  • "I noticed someone mentioned in a review in August the towel rail coming off the wall."

    It is still not fixed. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable apartment

    Thanks for your comment Nigel, The towel rail has been fixed and thanks for your review Property Owner

  • "The flat is exactly as described, well equipped, comfortable and perfect for two."

    Lovely location within an easy drive of the whole north west coast. You can even see the sea to the west from the driveway. It doesn't have direct access to a garden but the orchard is a nice place to sit as well as having an area to hang washing but bring your own pegs. The only downside is that you need a car to get anywhere, there are no walks from the door. There was also an extremely yappy dog next door which drove us mad at the weekend, thankfully it appeared to be owned by a partner who didn't appear to live there all the time so peace and quiet resumed during the week. The only other very small issue was a towel rail that needs repairs and a bulb that sometimes flickered in the kitchen.

  • "A very nice apartment."

    Excellent fixtures and fittings with plenty of useful equipment in the kitchen. The location is really good for visiting the Norfolk coast and Sandringham. The TV in the lounge is quite small but outside of Euro24 that’s not a big issue. I’d be happy to use it again if we should return to Norfolk.

    Thanks for your review, much appreciated Property Owner

  • "Warm, comfortable!"

    The flat works well for a holiday. The rooms are of ample size. The bed was comfortable. Everything was clean, including the kitchen. Here the facilities are quite adequate for holiday cooking. The wifi was adequate, dropping out once, from memory. The car park is safe, plenty of space. The shower room and shower are excellent, the small space heater a bonus. We’ve been twice now, and found the accommodation perfectly adequate. A minor comment, there’s no two pin socket for electric toothbrush, bring your own 3 to 2 pin plug converter.

  • "The apartment felt very homely and had all the kitchen equipment needed to prepare your own food and we found the utensils/crockery in very good condition."

    The refrigerator interior was smaller than expected but we adapted to the space available and so no problem for the rest of our stay. The bedroom was surprisingly spacious, bed very comfortable and the living room was also a good size with comfy seating. To sum up, we enjoyed our time in the lovely, clean, comfortable apartment.

  • "The property was accurately described in the text put out by Sykes."

    We found it clean, comfortable, well-appointed, and warm (October). The kitchen was well-equipped. The shower was a walk-in cabinet and reliable. The wi-fi was adequate and did not cut-out. The bed was comfortable, with the linen clean and wholesome. There was ample, safe parking. The comment in the text regarding the stairs outside, and various steps within, the apartment, was accurate. Some persons could find them restricting. The location is quite convenient for the North Norfolk Coast. Docking, 2km away, has a Spar shop for essentials, and a good chip-shop operating on some evenings.

    Thanks for your overview & comments very much appreciated Peter Property Owner
