down under them, the cushions were also stained, not washed in a long time. There were cobwebs all around the kitchen and other rooms. Also discovered one of two carving knives had been snapped in half and hidden behind the cutlery tray, the same draw was full of crumbs, not cleaned out for quite a while. The toaster had been damaged and would only work when holding the handle down. The bedroom main light did not work, I discovered the energy saver tube had been smashed and the lamp holder damaged. I replaced this with permition of the owner as I was an electrician. The bed bed felt insecure when you laid on it and creaked badly, luckily i found a screw driver and allen key to tighten it all up. Later as we stripped the bed we discovered that the mattrass on the bed was badly stained, so off putting! We also had to buy our own kitchen sponge, surface cleaner and toilet rolls. Only one toilet roll for two people, very poor! Finally, the entrance to the building was overgrown with wild trees and weeds.

  The flat is very centrally located in Hunstanton, only a few minutes walk from shops, restaurants and beach.

  Seagulls kept us awake at night and left droppings on our car, but this is to be expected in a seaside resort. It's good that the flat has its own parking space, although access down the alleyway is tight. There is a mistake in the driving instructions; from the High Street you turn right into Old Bakery Lane, not left. Inside the furniture is basic, especially the dining table and benches which are flimsy and uncomfortable to sit on. But the kitchen is well equipped and the bed was OK. We booked both flats 2 and 3 for our extended family, which worked out really well; the two flats share a common, lockable, entrance and stairs, so we were able to leave our internal flat doors open and come and go as we pleased. Unfortunately Sykes' website makes it really difficult to do this; they need to change it so that one person can book two holiday homes at once. We had to phone up and ask a staff member to sort it out; they were helpful and did.

  Well situated property, not far from the M5 so a journey to the South Coast, Devon/Dorset isn't a problem.

  Quite village with gentle walks from the property, canal paths easily accessible. Pub in the village serves basic but good pub food. The property is spotlessly clean and has all the facilities you need, very comfortable. Apartment is first floor and is accessed by some steps to the rear of the property, lovely views across the fields. Unfortunately the week we stayed the weather wasn't the best but we found plenty to do. Thoroughly recommend the West Somerset Railway, the Bishops Lydeard Country Living Museum and slightly further afield Coldharbour Mill in Devon, (down the M5). Also a 55 minute drive to Sidmouth in Dorset to visit the Donkey Sanctuary. Our hosts, Mr and Mrs Allen (along with Holly the dog) welcomed us on arrival but just let us get on with our holiday, always there if needed. All in all an enjoyable stay and no hesitation in staying again should we holiday in Somerset.

  A little gem of a property!

  The flat is well-equipped, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Having all the accommodation on one floor was great for us as Mum has mobility issues and can't manage stairs (the few steps up to the front door weren't an issue). The beds were super-comfy, and having an allocated parking space off-road was a bonus. By far the best thing about the property is the view from the lounge - we had some stunning sunsets, and the weather held just enough for us to enjoy the odd glass of wine on the terrace. Thank you very much for the welcome goodies - the tea and biscuits were much appreciated after a long drive, and a lovely touch (that Cornish tea is lovely!). All in all we had a lovely week in your delightful property and would definitely recommend it. (So sorry again about your bread board!)
