  Annie and Toby are thoughtful and responsive to any questions.

  The holiday home is nicely decorated and feels like staying with friends. Fully equipped kitchen, very quick to respond when I needed help to work the hob. Everything you need has already been provided. The only extra items we used were pizza trays and pizza cutter for pizza night, and a clothes airer. The Coast hotel was very friendly and welcoming, Saturday evening entertainment was good and busy with local people. My kids enjoyed the arcades and swimming pool facilities. Any information needed is provided in the folder available for guests. We bought a few garden items from a garden sale next to the resort across the road from the decorated post box and telephone box. The weather was very kind to us and we visited several local attractions including, Great Yarmouth, Gorleston on Sea and Lowestoft, we had fun at Pleasurewood Hills themepark and the splash park at Gorleston where you can see some Banksy artwork, nice food at The Cliff hotel. We visited Ness Point and had nice food at the Lighthouse Diner. We also had a relaxing boat trip on the Broads and a nice meal at The Wherry hotel. Everyone we met were friendly and helpful. When there was an issue with the fence it was repaired within hours. My husband and son enjoyed playing football at the park where they joined in training with some locals. There is also a car boot sale on the field on a Tuesday. We visited East Coast Cinemas when the weather dulled. The broadband works well, although we were unable to work the cd player or bedroom tvs (remote batteries) although this did not affect our stay at all. The beds and sofas are comfortable. Towels, tea towels and oven gloves are all available and the ninja airfryer was fab. We enjoyed a lovely 2 weeks holiday. Tesco delivered groceries on the day we arrived so only needed to shop for a few bits.

  We had a lovely stay at the house.

  I feel one point of the description of the house is completely misleading though - “freshen up in the sleek shower room before heading downstairs to the well equipped kitchen”. The shower room (which I would say is clean and functional but not exactly sleek) is downstairs, next to the kitchen. I feel this should be clear on the description, not implied that it is somewhere it clearly isn’t!! Not everyone would choose somewhere with the toilet on a different floor to the bedrooms, and maybe this is why the description has been done as it is. But it is wrong to do so. We couldn’t find a tin opener but other than that it was great. Yes I would stay again. The bed was comfy, the view from the main bedroom afforded a pleasant sea view between other properties on the site. The balcony is small but just wide enough to sit out on for the morning sunshine. Access to the “beach” is off the site, a five minute walk (once you have gained access to the code to the shortcut gate) , down a lot of steep steps. This leads to a path which goes in both directions. From there you have to walk a fair way before you can access the beach without climbing through the railings onto the rocks. We drove to Lowestoft for better beach access for my elderly dog.

  Firstly, apologies for delay in sending the feedback.

  We decided to book a week away to celebrate my husband's 40th and to have a mini break before the arrival of our second child. And I'm so pleased we did! My son loved the accommodation (he's 3 and very difficult to please!) saying it was better than his own house! And we agree, the property felt like a second home as soon as we walked in. It was clean, tidy, spacious and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The welcome basket was an added bonus and went down a treat. Thank you. The weather wasn't great, even though it was July. But that didn't dampen our enjoyment. We enjoyed using the swimming pool and visiting the local beaches and other places of interest. Overall, we could not fault it. It was a nice break in a cosy property. And seeing my son so happy before returning to the usual chaos at home, was wonderful. He also slept really well, which was the icing on the cake. A fantastic few days and we would definitely, 100%, return in the future.

  We had the impression from the photo that this was a bungalow attached to a house but actually it's attached to other holiday homes on a small holiday park.

  It's a well-kept site and there was plenty of parking in February. Although we couldn't get the beach gate open with the key, I found the other set of stairs a little way down the lane and there is a ramp further on. The beach is naturally wild and beautiful and Kessingland has good amenities - Africa Alive, fish and chip shop, Coop supermarket and pub selling food. Sykes impressed me with all the info / communications prior to the stay and it was very easy to get in and set up. The bungalow did smell of damp on arrival and was chilly but it was very early in the season. We soon warmed everything up with the electric radiators. As this is a family holiday home, it was incredibly well equipped and looked more like a home than a bland holiday let. It had everything you could possibly need! The showers were not that hot but usable. Apart from that, we had an excellent stay and felt the owners had really taken great care to make their guests feel at home.

  Very lovely bungalow with excellent views out to sea.

  Good facilities and small but useable kitchen. Having a bathroom and shower room was helpful - just have to watch the door seal and bath screen seal as if not in place can cause both showers to leak. The weather in March was a little chilly and using panel radiators and towel rails kept a steady temp around 16 to 18 C and the electric fire topped up if a little chilly. The conservatory was perfect for sitting in the sun for lunch. If you like fresh fish the world of fish near Morrisons a 7 min drive away is excellent. The more local shops about 5 mins walk away are good with bakery, chip shop and co-op. Great communication with the owner and easy to access. Hope to return again. Also the local church has recently been completly re-thatched and can see it easily if you take a walk around the area.
