  Lovely bungalow on a residential street.

  Wonderfully comfortable beds and bedding, great kitchen and fabulous sofa. Really liked the open plan living and dining area. We had a few interactions with the local duck and her ducklings, she got stuck between the bungalow and the fence so my Dad had to move some old fence panels that were in the gap and were stopping her escaping. Unfortunately a couple of negative comments. I wouldn't usually say anything but as a family we felt it significant. The bathroom really needs some attention, thick dust on the back of the doors & skirting boards and limescale on both sets of taps. The storage for clothes is frustrating, why is there a wardrobe in the single room but no clothes rail inside? The twin room only has under bed drawers. The double room is huge, with fabulous storage but we were 2 households so I didn't want to use that wardrobe in someone else's room. The garden really needs tidying, the grass hadn't been cut for a while and that made it hard to do a pick up after the dog. There were alot of weeds and it just made using the garden less welcoming. For someone with mobility issues, navigating these was just a little awkward. The next door bungalow, which initially we thought was being refurbished, really is a sight for sore eyes and let down the whole relaxed feel you want from a holiday let. When the temperature gets higher I would imagine the unpleasant odour will get worse. It does look like some of the decorating hasn't been completed, for instance there are nails in walls but no pictures. Be aware, if taking a dog, that access to the garden is through the double bedroom. We had a pleasant week but I'm afraid we wouldn't go back.

  We all had the most amazing time, from the min we opened the door & saw how clean & spacious it was then to see the huge bed which looks brand new, was brilliant.

  Absolutely everything you could want it provided. ( I always take fairy lights to light up garden to see where dogs ‘go’ but these weren’t needed as there’s 2 lots of outside lights )We stay in cottages a lot with our dogs & this is one of the best. The weather was wonderful too ( again we always pack for the worst weather but big coats weren’t needed ) The beaches are walkable however a cut through across the road then through the cemetery leads to a decent size Tesco with friendly staff & a bus stop so you can get one to Old Hunstanton which is fab with Le Strange arms hotel / bar that do a brill 2 courses for £15 , have to sit outside with dogs is only downside but again staff were brill & made sure our plates were really hot. You can then walk through to the most stunning beach & it goes on for miles & miles. I saw a few negative comments re the grass not being cut, I’d say , have a look in the little shed & do it if it bothers you that much, (we stay in cottages because it’s like being at home as opposed to a hotel , & things always need doing in a home ) Also we never saw any rats & our 2 dogs would have searched them out ! I wish I could post photos as we were lucky enough to see the northern lights & of course the wonderful red cliffs . A final mention to Lou who was brill, a welcome message to say it was ready early was great & she was available for any help . Literally can’t wait to come to come back ( love Hunstanton if you couldn’t tell ! )

  This property is in need of complete revamp, it's general state is that of complete neglect.

  I read many of the reviews by other guests and we must have stayed in a different place, or our expectations and standards are much higher than that given by this property. The sofas are tired and need replacing, why have winceyette sheets on the bed in summertime?, bathroom plug broken, don't push it down too hard or it will get stuck. Mold in the main bedroom wardrobe, no extractor in the kitchen, no grill pan, tired non stick frypans. Worst of all was the back garden which we could not use, the grass had not been cut for weeks and the overflowing compost bin attracted RATS, yes RATS were seen in the back garden so we band our dog and ourselves from going outside just as well as we would have needed a machete to get the the green mold covered table and chairs. Sykes should delist this property until improvements are made.

  We felt at home the moment we arrived at Honeybees Haven.

  Such as comfortable well equipped bungalow. We had very specific requirements for our stay. Our 16 year old dog is virtually blind with poor mobility and can easily get distressed in a different home. The open plan layout with no stairs was perfect for him and he settled in right away. In addition, our young dog is very reactive, so the secure private garden in a quiet cul-de-sac was perfect for him. As we were unable to eat out (due to our high maintenance fur babies!), the combined kitchen/living area was perfect for preparing meals. Easy walk to town and beach, we will definitely be back!

  We had a great stay here, we only used the master bedroom which was huge - all bedrooms had lovely clean linen on, the bed was very comfortable and so was the sofa, secure garden for the dogs and very well equipped all round.

  My only comment would be that is could do with a more thorough deep clean, the bathroom fell particularly grubby, crumbs on dining room chairs, and smarties/ dog chews under sofa. There was also cigarette ends and dog poo on grass from previous people which we picked up. We would recommend to others and stay here again as overall it was very comfortable and suitable for us. Great communication from Lou telling us the property was ready and we looked after the nesting duck in the garden!
