“House was great!”

Super equipped, only the corkscrew was missing. Beds are great! The construction noise from early in the morning is not so nice, especially since we sleep with the windows open. We were out a lot during the day, so it was bearable. We would come back.

- Silke, September 2024

Hi, thank you for your comments. The corkscrew is now back! Property Owner

“Lovely house only a year old with everything you would need for your stay.”

First problem we had was access as the front door was very difficult to open. Fortunately are first attempts were witnessed by a neighbour opposite who managed to open it for us and suggested we had some practice at opening it. We'll after 3 days it was still difficult, but my daughter had the most success. T V instructions would have been useful. The TV proved too smart for us and we couldn't get live TV only catchup. Also there was no written info on local attractions or bus or train details.

Hello, thank you for your comments. Guides to electrical items and tourist information is the file housed in the bookcase. Property Owner
Carol July 2024

“We had a wonderful family holiday at the Hollies.”

The property was lovely and clean and had everything we needed for a week’s stay. The location is ideal for getting into the city, heading out to the coast, or visiting the broads. There are lots of things to do in norfolk and the weather was beautiful, would highly recommend.

- Carol, July 2024

Dear Carol, we are so pleased that you had a lovely time here. We hope to see you again very soon. Property Owner
Philip June 2024

“The Hollies is a lovely new house, the interior is like a show home.”

Unfortunately, the housing development is ongoing meaning that opposite the front of the property is the builders compound. The rear garden is very nice but again the building works are ongoing. OK if you are out all day. Guests need to do their homework before their visit as there is no helpful tourist information in the property. The park and ride is only 5 minutes drive away which gets you into Norwich.

- Philip, June 2024

Hello, thank you for your feedback. The folder on the bookcase in the hallway contains helpful tourist information. Property Owner

Becky March 2024

“This property was reasonable for a short stay.”

The basic items were provided and the house was clean. The bed sheets are very noisy and both upstairs bathroom shelves are wonky.

- Becky, March 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We all fix the shelving. Property Owner
Anne January 2024

“The property is nice, modern and fully equipped, however there was quite a lot of dust on surfaces, dirty handprints on the banister and when I moved one of the coasters on a bedside table I found a load of sugar underneath it!”

We booked our stay less than 2 weeks before coming and as soon as we received the confirmation and found that the property was nearly 3 miles outside of Norwich, which was not what we wanted, Sykes were very unhelpful and not at all understanding with our request to cancel and receive a full refund. We want it highlighted that the map location for this listing is totally misleading and was the major point we were trying to get across. We fully understand that locations cannot be totally accurate for security reasons and also acknowledge that the description states the property is on the "outskirts" however in all our years of booking holidays we have never been in the situation where the map location which we have always used as a guide has been 3 miles out! We recommend that the description is at least updated to say the location is 3 miles outside of Norwich and the map pinpoint is corrected.

- Anne, January 2024

Hello, we have told our cleaning crew to be more thorough in the future. Thank you for pointing this out. We have also informed Sykes about the post code and map location. Apparently it has something to do with being a relatively new post code. Again, we are sorry and will try and rectify the matter urgently. Property Owner
