  109 Pentney Lakes caravan was fab!

  Obviously it's small, but it was overall more spacious than we thought, and there's loads of outside decking which makes it even bigger, if the weather obliges. We sat outside to eat a couple of times, there's plenty of space. We also managed to park 3 cars, so that wasn't an issue either. The kitchen is well equipped - its just like a small version of being at home, with everything you need, even a coffee machine. Welcome pack was also very generous (thank you!), and the whole place was spotlessly clean. And nicely decorated too. Big fridge/freezer, plenty of room for the wine and snacks! The area is small for more than one adult to be preparing food, but that's fine. I guess if you have 6 people you may struggle to all sit at the kitchen table, but again, wasn't a problem for us. We used both bedrooms and the sofa bed too. The sofa bed was comfortable, and the lounge was great for chilling, with the patio doors open it was lovely. The bathroom was good too - with a really nice shower. We go to Pentney so we can ski at Premier Water Ski with Greg - and we loved staying in the caravan this time as it felt like a bit of luxury, a nice place to retreat to when we were tired and needed a cuppa, but still close to the lake so we didn't miss anything going on! One bit of advice - if you're sleeping on the sofa bed, make sure you close the blind on the ceiling window in the kitchen - otherwise you'll get woken up by a rogue sunbeam on your face! I could've got up to try and work out how to close the blind - but at 5am I couldn't be bothered! Great caravan, loved it, we will definitely try and stay here again, if we can get it for a short break again.

  Accommodation was better than anticipated and very clean.

  Excellent bed with good linen. Located overlooking the lake. Large decking area at the side and also on the front. Good shower and bedroom larger than had imagined with large wardrobe and skylights allowing air flow. Good fridge and kitchen accessories were good quality. The site is very natural and unspoilt and we slept really well as it was so quiet over night. Comfortable furnishings. Ideal for 2. Fishing was very good. Only downside is the road that runs through the site and directly in front of the vans. It is dust and not concrete. As such vehicles exceeding the speed limit - and most did, resulted in large plumes of dust falling across the front decking and sometimes into the van, making it impossible to sit on the front and the spread of the dust did leave us feeling grubby and our clothes dirty. No washing machine which would help if staying longer. It was very hot when we stayed which probably exacerbated the issue but it was bad and you could only use the seating at the rear of the side decking if you wanted to sit out and dine or have a drink. The only other problem was we tried to put our rubbish into the green bin the owner had indicated, but were told when we did so, the bin was only for residents and not visitors. As such we had to leave the rubbish for the owner to dispose of. A bin nearer for the holiday bins would be a simple solution.

  The mobile home was nice but was dirty on arrival.

  Cobwebs in the kitchen with flies on it. In the main bedroom there still is a dead fly sitting on the blind of the left hand ceiling window. There were also dead flies on the floor near the tv. The place needs to be cleaned properly after someone leaves. My wife and I cleaned the cobwebs and hoovered the place properly before leaving as it’s not comforting for anyone to come see this. Plus the place needs a washing machine, after staying a week I had to wash all he kids clothing by hand and couldn’t leave outside as the dirt and dust from car driving by made the clothes dirty again, clothes washed by hand takes forever to dry when inside the mobile home. The dishwasher is of no value if cleaning tablets aren’t provided. No mop/bucket was provided so when any of the children dropped anything I had to use wipes to clean the floor. The children’s bedroom was far to tiny with two tiny single beds. The lights in the hallway wasn’t working so had to use lamp from main room for children. The light switch in the main bedroom has been connected incorrectly, the light switches on when pressing up. The fire alarm didn’t work when tested, so major concern. There’s also a whole near the top of the ceiling above sofa which I had to put tissue in as flies kept coming in.

  What a location! Walking out the front door and seeing the sea was a real treat. The house is in a quiet road, just a few minutes from the beach. Also, it's only a short walk to the town centre. The house has comfortable beds - a must! It had pretty much everything you could possibly need for a holiday base. The table folds out and easily seats 4. The house looks small in the photos on the listing, but my partner and I (and our two gangly teenagers) had plenty of space, and enjoyed hanging out together in the lounge in the evenings. We spent a lot of time playing crazy golf, foot golf, pitch and putt, the putting green and the bowling green. We also went to the park, again a short walk away. The beach is wonderful for walking and fossil hunting. The sunsets are stunning. The RSPB reserve at Titchwell Marsh is worth a visit, as is the Sealife Centre. We recommend the Northgate Indian restaurant. If you want banter and a Belgian bun bigger than your head, go to Mr Bun the Baker!

  Christmas Barn was a lovely place to stay for our recent break in Norfolk. We are a multi-generational family and it was fabulous that we all had our own en-suite bathroom. The bedrooms were very comfortable and nicely furnished. The TVs supplied in two of the bedrooms were outdated or not working and the radio in the master bedroom does not work properly.Downstairs was all open plan with a lovely kitchen which was very well-equipped. We enjoyed cooking here! The sitting room area was large with a comfy sofa and big screen television with Sky. A well-equipped utility room and downstairs toilet completed downstairs. The garden was lovely and the Barn is placed in Snettisham Park so you could walk round and see the deer. We could also walk down to the village where there was a Co-op and we had a meal in the Rose and Crown which was lovely. We also went to Snettisham beach, Sandringham, Burnham Market, Blakeney and Wells-next-the-sea….We had a lovely holiday!
