Guests appreciate the cottage's prime location near Yarmouth harbour, with easy access to shops, bus services, and walking paths. The property offers a quiet setting, a spacious family home with a sunny conservatory, and a welcoming host. Some concerns were raised about cleanliness and maintenance, but the overall experience was enjoyed, especially for those seeking a car-free holiday.
Reviews indicate a need for a deeper clean, with specific mentions of windows and general grubbiness. However, not all reviews mention cleanliness issues, suggesting experiences may vary.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to Yarmouth harbour, shops, and bus services, as well as being ideal for walkers and offering a quiet environment.
The property is described as comfortable and well-equipped, with good quality bed linen and towels. However, some guests found the beds uncomfortable, affecting the score.
Facilities are mixed, with a well-equipped kitchen and two showers, but only one shower is usable at a time, and there are maintenance issues like a loose kitchen light and non-opening conservatory windows.
The host's thoughtfulness is noted with a warm welcome and surprises like fresh milk and cakes. However, such gestures are not guaranteed for every stay.

Generally grubby on most things that were touched. It was advertised as two showers only one in use,the shower head hanging down with no bracket to accommodate it,ok to shower down a dog.So four of us with one shower. The garden is on a different level,it looks like a hurricane has hit it and that's no exaggeration.Piles of detritus everywhere,totally unsafe for little ones.The photos for this place were taken a very long time ago.I have taken multiple photos myself if you are interested to see what you are promoting,all very dissapointed and we would have walked away but our grandchildren were upset at the thought.Please look into this,we thought Sykes were better than this.

The house is an ideal base for a car-free holiday. It is well situated a few minutes' walk from the centre of Yarmouth in a cul de sac. So there is little passing traffic. The house is immediately adjacent to the lovely Yar estuary and the rural view from the main bedroom window is delightful. However despite arriving hours late because of train cancellations (about which we kept the owner fully informed) the house was surprisingly still not quite ready for occupation when we arrived with floor mopping still taking place. (We had to put the abandoned mop away ourselves.) The house and garden were poorly maintained. One of the kitchen lights under the wall cupboards was hanging loose with one end resting on the worktop in front of the toaster. Despite being equipped with two showers the owner informed us that only one could be used at a time because the boiler could not cope with both. (We didn't put this to the test and showered one after the other.) We were blessed with fine sunny weather but were frustrated to find that none of the windows in the conservatory would open, making it boiling hot unless we left the door open. I love wild gardens but the neglect of the large garden was depressing, with very long grass clippings strewn over the lawn and a fence collapsing. The garden furniture had seen better days and was rusty. The hob ignition stopped working during our stay. The wheelie bins were full of rubbish (contaminated recycling) when we arrived. We were given no information about what to do with our rubbish or the house keys on our departure. Visitors should be aware that two of the three single beds are narrower (at 2'6") than a standard single (3'), which is a squeeze for an adult. None of the beds was comfortable for this petite visitor. Although initially very accommodating and helpful, the owner was slow to respond to concerns that we raised during our stay and several remained unresolved.

This is a welcoming, comfortable, well equipped and spacious family home in a quiet location with easy parking on the large driveway. Within 5 minutes' walk are Yarmouth harbour, essential shops and regular bus services. We would happily return again as Tim is an amiable and helpful host.
