  We’ve hired many a self catering place over the years but you really couldn’t wish for a better bolt hole to spend a week….

  or two! An amazing space for a group of 6-8 people, spacious enclosed garden, perfect if you own a dog and you also want a bit of privacy. Hot tub, garden chairs, loungers, large table to sit and eat at. Inside is a wonderful little rabbit warren downstairs. The bunk beds with separate shower room and loo plus the king bedroom with en-suite is on the ground floor. Upstairs two other bedrooms and a shared bathroom. Downstairs the kitchen is amazingly well stocked with pans, dishes, crock ware cups and glasses. We managed to cook up a roast dinner and had plenty of serving dishes etc to achieve this without any hassle. Biggest dining table you could ask for when self catering for the larger group. TV lounge spacious and very comfortable, two other rooms including a conservatory if you want to peel off from your group for a bit of quiet time. Even a utility room with washer & dryer, airier or pegs and basket if the weather is good to hang your swimming costumes outside on the line provided. Winterton on sea is just delightful, sea, sand dunes and cafés for a cuppa and something to eat after a long beach walk. If you want something less challenging underfoot (the sand dunes can be a bit hard on the ole calf muscles! :0) Sea Palling beach is a short drive with again a lovely sandy beach and café. Norwich, beautiful architecture and shopping plus is a short train ride from Gt Yarmouth if you don’t fancy driving. Evening eating, take aways available nearby and the Fisherman’s Return is a must, generous portions, lots of inside and outside seating with a friendly atmosphere. Finally, Nick the owner gives you all the information you require at the start of your holiday with contact numbers if you have any questions or problems (which we didn’t) lovely guy who deserves a five star review for offering a wonderful place to spend your holidays - thank you Nick

  When we arrived at the cottage it was disappointing to see in one of the double bedrooms the toilet and shower were not working and a sign on the door.

  We had received no communication about this prior to arriving or any compensation for not being able to use it. Secondly, we booked a long weekend stay from Friday night to Monday, and we found another note on the Hot tub informing us we could not use it until Saturday P.M. I feel we lost a night by not being able to use it. Thirdly, we found cobwebs in the rooms, on the walls and lights hanging from the ceiling. We could not access the property till 4pm on the Friday due to cleaning but I felt the cottage was not sufficiently cleaned! My last point is check out time was 9 am Monday morning, I rang the owner a week beforehand to request a later check out, he asked me to request again on the Sunday before we leave on the Monday, which I did message him only to receive a message back saying "If I had known on Friday I could have changed it sorry" which did not make sense as I had spoken to him! I explained the situation again only to receive a message at 6:39 a.m. (the next day Monday) basically saying if we do not vacate the property I will be charged for late check out - I was upset, woken early by the message and confirmed we would leave by 9. At 7:10 a.m  I received another message informing us that we could stay till 1030 a.m as the plumber would be arriving. This is not how i wanted to end my weekend away. Please understand my family and I enjoyed the cottage, it is spacious, football table, pool table and hot tub but there is a lack of customer service. I have stayed at previous cottages on a family break and the owners have been attentive, checking in with us to ensure everything is ok and meeting our needs. I feel after this occasion I would not stay here again.

  This was our 1st visit to Sunnymeade.

  When we arrived, there was a large secure fenced carpark with gates. To be honest it is an impressive house to be welcomed by. We immediately felt at home. The host gave us access an hour early which was good news as we had arrived before the check in time of 4pm. We were surprised to see that Sunnymeade had been updated before our arrival, the host had just renovated both bathrooms downstairs to en suites with showers on the ground floor. Both en suites are big, what a pleasant surprise, we had not expected that. We were also impressed to see Sunnymeade has had a new well proposition 2nd kitchen fitted next to the existing kitchen with an oven and hob, more than enough space needed to prepare food for our group. We were there with a “handful” of young guests and the games room was a welcome addition, football table, large TV and bean bags. Sunnymeade has great Wifi across the inside and outside of the property. Even when we relaxed in the Hot tub which can easily accommodate seven people, the wifi was available. Dining room with the pool table was convenient place, two large dining table and chairs for everyone to sit around the table. The living room with the large smart TV was nice place to hangout and relax. Sunnymeade is only few minutes safe walk from the Village shop, Pub and the Fish and Chip shop which is very good. Would we come back? Oh Yes, this place has been the best place for the money we paid and would definitely return.

  Very nice property with amazing Victorian features with a modern extension.

  Front parking area is more than ample and there is a ground level entrance round the side if the front steps are a bit much. The property itself is huge! Very easy to get lost and disorientated but you soon get the layout. The games room down the end of the property is perfect for keeping the little ones and young ones entertained, they connected their switch to the supplied TV and we didn’t see them after that. All the rooms are spacious enough but not all of them have a en-suit showers but there is a shower in the downstairs hallway and the lower back bedroom has a bath. We did have a couple of issues out of the owners control and he was very easy to get hold of and offered any help he could! Issues were internet blackout and loss of electricity to the village. Both issues didn’t last long luckily. The hot tub is an absolute dream! Can comfortably fit four people easily or tho is is designed for 7 but think that’s a bit of a squeeze as you start to run out of spaces for legs but there are 7 seats. Overall we all (13 people) really enjoyed our stay there and would happily return.

  We had a wonderful and supremely relaxing week away at Fallowfield.

  It is an absolutely superb, spacious property and Nick, the owner, was really helpful and responsive. The facilities were perfect in every way and if you have dogs or kids the enclosed garden was brilliant as they could run around to their heart's content and you could sit in the hot tub and watch them too if you liked, make use of the patio furniture or sit in the conservatory. It was minutes to the beach (via some steps) and the beach cafe wasn't far along, the village shop and tea room was lovely and the Fisherman's Return was great too. The owners also put an information booklet in the property to suggest other places to visit and I felt that nothing was too much trouble. It would be great for a large or extended family and there was plenty of parking with two sets of well built gates so you could shuffle cars around if you needed to. It is all very well considered at Fallowfield. We booked the property because our motorhome had a fault but I'm so glad we got to stay at Fallowfield. It was absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much Nick !
