What our customers say about their holidays

  “We didn&#39;t realise that 35 Siesta Mar was on a chalet park until we arrived. However the chalet park is lovely - the chalets are well spaced out with lots of grass and flowers and a small area behind the chalet with a useful washing line. Whilst we were there (July, beginning of the school holidays) the park was very peaceful and quiet and seemed to mainly appeal to older couples. The chalet is small but very well organised with everything you need. There were lots of helpful touches like little labels on the the switches to tell you what they control. There was no free cupboard to store food in the kitchen, but we moved a trolley out of one of the bedrooms for the duration of our stay and it was perfect for cereals, fruit etc. There is a Tesco Express 5 minutes walk away and a Waitrose a short drive away. The chalet is perfectly situated for a peaceful seaside holiday. There are lovely local walks both by the coast and in the countryside. You can walk to the beach in about 6 mins from the chalet if you want to go down steep steps. If you take a slightly longer walk (10-15 mins) through the village you reach the main beaches, which are beautiful and not crowded. There are some stones but large areas of soft sand too. There is a lovely fish and chip shop in the village that even offers gluten free and is to be highly recommended. There are also lots of places to visit nearby too. We booked this in a hurry as soon as lockdown restrictions allowed and weren&#39;t really sure what to expect, but had a wonderful holiday and would definitely go back. Thank you for such a lovely, well maintained holiday home. A lot of thought and care has gone into looking after this chalet to a very high standard.<br /> ”

  “Booked very last minute, primary requirements were close to the beach and easy access shower. Chalet is on a site which is excellently maintained, chalet itself was well maintained, clean and provided everything needed (including windbreak for the beach, umbrella for sitting in the sun) Dark skies at night (just what I love) and incredibly quiet - slept through the night, I didn&#39;t even hear the torrential rain on the Thursday night. There are no services on site, but the site is a 10 minute walk to the village centre, where there is a butcher, baker and grocers, pharmacy and other local services. There is a Tesco Express one minute walk away, next to the petrol station. Although the beach is 700 m walk away, to reach the beach you need to negotiate the steep stairs down the side of the cliff. I would recommend walking the 10 minutes into the village centre for easier access, however it&#39;s worth the climb down and you can walk along the beach towards the village centre and come back that way. I also walked towards Trimmingham, and went on the beach there. There didn&#39;t seem to be too much in the way of evening dining, during the day, plenty of choise for fish n chips, etc otherwise a couple of hotels really was all I could find - but I didn&#39;t look that hard. We drank at The Star Inn one early evening, but didn&#39;t eat there. We did have one takeaway, I would recommend the New Sage chinese takeaway. For walking, the lanes were fairly quiet, and the pavements around the village well maintained. There were plenty of short cuts, if you want to explore the village.<br /> Overall, a thoroughly relaxing stay and the weather was wonderful”

  We were very disappointed with the cottage.

  It was far from the high standard we usually receive when we book with Sykes. 1. The bathroom was in a poor decorative condition. The radiator was rusty and did not always heat up. The bathroom itself seemed dated and not in good condition. Surfaces had not been cleaned and the shower cubicle had discoloured grout. The toiletry holder in the shower was also rusty. 2. There was obviously a problem with the heating system. When it came on it was very noisy and the radiators did not always heat up. On the last morning we woke up we had no heating or hot water. This was remedied by early afternoon. 3. We used the washing machine, but our clothes came out with black bits on them. On closer inspection we could see that water had collected in the seals and the machine had not been maintained. 4. The outside area had not been prepared for visitors. The outside dryer had algae on it, as did the table for sitting out. The area where the table was situated had not been cleared of moss and weeds. We had a period of good weather before and during our visit so would have liked to have made more use of this. The cottage was spacious for two people but lacked the care and attention to make a comfortable holiday property.

  “The second time we have stayed here and will do so again in the future, have recommended, also to other, friends, family and work colleagues alike. The new outside bench is very welcomed and makes for a comfortable sit in the evening sun. Enjoyed the new TV set also, welcomed, as we watched the footy on this a couple of occasions. The accommodation is very comfortable, the one thing we noticed this time above the last was, the need for a pathway from carpark to front door. on our first visit it had crossed our minds but on this occasion, due to the weather on a couple of days, experiencing showers and heavy rain one night, we missed not having a paved pathway as the grounds lawns appeared to have been mowed, one afternoon, as the grass was wet it did make entering the property difficult without some grass trail, we cleared the bulk but was unable to clear all, unfortunately, we were unable to clear this all again on the day we departed. due to the moistness we worried rubbing this would cause staining to the carpet. Overall this is a very very comfortable property and whilst Mundesley is a little quieter than other towns near by, it still has the best beach. In answer to the next question, YES, MOST DEFINITELY. ”
