  This holiday was booked for memories.

  My husband went over the rainbow 2 years ago & being lucky enough to have a motorhome we would holiday in areas near Hunstanton. Most days we would go for afternoon tea at the Bowling green cafe, where I did visit. When I arrived I couldn't get the key box open so I asked a young couple if they could help me, they got me in after numerous phone calls, they were amazing even emptied my car. I had a good sleep as I had driven from Leeds & was over tired. On Sunday I needed a shower but it wouldn't turn on, so I thought for now I will just have a wash.... NO HOT WATER. Thankfully I did eventually find the switch for the shower high up on the wall outside of the bathroom, but still no running hot water & no instructions, & the toilet seat didn't fit properly it slipped from side to side. The bedroom was ok although the bed was quite hard, the kitchen was ok, but no hot water in there either & no cutlery & I noticed that the microwave wasn't fit straight. The room was the one most depressing room I've ever had to use. All the furniture was brown & old fashioned. There's a sideboard that reeks of fustiness & heyoi i found the cutlery in the stinking drawer. I had to take out what I would use boil some water & let them soak to get rid of the smell. The old fashioned lamp next to the tv was annoying as the bulb was protruding above the shade. Niggling complaints, the bottom of the bowl was disgusting & hadn't been cleaned & the waste bin hadn't been cleaned before the liner was put in, a tv in the bedroom would be nice you don't have to watch it if you don't want to ..... I left on the Wednesday as I was so disappointed & the room was so depressing, unfortunately my friend had to cancel coming with me. It's time for the owners of the flat to upgrade & modernise that room. The flat 2 doors up is beautiful & modern done out in cream. Maybe the owner of Surf should have a look at it. It wasn't a cheap holiday.. I feel well & truly let down as this holiday was supposed to be very special&was anything but Yes you can publish it, i don't believe the comments unless the people who commented were old & didn't mind old grotty furniture.

  We had no WiFi all week, in spite of being mentioned in the comments book.

  On arrival, the bulbs in the ceiling lights in the Living Room had all blown and there were no spares in the cupboard. We were informed on arrival that the toilet seat was broken and would be replaced later that day, but didn’t actually happen until a few days later. On arrival there were several weeds in the courtyard which straightaway gives a wrong impression. On entering the cottage, it was clear to see that it was exceptionally tired and in need of refurbishment. The pictures of the cottage interior on the website bear no resemblance to the actual cottage. This has clearly changed since the photos were uploaded to the website and should be updated to reflect present day. It is such a shame, this cottage could be a wonderful place, if only it was repaired and refurbished as required. The cottage is in a wonderful location, which makes it even more of a shame that we will not be booking again. This review gives us no pleasure but feel that it is only correct that future guests are aware of what it is now and not according to the photos in the website, which was the strength on which we booked it. We consider this review to be fair and reasonable.

  A great little cottage.

  The entrance lane is a little 'down market' (not the owners fault), as is the entrance gate, however, the cottage was immaculate and beautifully presented for us. Don't let the first impressions put you off, and we certainly didn't have any cleaning issues as some past visitors, it was spotless. Great to have our own parking space, free parking is like gold dust we found, even in January. Inside, the cottage is fabulous. Loved the decor and beach/love themed wall art, so homely. Warm (easy to boost the heating), cosy, amazingly well equipped - and the softest towels ever. Sainsbury's is literally over the road, as well as a local greengrocer and a pet shop. So handy for everything. As another reviewer has mentioned, the shower is bijou, but glorious hot water on tap. Our little cockerpoo absolutely loved the wide open beaches to run on and the big soft rug to curl up on after a shower and dry off. Everywhere is dog friendly from shops to pubs, even a smart hotel restaurant. Nice welcome gifts on arrival - thank you Andy and Penny (and Robbie) - and we had a fabulous stay. Our first visit to Norfolk, definitely not our last!

  A quaint holiday home, warm and comfortable.

  Quite a few ornaments about, if going with small children may be worth having a run round and putting them out of reach or in drawers to avoid breakages. Mattress a little uncomfortable as used to memory foam but was able to cope with it for a week, bedding was so soft and warm. Daughter used both bunk beds, she said they were both comfy. Shower had good pressure and temp was brill, I love a hot shower, hubby prefers his cooler, could've spent ages in it, does get quite steamed up, we just opened the sky light to avoid condensation build up. The Towels were so nice and thick, quite a luxury. Lounge was comfy, heating easy to use, looking at getting hive for our home now. Kitchen had everything you could need and the little welcome pack was a lovely touch. We went with a golden retriever, he settled really quickly, his first time away from home, everywhere is dog friendly and he absolutely loved his walks near the cliffs. Really close to shops and beach, we even used just eat and the delivery driver easily found the property. Would definitely return and recommend to others :)

  Lovely location, Flat was quite roomy,shower/toilet was very nice, kitchen was fine even though it was odds and sods of cooking items and utensils.

  Plates, side plates, dishes matched, brilliant microwave. Button on the kettle that opens the lid was broken. Double Bedroom a bit cramped, the mattress was awful , spring dug in you which ever way you layer, curtains fitted where they touched and very faded, could get curtains out of charity shop, furniture was nice, air freshener on top of wardrobe was possibly 12 months old dried up to the size of a fifty pence. Single room was quite decent 2 single beds. Sheets towels etc was there, I used my own that I took with me and my used his own towels. Furniture in living room was too big if had been a tv unit would be better instead of large sideboard, also the table was a pain to keep putting the leaf up when you wanted to use it. Needs to be decorated to make it bright and cheerful, there was a foisty smell which was awful. A few cobwebs and windows needed cleaning. Flat ,as I said lovely position
