"Was greeted by Julie and warmly welcomed."
We even had a paddling pool filled and ready for the younger ones to use, boy did we need it
It was lovely to see you all again. Thank you for staying Property Owner

"The place was great and easy to find, by following the instructions."
We were met by Julie who showed us around. It is big, old and very roomy. Quite quirky with some of the facilities. There was for once enough plates cutlery and pots n pans in the house. We have seen shortages before, but this was really good. The surrounding country side was amazing. We saw hares and deer on the lawn as well as the Guinea fowl, who were quite happy to walk around us. The pub in walking distance had good food and beer, and was able to fit the twelve of us in after booking. So we went twice. We found the games room really well equipped, so take your darts. We had one issue that the water was too hot in some showers, Julie had the plumber out the next working day and it was fixed. As a family group we take a house twice a year, this one will always be remembered, for the right reasons.
Thank you David &or your lovely feedback. I’m glad you all had enjoyable break Property Owner

"Great place to stay."
Ideally located. Very clean and very will equipped.
Your feedback is much appreciated. Thank you all for staying Property Owner

"A lovely property with great facilities."
The games room is a real treat though the billiard table could do with a little maintenance on the pockets. A very peaceful setting with a lovely pub not too far away.
Thank you Graham for your feedback. I will look at the pockets of the snooker table as I wasn’t aware of the problem. I’ll try and source someone to repair or replace them Property Owner

"The property was even better than we anticipated."
My family and friends had a lovely stay and we would not hesitate to book to stay again.
Thanks James. You’ll be welcome back anytime Property Owner

"Our holiday began with a lovely welcome from the property manager and our week continued in a positive way."
The house was big enough for our large family group to enjoy being together and small cosy lounges added breakout spaces. We loved cooking together in the very well equipped kitchen, got comparative in the superb games room and our dog loved the space outside and the excellent access to lovely walks. Would definitely recommend for large family groups.
Thank you so much Julie for your lovely feedback. I’m pleased you all had a great holiday Regards Julie Property Owner

"An excellent venue for a big gathering, very comfortably furnished and great provision for all ages especially the games room with snooker table tennis and darts."
Excellent communication and service with Julie the caretaker. One small grumble- it would have been good to know that the 2 days worth of logs mentioned in the briefing also applied to dishwasher tablets and toilet rolls ( which we would have brought with us rather than make a visit to a supermarket soon after arrival)
Glad you had a good time. As this is self catering accommodation I provide enough essentials for your initial arrival. Hand soap, dishwasher tablets, laundry tablets, kitchen rolls, toilet rolls (2 per bathroom), tea towels, washing up liquid, pan scrubs etc, welcome pack - milk, tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits. . It wouldn’t be cost effective to cater for 14 + people for 7 nights without increasing prices. I will see if Sykes can add this to the accommodation details. Thank you for visiting Property Owner

"We had a fantastic stay and I would recommend it to anyone."
It is a rabbit warren and the kids loved roaming and exploring. The separate snooker/table tennis/darts room is a must and the outside spaces must be wonderful in summer. One observation - the plumbing system can't really support the number it accommodates. Two of the bathrooms have no shower over the baths, and the master suite shower ran cold all stay. Others have noted this for some time in the maintenance logs at the Lodge and but for that it would have had 5 stars. It also needs new tennis table bats and darts for the next season!

"The property was brilliant for a multigenerational holiday."
Beautifully decorated for Christmas and well situated for exploring the area
I’m very glad you all enjoyed your Christmas at the Lodge…… I am still taking the decorations down (10th January)!! Thank you for staying Julie Property Owner

"We so enjoyed our stay."
The perfect setting for bringing friends and family together. A warren of a house with so much history.

"Everything was lovely & the Manager was very helpful."
The kitchen was very well supplied for all that was needed for a large group. One of the beds in a room on the 2nd floor was found to be uncomfortable as it was an adult sleeping in it. We think it is usually used for a child so this wouldn't be noted as a problem. There were some flies on the windows upstairs which we know the owner is dealing with. This didn't detract from a good week in a special house.
Thank you for visiting Regards Julie Property Owner

"Had a fantastic family weekend at Southrepps celebrating our golden wedding anniversary."
What an amazing place with everything you could possibly need. We intended to have a trip to the beach but we felt so relaxed and at home at the property that we spent the whole of the weekend at the house. The kids spent hours playing hide and seek as well as playing football outside. The games room was a bonus and was enjoyed by both the adults and the kids. Julie the site manager was very helpful and helped to make our stay memorable. Thank you for helping us to make memories and would definately recommend this property.
What lovely feedback. Thank you. I'm so glad you all had such a good weekend Julie Property Owner

"Lovely spot for multi-generational family holiday."
Extremely helpful house manager who is very responsive and goes out of her way to ensure guests are well catered for. Thank you
Thank you Sheila, it was lovely to meet you all Property Owner

"Great location and ideal for large groups."
Visually very impressive on your first approach down that long drive, which sets the tone when you first enter to explore the huge interior. Near enough to many great beaches and various sites in Norfolk and lots of space. (9 adults and 5 children for us). Everybody who stays here will have varying comments whether its bed comfort or something personal to them, we didn't use the freezer facilities very much but could have done with more fridge space. It's an older property with lots of history, which does come with a few low doors so mind your head if tall like me. Being used to catering for large groups it has ample supplies of all manner of equipment. I would use it again and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Thanks to Julie (property.manager) who was very helpful and sorted out any questions and issues that arose. Yes I would recommend it to others.
Thank you Tim for your lovely feedback, I’m glad you all enjoyed your holiday at The Lodge Property Owner

"The house was really very nice."
Lots of rooms, and bedrooms, and on the whole comfortable. A courtyard area with barbeques, a long table and chairs, all very pleasant. Slightly disappointing was the issue of the hot water supply, which did not stay hot for very long when we all returned from a day out and needed showers! For the cost of the rent of the property I think something should be done about this lack of hot water issue.
-
"We had a lovely family holiday."
The house was really lovely - very well equipped with some really comfortable features. And lots of room! The local pub was excellent- food very good and great service. Lots to see and do locally. Julie the house manager was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you Tim for your lovely feedback. I'm pleased you all had a lovely holuday Julie6 Property Owner

"The property is a unique and quirky place with lots of space for our party of 12 adults and 1 baby."
The bedrooms are mostly fine although one room on the 2nd floor had a nearly double bed but it's really a single room. The kitchen is really well equipped with everything we needed for cooking and drinks. We had a lovely welcome basket with biscuits and drinks. It's really refreshing to find enough dishwasher tablets for our week-long stay. The mattress in the main bedroom is really soft and spongy meaning you roll together. Given the size of this room it really warrants a bigger than double bed. The snooker and table tennis room is a great asset and there were rooms we didn't use as there's so much space. The biggest issue for us was not having enough hot water for showers when required. This really needs addressing. There's a lovely big bath in the main bathroom but not enough hot water to use it! Julie was friendly, welcoming and approachable although the poor phone signal in the area meant she didn't receive my message until we went out. We ate and drank at the Vernon Arms and it's a lovely pub with great food and on the whole catered well for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters. We had a lovely family holiday here
Thank you for you feedback. The bedroom on the top floor is advertised as a single room but I replaced the single bed with a 3/4 one just in case anyone wanted a bigger bed for one person. I did mention that the hot water tanks do not have the capacity to accommodate a lot people showering at the same time of day. This is a very old house so it is not possible to alter the plumbing or capacity of the tanks without major upheaval No one has flagged before up that there isn’t enough hot water to fill the large bath (this is an above average sized bath) and I guess it depends how full you wanted it before the hot water ran out. I have now UPDATE - it appears that both the timers to the hot water tanks had decided to go wrong at the same time. The problem has been attended to and hopefully resolved Property Owner

"Amazing place exceeded expectations Such good value for money Only niggle ..."
Amazing place exceeded expectations Such good value for money Only niggle was the beds, mattresses very uncomfortable had this complaint from every couple in a double bed We had the master suite only had a double bed with a foot board not suitable when you’re 6’6” would have expected a king size and awful roll to the middle mattress, But we would still go back, Julie the house keeper extremely helpful and always at the end of the phone Fantastic place for a family get together Highly recommend
I will investigate the mattress problem. None are very old and all have mattress toppers on too. I don’t really want to replace the bed in the master bedroom as it is part of the theme of that room. It is very difficult to supply beds to suit individual preferences regarding height, build , hard vs soft mattresses, footboards etc. there is a king size bed in one of the other bedrooms. However, thank you for visiting, it would be nice to see you again in the future Julie Property Owner

"Great place and lovely quite area, great local butchers, prepared everything we asked for fresh."
Owners of the property were lovely and anything we asked was not an issue, would definitely visit again. Local pubs where friendly and great walks around the area.
Thank you for visiting. You’ll be welcome back anytime Julie Property Owner

"We enjoyed a very successful extended family reunion in Southrepps Lodge."
The property is well appointed and comfortable, with an ambiance which is both welcoming and relaxing. I would have no reservations in thoroughly recommending the property. The local agent was particularly helpful.
It was so lovely to meet you and all your family on your special birthday. Thank you for visiting Property Owner
-
"A very good place to celebrate a special occasion, with plenty of room for a big celebration with all the family."
The lighting in the snooker room, lots of the led bulbs were out and a direct light on the dartboard would be helpful, because the shadow of a beam goes right across the dartboard. These did not affect our overall enjoyment of our stay
Glad you had an enjoyable break. I’m waiting for the electrician to come a fit new transformers to the lights you mentioned and also fit a light for the dart board Thank you for staying UPDATE - lighting has been attended to Property Owner

"Perfect house for a large group!"
We were a hen party and the house had everything we needed and more. Every person said how perfect it was. The only issue was the hot water ran out after a few people had showers in the mornings. So some people had to have cold ones. Apart from that it was incredible. Julie the house manager was brilliant also, very accommodating and a good communicator. Will be recommending
Thanks Harriet Unfortunately when I greeted you upon arrival I forgot to mention that if too many people had showers at the same time the tanks haven’t got the capacity for large numbers at once. I do apologise but I’m glad you all had an enjoyable time Thank you for visiting Property Owner

"Southrepps is a fantastic holiday home for a large group."
My family of 10 adults, 6 children and a baby had a wonderful time. The house was warm and there are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, a well equipped kitchen and lots of living space to spread out, including a table big enough to all eat together. The playroom was great for the children and we thoroughly enjoyed the snooker room with ping-pong and other games too. Julie was extremely helpful and arranged a quick repair when needed.
Thank you Marion for your lovely feedback and kind comments. It was lovely to meet you all. Have a fab birthday Property Owner

"Southrepps Lodge is an excellent venue for a large reunion (there were 18 family members in our party), with a good many bedrooms and lounges (I am not sure we found them all), and it is well equipped (and with a snooker room, too)."
The long drive from the gate to the house made us think we were arriving at Windsor Castle; and with quiet countryside and the sea within reach, as well as many of Norfolk's 600 medieval churches to explore, and local pubs offering Admans beer, what is there not to like?
Thank you so much John for your lovely comments. I wish you and your family many more happy holidays together. Thank you for visiting Property Owner

"Had a nice weekend thanks ' slightly disappointed that Sykes didn't mention ..."
Had a nice weekend thanks ' slightly disappointed that Sykes didn't mention broken windows ' multiple radiators leaking and so many flies it was unbelievable and unbearable for the younger children who constantly stating weren't going to sleep in the property that cost a lot of money and really we should of been warned about the fly infestation
I can only apologies about the flies. They come without warning and despite my best efforts I did not manage to rectify the problem. I did mention them upon your arrival and offered to attend whenever you wanted to hoover up etc. It is no help to you I know, but I have a specialist company coming this week to fog all the attic and roof spaces. The radiators arnt leaking. There are 2 rooms with rust marks under the valve where someone in the past had not bled them correctly. I have tried with no luck to remove them. They are historic stains and the radiators work perfectly. The rest of the carpets in those rooms are in a good clean condition. At some point in the future these carpets will be replaced but in a 24 roomed house there has to be a maintainence and replacement schedule. There are often problems which arise with equipment, heating, electrics which are attended to immediately. It is impossible to do everything at once Unfortunately a guest staying recently broke some of the small panes at the very top of the gothic head leaded windows. This window does not open. II secured them with clear plastic to make them safe and weatherproof. Due to the location of these damaged panes it would not have spoilt the view from the window. The property is grade 2 listed and everything has to be replaced correctly. It is in hand, the glass has to be specially cut to size and installed by a proffessional. It is not something that can be done by a handyman. It is also on the third floor and a scaffold tower is needed. I personally didn’t feel it was worth mentioning to Sykes as to me the window is being dealt with and the rust stains have always been there. On another note, you arrived with 2 dogs who weren’t mentioned when booking, you didn’t pay for them nor did you offer I am sorry if these issues spoilt your stay Julie Stevens Property manager Property Owner

"This was a very impressive house approached by a lovely driveway."
The house was very spacious and extremely quirky. The master suite was a joy to behold. It was enormous. The kitchen was also very efficient with 2 dishwashers and 2 fridge freezers to cope with all needs. There was plenty of safe outside space for children to play and a lovely walled courtyard that was perfect for barbeques. The only drawbacks we found were the bed in the master suite. I know it was a Victorian bed but it was so uncomfortable, very bouncy and it was impossible to tuck sheets in easily. Most of the bedrooms had efficient curtains to cut out the light but not all. One in particular at the top of the house had very thin curtains and our grandson was awake at 5am every morning. Overall it was a lovely house and I wish we had found it a few years ago when our grandchildren were a bit younger.
Thank you for your comments. I am in the process of replacing the mattresses which need it. All other comments have been taken onboard and will be addressed. Unbeknown to me the cleaners had removed the mattress cover on the bed you mentioned hence the sheet would not stay on. This has now been rectified. Thank you for staying Property Owner

"Very accommodating host brilliant stay!"

"Brilliant property in great quiet location."
Listed building so don’t expect everything to be brand new, but real character and nothing that put any of us off - a party of 10 lively 60+ pensioners. We would return tomorrow with our family, which includes small children and a dog. No problems with hot water or storage facilities. Wi-Fi was generally pretty good apart from in second floor bedrooms - but might be considered a bonus? Julie the managing agent was very helpful and lives close by if any problems.
Thank you for your feedback and comments. I have tried to make the property homely, family and dog friendly and as you say, furniture is not high end by any means but then if the kids or dogs jump on it it doesn’t matter too much. I hope you return with your family, it will be lovely to see you again. Will look into a Wi-Fi booster Update…..2 boosters have been purchased Property Owner

"Really lovely homely house with everything you could possibly need for your stay."
The kitchen is so well equipped. The men loved the snooker room, the kids loved the space and the garden. Us ladies would have loved the hot tub but sadly that is not currently available. That would have been the cherry on the top I think. The house needs a little bit of TLC in places but its a lovely homely place for a stay with a large group of people. It just takes a little while to learn your way around!! Julie was really helpful and great to deal with. We would stay again.
We had to make the decision to discontinue the hot tub option. This was due to it taking over 15 hours to get to temperature plus whatever cost to maintain that temperature for the duration of the guests stay. With the high energy prices, the owner decided to withdraw this service . Property Owner

"Lovely big house in a great location , needs a bit of TLC in certain areas but that didn’t affect our stay in anyway ."
Julie was a excellent host who was very responsive to any requests . Would definitely stay again
We are gradually trying to redecorate some areas when we have a gap between guests. Some new headboards, a new bed and a mattress are on order. Replacement windows in the frames where the glass has blown are on order too. Property Owner

"Wonderful well-equipped house in excellent location."

"Early family Christmas get together 12 Adults 5 children."
We all had such a great time. I have never seen such well equipped kitchen just about everything you required. Beds were comfy and showers were good. So much space and different rooms. The child’s playroom was an absolute bonus. Julie had trimmed the house for Christmas which was greatly appreciated and lovely. All in all a great house loads of atmosphere and I am still not sure I saw it all !!!!!
Thank you Debbie for your kind feedback. It wa a pleasure to meet you. Wishing you all a happy christmas Julie Property Owner

"We had the BEST weekend visiting for my 40th."
The scale and size of the house is so much bigger than portrayed in the photos - we were so pleasantly surprised! We had a lovely hamper of teas / coffee etc for us when we arrived. There was so much space!! The snooker table was an absolute hit with the kids especially! Julie was fantastic from start to finish, she made us feel welcome and was so accommodating. Thank you! I would defo recommend Southrepps and we will 100% be back! And we LOVED having an Aga. The kitchen is so well stocked with pans pots cutlery, literally everything you can think of! Thank you! X

"Very large house - enough room to house everyone in our party and well equipped."
House is an old house, could do with a rennovation, but the price paid was reasonable for what we got. They just put in a new boiler but hot water did still run out on occasions. Communication with Julie was good. There were soiled towels left in the property, which let down the cleanliness. We receieved an apology for this.
After a busy season we have not had chance to do any renovations but top to bottom stairs have been decorated this week and both front lounges have new carpets ordered. Renovation is this huge property will be ongoing I did explain that the capacity of the hot water tanks will not sustain a large number of people bathing at the same time so best to stagger ie morning and evening Thank you for staying Property Owner

"Great accommodation for us being family and friends 12 people."
Plenty of cutlery, crockery etc as places that scrimp mean you use the dishwasher more. Loads of kitchen equipment. Enough room to get lost in and a great place for kids. We hired the hot tub and snooker room. Julie was excellent being there when we arrived and departed and contacted us midweek stay. Location is excellent being close to the beach, walking and the Broads. Used The Canoe Man for a trip down the River Bure well worth it.
-
"The property delivers in every way."
We had a group of 10 adults and 10 children ranging from 15 to 2 years. We were all very comfortable and the in house facilities catered for all our needs. The grounds were also fantastic and we all enjoyed a hugely enjoyable game of cricket. The lodge is steeped in history and exploring when arrive is very enjoyable. The location is also very handy for a number of local beaches and also the variety of wildlife in and around the property is superb. Overall we gave it 10/10 and hope to come back soon
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I do hope you will return in the future Property Owner

"The property was perfect for our needs."
Three families, two dogs plus me, grandma, recovering from the loss of her husband of almost 50 years. We all loved Southrepps and the area. Great times, great memories. Reminded me of boarding school but only the good parts! Thank you.
-
"We all had a great time in this beautiful lodge where we were made to feel properly at home from the moment we stepped through the front door."
The Lodge is well equipped with ample cooking pans and large bowls, lots of china and glasses too. The bed linen was good quality - crisp and white and the towels all white and fluffy - proper 5* comfort. Just one thing, the third floor was incredibly hot but I have to mention we were there in the 40C heatwave! Thanks so much, it was great and if we find another occasion we will be back. Joy
Thanks Joy. It was lovely to meet you all and you will be very welcome to return. The window in question has been surveyed by a professional to try and get it functioning again but as it is a grade 2 listed building we have to be careful how it is renovated to keep in with the regulations Property Owner

"Plug in the poppy room rear of house not working."
The water runs out when trying to wash.plus a strong smell of diesel in the room
Thank you for your feedback, the sink plug has been mended. Had you have let me know during your stay of the problem, I would have had it attended to for you.. However, Unless diesel smell came from a passing vehicle it is a mystery as to what you smelt as there is no diesel in or around the property Property Owner

"14 adults, 4 children and the dogs all loved the stay."

"We came for a surprise 50th birthday celebration for 6 lads and their wives."
The wives all booked it so we knew the house was going to be stunning the lads faces were amazing they was over the moon with everything, the games room is a definite must and we hired a hot tub which was an added bonus, everything had been thought of even down to leaving us milk in the fridge for a much needed cuppa when we arrived, Julie the house keeper was extremely helpful and showed us where everything was ( the house is a maze) would definitely recommend a visit for any occasion even with 11 of us there you still had plenty of room to have quiet moments, we honestly had the best weekend and couldn't have asked for a better location to celebrate. Thank you for having us we will definitely be booking again

"Can not recommend Southrepps Lodge enough."
13 of us stayed for the weekend to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't on our side, so we didn't get to explore outside, but the snooker table was well used as was the open fire in the front room. The whole house enables everyone to gather together whether it's to play games, eat or annoy the person cooking by standing around in the kitchen! But also has plenty of rooms if you want a bit of peace and quiet. House was very well equipped. Julie, the housekeeper, is very friendly and helpful answering all the questions we asked. Would love to go back someday.
Thank you for your great feedback. I’m so glad you all had a lovely weekend despite the weather. You are welcome back anytime Julie Property Owner

"A wonderful rambling property with sufficient room to accommodate our party of 14 (aged 2 to 86)."
The kitchen was very well equipped and allowed our party to congregate and chat whilst meals were being prepared. There was a selection of sitting rooms providing quiet space when required and lots of nooks and crannies for the children to play hide and seek. The house was warm (lovely log fires) and beautifully decorated for Christmas. Thanks Julie. We paid extra for the snooker room, which proved great fun for all ages. Some wonderful local walks, though very muddy at this time of the year. A short drive to Cromer (fish and chips) and Mundesley (lovely walk along the beach). Wells-next-the-sea is well worth a visit (though about an hour's drive). Outstanding beaches and lovely coffee shop. Would highly recommend this property. Julie, the house manager, was also extremely helpful.
I’m glad to hear you had a lovely break. Thank you for visiting The Lodge Property Owner

"Lovely property just the job for a large family reunion ."

"A great place for families to relax and for children to enjoy the space both indoors and out."
Lovely but uncrowded beach nearby at Overstrand, and other places to visit within half an hour’s drive. Good selection of toys and games for the children. Large, well-equipped kitchen.
Thank you for staying with us Julie Property Owner

"We had a wonderful stay at Southrepps Lodge."
The lodge is secluded and on a large property with big grassy garden and spacious rooms. Julie met us to give us a tour of the house and she was welcoming and helpful. The kitchen has everything you need for a large party. The snooker table and games scattered throughout the house were a highlight. Small items that would have improved our stay would be access to a hair dryer, spare loo paper, soap/shampoo, and extra dish washing tablets.
Thank you for your comments and feedback. As the property is self catering, we provide starter packs of the items you have listed - excluding shampoo - and any further toiletries required are to be bought by guests themselves. A hairdryer was also provided during your stay as requested by yourselves. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"Great location."
Beautiful place. Easy access to the coast and lots of great walks.

"Southrepps was perfect for our family holiday."
It is a huge house with plenty of space for everyone. All the family were able to eat together in the dining room or sit together in one of the 4 sitting rooms but equally there is space for peace and quiet too. The lodge is beautifully situated at the end of a long driveway, so safe for young children to run around. There was everything you needed in the house and Julie was excellent to deal with. Would stay here again.
-
"From the moment you see the house from the driveway you can’t help but be impressed."
We arrived to a very warm welcome from Julie. Who explained that we couldn’t go in for an hour due to unforeseen circumstances. But we sat in the courtyard in the sunshine with a welcome cup of tea. Nothing was too much trouble. We were then shown around the very impressive house and had everything explained to us. It is set in a fantastic location with an abundance of space to unwind and recharge, close enough to local beaches. It is very well equipped. With ample room to spend time on your own if you wish. The children loved running around the garden.
-
"The house was wonderful, we booked it for a family gathering for my fathers 90th birthday and from the moment we entered it exceeded expectations."
We were always warm and cosy yet had a huge amount of space where, if you wanted, could get away from the crowds. The house was really well equipped and the beds very comfortable. Julie was very helpful and I always felt that should the need have arisen she would have been there. But as all was just right we needed no help. Thank you for helping to make our weekend stay so special. We would love to come back in summertime to really appreciate the courtyard.

"We found the bedrooms and bathrooms very clean and the house was beautiful and spacious."
We did however run out of oil for heating and it was sorted by Julie very quickly. The only negative was that the kitchen had poor cleanliness ie..coffee filter had filthy mouldy coffee in the machine which had to be cleaned and bleached before use. The dishwasher both had food leftovers in the machine filters and the bottom of the washer and the cooker smoked as had bad oil stains from a roast that smoked out the kitchen on turning on the eletric oven twice. I did have photos taken in case u needed them of the dishwashers. The grounds and the actual house was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was well equipped for open fires each night and warm. To improve the kitchen facilities large tins or baking dishes for shepherds pie/lasagne and sharp small knives for veg ...would up the quality of the facilities. We would return so it was not bad by any means and we brought large dishes and hot pot as we asked beforehand and have found this in most large houses. Such a big family to feed! The only misleading facilities which did not state in the advertising was the payment for the snooker room and the spa hot tub which is not included and has to be self organised and paid for if want to bring in.

"Fantastic 5 days over christmas."
Julie pulled out all the stops to take delivery of our online shop the day before we arrived as we’d missed a slot for our arrival day. Beautiful house in great location for countryside and beaches close by to drive - or run -to. Thank you for making this a great family Christmas

"We spent a lovely weekend celebrating my husbands 60th birthday in this wonderful large well equipped house."
We had one blip, the Tesco delivery man couldn't find the property in the dark, he returned all our planned weekend food and drink back to the depot leaving us scratching around trying to find something to eat for tea.

"We stayed here for my Dad’s 70th Birthday there was 15 of us ."
The place is fantastic more than what we expected, lovely and clean throughout and very well looked after . Julie was brilliant and nothing was too much trouble for her . We hired a hot tub which I spoke to Julie about the company who deals with this . It had arrived in the morning and was all set up for when we got there which was fab . Would definitely recommend this place to anyone and will be returning for other family gatherings.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend with our children and grandchildren in this lovely part of Norfolk."
The house was beautifully appointed and very well equipped. The night sky, free of light pollution, brought everyone out to gaze up at the stars. The house martins also proved popular, as they congregated on the aerial above the courtyard, where we were enjoying a morning coffee. Tea, milk and biscuits were provided, which was a lovely touch.

"We had an amazing holiday in this house - the house is huge, but still homely and welcoming."
It has everything you are ever likely to need and has been set up very well to accommodate large families or groups. We loved being in the countryside enjoying the wildlife and walks, spotting the woodpeckers and partridge on the drive and star gazing at night. The. beaches of Overstrand or Mundesley are a ten minute drive, we loved these beaches as they are quieter and very clean. Our dogs were particularly happy as they had their own room and access to the enclosed courtyard. Julie was on hand to help out if needed and responded very quickly when we rang - she was also friendly and welcoming. We would definitely reccommend this house and hope to return soon.

"An outstanding property."
Very comfortable and fully equipped for our party of 13, with lots of space for us all. Lots of wildlife around, and a lovely courtyard to sit out and enjoy the evening sun. A very pleasant and helpful property manager, we would love to return!
