  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.

  We absolutely loved our stay here.

  It was so nice, cosy and peaceful. We were the first guests to stay so felt very special and very welcome. The hosts were lovely and very attentive. Got everything we needed and was around if we needed anything. We felt very welcome and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and the TV built in was amazing! The shower was incredible! There was great scenery and surroundings. The garden was lovely to sit in. We felt very happy on our stay. The Annexe was fully equipped with everything we needed and had great facilities in every room. It was a really nice holiday for us and there was many beaches and places to visit nearby. There was a lovely little walk near by as well to get some fresh air. We really enjoyed our stay. It felt like our own little home for the week :) It was very clean and tidy and the fire was so cosy! Was very warm in every room which was lovely. A really nice place to stay. Will definitely be back :)

  Living in a detached house in a small village near York, it was something of a gamble to rent this terraced house in the middle of a town.

  On the first night, we ordered an Indian takeaway, walked in the wrong direction down Town Lane and got lost for a whole hour. When we finally collected our meal and found Ted's Place we thought we had locked myself out and Sarah's husband had to let us in. This is a lovely property, which had everything we could have dreamed of and we ultimately enjoyed a fantastic week. The neighbours (we are very detached from them at home), got up early and woke us up. Their dogs barked and made my dog bark. People walked past the windows, front and back. They were however really nice, friendly people, as were all of the other people we met in Aylsham. Bottom line is, we enjoyed ourselves so much that we want to come back next year, if you will have us. P.S. Thank you for all the goodies you left for us.

  We had a lovely stay in Ted's Place.

  Sarah our host was very helpful and left us some lovely chocolates and prosecco which was a nice touch. The house was very clean and there were fresh cut daffodils in the kitchen and lounge. It really was a home away from home and has everything you need in the house. Our dog loved the garden and was perfect. The next door neighbor, also called Sarah, is very friendly and helpful in recommending local places to see and eat. This would be a nice place to visit in the summer and enjoy the garden. If visiting Norfolk for the first time I recommend visiting Horsey beach to see the seals, highlight of our holiday! Thanks Sarah for being a great host!

  Lovely comfy warm property but.

  .. Neighbours really unfriendly - one didn't like us stopping outside Ted's place to unload (road too narrow outside property) and the other unhelpful when we asked about recycling, just concerned about us closing the gate. Communal access to back door and garden of Ted's place accessed re shared path. We didn't use the back garden or back access as didn't want to upset neighbour. Once inside very comfortable and lots of treats - biscuits, flowers etc. Second bedroom very tight and gas boiler in cupboard. Very high step to front door and considering issues with neighbour, back access not desirable! Had to park up lane or adjoining road.
