  This holiday was booked for memories.

  My husband went over the rainbow 2 years ago & being lucky enough to have a motorhome we would holiday in areas near Hunstanton. Most days we would go for afternoon tea at the Bowling green cafe, where I did visit. When I arrived I couldn't get the key box open so I asked a young couple if they could help me, they got me in after numerous phone calls, they were amazing even emptied my car. I had a good sleep as I had driven from Leeds & was over tired. On Sunday I needed a shower but it wouldn't turn on, so I thought for now I will just have a wash.... NO HOT WATER. Thankfully I did eventually find the switch for the shower high up on the wall outside of the bathroom, but still no running hot water & no instructions, & the toilet seat didn't fit properly it slipped from side to side. The bedroom was ok although the bed was quite hard, the kitchen was ok, but no hot water in there either & no cutlery & I noticed that the microwave wasn't fit straight. The room was the one most depressing room I've ever had to use. All the furniture was brown & old fashioned. There's a sideboard that reeks of fustiness & heyoi i found the cutlery in the stinking drawer. I had to take out what I would use boil some water & let them soak to get rid of the smell. The old fashioned lamp next to the tv was annoying as the bulb was protruding above the shade. Niggling complaints, the bottom of the bowl was disgusting & hadn't been cleaned & the waste bin hadn't been cleaned before the liner was put in, a tv in the bedroom would be nice you don't have to watch it if you don't want to ..... I left on the Wednesday as I was so disappointed & the room was so depressing, unfortunately my friend had to cancel coming with me. It's time for the owners of the flat to upgrade & modernise that room. The flat 2 doors up is beautiful & modern done out in cream. Maybe the owner of Surf should have a look at it. It wasn't a cheap holiday.. I feel well & truly let down as this holiday was supposed to be very special&was anything but Yes you can publish it, i don't believe the comments unless the people who commented were old & didn't mind old grotty furniture.

  Fabulous location.

  Easy reach of all amenities, five minute walk to seafront, pub/restaurant, supermarket and ten minute level walk to town/shops. The fairground was literally on the doorstep but we were never bothered with any noise whatsoever. The accommodation was spotless and very comfortable and well laid out with a separate area with a shared washing machine and chest freezer. The setting is excellent, central but secluded for privacy. The outdoor seating area is great with a suntrap setting. This was a great base for exploring the wee gems of Norfolk and the local area. The owners left us some helpful tips on local eating places and we were never disappointed. The seafront promenade was excellent for walking to town and was clean as a whistle. The local council were out every morning sanitising all benches and hand-railings due to the current Covid-19 situation and gave us great peace of mind in these challenging times, well done Hunstanton Council. This was a great location for a short or extended break and we will certainly recommend it and we would not hesitate to return here. We will certainly recommend Sykes to our friends and family as their team were on the ball from start to finish with regular updates and advice for our holiday, well done, 10 out of 10.

  Lovely oak beamed cottage just a short walk away from the beach, pub (Marstans) and supermarket (Tesco).

  The place is spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds and nice furniture. The dressing table/drawers in the double room should be replaced by a slimline wardrobe like the one in the room with two singles as it's too messy having your clothes hanging around on the hooks. The kitchen is adequately equipped but would have benefited from a fridge with a freezer compartment rather than just a fridge. (I notice from "Alison" a previous reviewer that there was a shared freezer, washing machine and dryer, but I wasn't aware of this during our visit). The tap in the bathroom was almost impossible to switch off so reported this. I should have also reported that the big overhead shower doesn't work and that the vertical drawer next to the fridge is broken (hopefully these will be rectified soon). A note should be left about the fact the floor floods if you don't take the plate off the plug hole! There are some nice touches though... a small supply of tea bags, coffee and sugar when we arrived, along with dish soap, scourer, dish cloth and tea towel. There was also hand soap and air freshner in the bathroom. We enjoyed a very comfortable stay overall and managed to have supper out on the patio two nights of our stay.

  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.

  I have to say that I was disappointed with the property and didn't feel it represented value for money.

  The rain shower didn't work, all clogged up, the lower power shower, couldn't be used to its full potential because it flooded the bathroom, a good couple of inches in the whole bathroom. I called the owner to be told it does that, remove the drain cover and it should be ok here are a couple of towels to mop up the water. So I asked for a mop so I could mop the water up first then use the towels to dry off the floor to make it safe to walk on. The cupboard next to the fridge was broken and the fridge door bashed against it every time you opened and shut it. Couldn't get the central heating working so it was cold in the evenings. You were given a key for each french door but you couldn't operate one of them. Didn't like the clothes rail in front of the french door, this was instead of a wardrobe in the master bedroom. Thankfully the tap in the bathroom was replaced nearly at the end of our stay because we really struggled to turn it off and on. There was no where to put your showergel etc in the shower other than the floor. Would I go back again no.
