Guest Reviews

• Kerstin (8/5): - Great garden with lots of toys for the kids, great lazy spa, cozy bedrooms, clean, quiet and relaxing stay in the middle of nature. Shame we couldn't open the windows in the evening as the bugs came in otherwise. A fly screen would have been amazing. Kitchen a bit outdated but still had everything to cook a meal.
• Cody (10/5): Brilliant stay and would stay again! - Remote location, peaceful
• Rima (8/5): Nice and cosy property - The property was very nice , clean , cosy , stylish . One bedroom has a bath , another has walking in shower. That was very good. Heating is available in each room. Coffee, tea, salt ,milk , sugar was supplied ! Area is quite , nothing disturbed night rest. Was difficult to find location as gates in to it a bit hidden. But after explanation on phone with owner was ok. Jacuzzi is in front entrance . Wasn't warm enough first evening of stay : +27 degrees of Celsius . How to go on higher temperature was not clearly explained. Next evening temperature of water went up till +32 degrees. I would recommend to leave clear guide , instruction how to operate jacuzzi .
• Al bandakji (1/5): - The decor upstairs was nice The fact that the pics are misleading, we didnt end up staying due to the fact that the hot tub area was not privet , no easy accesess to the garden which turned out to be a communal area Did not feel comfortable staying
• Keiron (7/5): -
• Keith (10/5): Peaceful, cosy, fun - Cosy, very warm on arrival, very polite and helpful host. We were surprised at how good the hot tub was. Water pressure in the shower wasn’t great and the closest pub is quite a long walk away. Don’t let this deter you, we will likely be coming back.
• WARREN (3/5): - Scruffy and dirty area as you drive up to the place. It felt like driving into a works yard. At 6 p.m., we got a knock from the permanent resident downstairs, saying we were making too much noise for her and her son. The hot tub worked, but we felt it was positioned outside the front where people and cars went by, so we didn't feel secluded or safe. Overall, the apartment was clean and well presented, and the area and its surroundings were very poor.
• Justinas (10/5): -
• Paulina (10/5): -
• Trevor (10/5): -
• Keeley (6/5): A generous 5 out of ten - Good choice of tv channels and WiFi. Nice location, some additional activities available, not far from attractions. Not clean enough, not well sign posted, door code different to what was given, many flies in the property upon arrival, hot tub not used enough as constant error message and didn’t warm up which was our main issue, uncomfortable and low bed, noisy neighbours throughout our stay, the owner was drilling for ages Saturday afternoon, I could honestly go on but I’ll stop there.
• Vasantha (10/5): Excellent cosy setup. Great hot tub. - Location was great.
• BOGDAN (10/5): Lovely place. Definitely one of the best place in Norfolk. -
• Rebecca (10/5): Perfect five star weekend stay - The property was well equipped and had everything you needed. The property was very clean and bed was very comfortable. The hot tub was great was a perfect weekend of relaxation and not to far of a drive for a lovely walk round Holkham park (leaflet in the property very helpful) would definitely recommend this property to people and will definitely be returning soon. Host Nicki messaged to make sure everything was ok and if needed anything and made sure that everything was ready for our stay. Was so peaceful and surrounded by fields just beautiful Everything was great
• Emma (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marjorie (9/5): A lovely spot very peaceful. Would book again but would ask for it to be cleaned. - The apartment was lovely and perfect for our stay. The only downside was I had to spend an hour cleaning on arrival. Very dusty and toilets and shower not clean. Generally a bit neglected. Decorative lantern and lights batteries not working. Outside all a bit dilapidated and unkempt.Needs some TLC.
• John (8/5): well equipped flat in a charming village -
• James (3/5): facilities and maintenance inadequate - dirt and lack of facilities: No clothes hooks anywhere apart from in the downstairs entrace hall (which was festooned with cobwebs); the glasses has lipstick on them; the soap container in one bedroom was empty; the Velcro curtains were short and should be roller And the noise from below was very intrusive. We left after one night
• Rosemary (3/5): I had bed bugs.. we came home early as the WiFi was not working - The location was great. The bathroom and shower weren't clean , the property WiFi Was none existent, Minimal kitchen facilities .
• Emma (8/5): Nice apartment - The property was well equipped. 5 of us stayed the evening and there was plenty of space for us all. Bed was comfy, nice hot shower. Unfortunately the guests before us had made a mess of the hot tub so this facility wasn’t ready for us to use. No fault of the property host who was most apologetic. But this facility was the reason for booking this apartment. WiFi wasn’t that great, sofa bed not very comfortable to sit on and mattress stained. Stick on blackout blinds for the velux window were useless, kept falling off during the night.
• Butcher (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alan (7/5): Good -
• Daniel (1/5): BED BUGS and WIFI not working - BED BUGS!!!! I stayed for two nights and got bitten both nights by bed bugs. See attached pictures. Also the wifi router did not work on any of the networks along with no TV signal.
• James (10/5): Exceptional - Nice and spacious and clean. Very quiet location. Hot tub was amazing in the snow. The wifi wasn't amazing but it did work enough to stream Netflix.
• Emma (10/5): Exceptional -
• Heather (10/5): Great stay, everything I needed whilst visiting family - Quiet location, all the facilities were in working order, would stay again.
• Digby (8/5): Very good -
• Claire (7/5): Would stay again! - The beds were very comfortable and inviting, and the complimentary snacks were a lovely touch!! Location was also lovely. Staff were also lovely and communciation/instructions were good. Lovely fresh towels and facilities were good. We would definitely stay again. Sadly the TV ariel was not working so we couldn't watch TV (needs a new cable) and we also couldn't connect to the Internet. Shower also wasn't very powerful. Quilt to sofa bed was a single quilt and didn't fit the sheets given. But these are minor things, and overall the stay was lovely and comfortable.
• Kerrie (10/5): Thank you for a pleasant stay and all the lovely little touches like the sweets for the children and the biscuits - Location, nice and quiet, clean and spacious
• Felix (8/5): Very good - It's ok.... Mid night no power.... I don't know what happened... 6clk power back in... one room heater not working..otherwise all good....
• Robert (10/5): Excellent stay, we loved the apartment and was only a short drive to the polar Express! - Loved the remote location but within easy access of towns etc. table tennis and football table my boys loved. Spacious rooms and cosy apartment.
• Peter (8/5): Very good - The apartment was very clean and tidy, with everything we needed for a comfortable overnight stay. We really enjoyed the added bonus of the table tennis table. My only criticism was that the shower didn't seem to get very warm and the flow of water from it was quite weak.
• Marian (9/5): Good value for money - Easy to find, comfortable. No lights in the car park at night
• John (8/5): Great time - Very clean and tidy, not to easy to find in the dark. Would try and book direct next time and get a better price People beneath us where a little noisy in the morning, and no blinds on the windows so very light in the morning
• Luke (7/5): Good -
• Zuzana (10/5): We had great stay in this lovely apartment. We were warmly welcomed on our arrival and had quick guidance too. We defini - Beautiful apartment in lovely location. Very clean and with comfortable cosy beds.
• Steve (9/5): Superb -
• Diana (9/5): Superb - The beds were so comfortable, best night sleep in ages. The only downfall was not having pull down blinds on the skylight windows so woke really early as soon as started getting light.
• Thomas (8/5): Nice customer service - Nice quiet overnight stay….enjoyed Creaky toilet doors
• Laura (8/5): Very good -
• Kom (10/5): Exceptional -
• Russell (6/5): Pleasant - The location. Secure private parking. No Internet, 1/4 roll of toilet paper for the whole house. The windows were covered in algea/moss and couldn't see out. There is only one shower between the two bathrooms.
• Anthony (5/5): Adequate - Location was good but poorly signposted. Not clean. Poorly stocked with no hand soap or milk. No blinds in any room, so all were awake early.
• Thanh (9/5): Superb -
• Alejandro (9/5): Perfect place for a peaceful break - The location was stunning, the views from the window, whether evening, night or morning were absolutely amazing. The apartment was very clean and tidy, and well equipped. And the beds were quite comfy Nothing really, everything was ok.
• Lennard (8/5): My four children and I really liked our one night stay and wished we could stay longer. - The host was pleasant and welcoming and was very accommodating in the fact that I was arriving before the check in time and kindly welcomed me to drop my luggage off whilst we went off for lunch. she even came to find me as I struggled to find the apartment, which I greatly appreciated. The apartment turned out to be more spacious then we thought which was great as I was preparing for a cramped one night. I did not manage to get onto the internet but think this was more of a bonus. the kitchen was well equipped, just would recommend replacing the frying pan as it has lost its non-stick. No real complaints
• Nicola (8/5): Lovely, quiet and safe apartment. - Really cute little apartment. Very quiet area and safe for the children to play outside. Owners were friendly and helpful. Bathrooms really clean, beds comfortable and lovely new carpet. Would stay again. I am reluctant to write any negatives, because I knew I had booked a loft apartment with velux windows. However, the black out blinds didn't stick well to the windows and it was very hot in the apartment. I would recommend bring eye masks and fans. Internet worked very minimally which affected the TV coverage. More frustrating for the children than the adults.
• Jen (9/5): Superb - Very friendly hosts. Clean and modern accommodation
• Molly (10/5): A relaxing family getaway - A home from home set in beautiful countryside. The owner was very welcoming and friendly and went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed. Property had everything needed to make travelling with kids easy and comfortable. Rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated and clean. Kitchen contained all the essentials and more. Would recommend to others.
• Christina (6/5): It served a purpose, was passable but would not recommend it. For all the above reasons. - It was well equipped in the kitchen, the furnishings were OK. No blinds at the windows. Its on a first floor, which I don't remember seeing in details. We had a child with us, so they should have had a stair gate at the top of the stairs for safety. It felt quite unkempt, the hanging basket was there, but with dead flowers. No one came to greet us. Some of the chine was chipped so should not be left in cupboards. The beds were very soft and did not have mattress protectors on for hygiene. The bathroom bin had not been emptied and had sanity used products in it. Not pleasant.
• Susan (8/5): Very good -
• Matthew (4/5): Great location, and would get an excellent rating, it just needs the few bits pointed out sorting. - A little hard to find, but understandable for a remote location. Blissfully quiet and peaceful. Great space for a group of friends to use before setting off for walking or cycling around the countryside. Signpost being clearer off main road. Tv didn't work at all. Wifi didn't work. Could log on to router, but no Internet connection available. Velux windows were lovely, but no blinds, so as soon as it became light, you were woken up. Electric fire didn't work (wall mounted fuse broken and needs replacing).
• Michelle (5/5): Was ok apart from the noise during the night - Nice and modern Very noisy from people underneath us
• Christopher (7/5): Good - Nice stylish apartment throughout and quiet location. I think there could've been more information provided: wifi code, where the blinds for the windows were kept, a house sign for the apartment. It would be worth putting some WD40 on the door hinges.
• Mani (10/5): Yesterday I stayed at this place and had a wonderful experience. The hospitality provided was exceptional, and the indiv -
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Frost (9/5): Superb - No bedroom curtains/blinds, but it was lovely to lay in bed in the dark and look at the stars
• Adam (8/5): Very good -
• Graham (7/5): Its was a pleasant stay overnight - Comfy and clean Dining chairs were almost dangerous and difficult to use TV table was broken and nearly collapsed No soap or hairwash in bathrooms
