"Perfect accomodation for an extended family festive time."
Our 15month old grandson loved the toys provided in the toy box and our dogs appreciated the extensive grounds. All of us loved the huge log burner for which plently of logs were provided. Almost a shame that the weather was so mild! Great kitchen and large dining table. Yummy chocolate cake and a fine bottle of wine welcomed us. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A spacious character property in rustic quiet surroundings surrounded by farmland. Plenty of space for parking. A bottle of red wine and sponge cake on our arrival. Wood burner ready laid and plenty of wood. An enjoyable experience had by all.

"We had a 4 night stay, 5 adults and a teenager lad."
House was fab, spacious, very clean and well equipped. We requested an extra tv to keep our teenager happy, and true to his word, the owner had left a lovely good sized tv for us, along with a bottle of wine and lovely cake.
Its a distance from shops etc, so car is essential, unless you don't mind walking miles. Pet friendly - our little pooch loved the outdoor space.
Lovely mini break away - would highly recommend.
Five Stars!!!

"Most holiday cottages we’ve used appear bigger in the photos than in reality."
This was the other way round - we had plenty of space to spread out, We wanted a short break where the accommodation would be the feature as our daughter is not well and simply needed a change of scenery. This was perfect. Andy was friendly and helpful (and the chocolate cake and wine left for us went down very nicely too).

"'Went wrong ' is far too strong a word."
We enjoyed our break and were comfortable.
The need for some maintenance is why I haven't awarded 5 stars.
Your photos and grading were taken when the property was newly prepared for holiday lets, and we were initially disappointed , even shocked by the poor condition of the door frame and the lounge floor which is badly in need of repainting. As Little Farm has a top rating we expected the property to fully reflect the photos. We also thought that the grounds were marred by various unused and unwanted objects left about e.g old caravan , bricks, corrugated roofing ,shed etc. However we do realise that removal of these objects would probably be costly. Clearly the owner did look after the grounds as far as he was able by keeping the grass well mown and planting saplings.
On the plus side, the property is well appointed and very comfortable. The kitchen has all the necessary equipment and is modern and attractive. The bathrooms and showers are also good. We found the 2 beds we used to be comfortable and the linen was immaculate.
We were impressed that there was no extra charge for pets and no limit put on numbers although no caring owner would want to use the dog kennel!!
If it had'nt been for the maintenance issues we would happily award the property full marks.

"The cleanliness of the cottage was ok but think it needed a deep clean as floors etc were quite dirty ."
Not enough crockery really and furniture was grubby could do with a couple of clean throws over the settees. In general just needs a bit o tlc. Also The outside grounds needs a good tidy up as lots of dumping grounds for old appliances and rubbish, looked a bit like a junk yard. Host was great when asked for more wood for the great log fire told straight away can use more out of the shed

"The shower facilities were a little below standard, I think because of water pressure?"
Also, although generally the cottage was well equipped, it would benefit from a fully comprehensive set of glassware and another set of crockery - one is not enough if you are using a dish washer. However, I would not want this to detract from the lovely week we spent in this peaceful, quiet cottage! It is ideally situated for discovering the whole of Norfolk and instantly felt like home! Andy went above and beyond in the hospitality department with not only wine and cake but eggs, bacon and sausages waiting for us!!

"We booked this mini break with Sykes as we wanted somewhere close to where we live yet far away enough for us to feel we were away from it all."
Little Farm fitted that description perfectly for us. There were four ladies in our party and we each had our own very comfortable room, each room had hanging space and drawers to store our clothes and belongings. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you would need to use. We had a lovely welcome pack on arrival which was very welcome and plenty of tea towels and cleaning products to keep our property clean and tidy.
The sitting room was very spacious with plenty of seating areas and a dining table with seating for six which had plenty of room for us all to sit at. There were numerous DVDs, books and magazines for our pleasure, so no time to get bored. The property sits in a rural community and is surrounded by fields, I expect it is lovely to sit out in on warm days but unfortunately the weather was not that kind to us on this visit. We did find the property quite difficult to find and it actually sits behind a 5 bar gate which needs to be opened to get access to the property. Luckily Andy the owner was there to greet us and show us exactly where to find the key as if he was not there we may have struggled a little to find it, but I suppose for security purposes this is not a bad thing.
The only thing we could have a small issue with was the water pressure in the shower. However we all managed to keep clean and wash our hair, so it certainly didn't spoil our enjoyment.
There is a large pond in the garden, so I don't think it would be suitable for young children if booking in the summer months but perfect for older children in the family as there is plenty of space to kick a football about and play games outside if you have energetic people in your party. We would have loved to explore the outside more but we had wind and rain during our visit so we didn't venture into the garden, but I did see a couple of red deer when I opened my curtains in the morning which was a delight. I would definately recommend Little Farm for a lovely relaxing break away. We went as a group of four ladies but it would also suit families with older children. We had a lovely time in this lovely quaint spacious cottage.

"The only reason I dropped the comfort score by 1 point was due to one quite important factor."
We stayed during what turned out to be a heatwave, which I accept will not be the same for everyone. However on the times that this occurs the cottage would benefit greatly for being prepared for warm weather. In the evenings the heat was quite unbearable. Now I do not think it is reasonable to expect expensive air conditioning, but a reasonable quality fan for all bedrooms would have made a huge difference to the comfort at night. This is I believe a genuine oppotunity to improve on what was otherwise a superb location and a fantastic holiday we will always remember in spite of the extreme temperatures and dripping sweat of the evening. A special mention to the owner for his hospitality and not forgetting his beautiful dog, whom my daughters shall never forget.
