  We had a great time here, the weather was really good; which helps.

  First the good bits, Cobblers's Cottage is in a great location handy for the beach & the Ship Inn which is a great pub for food & take away fish & chips. The Sykes details said hand held shower but there is an electric power shower, the details also didn't mention a dish washer but there is a good compact one fitted. Washing & dish washer tablets provided. The bad bits, 1. The pipework to the toilet is covered in black mould. not very nice. I have photo. 2. The toilet bowl is black with grime and needs a serious cleaning. I have photo. 3. The toilet seat is a non self closing cheap flimsy plastic affair, could do with a decent sturdy soft close one 4. There are 4 beds but only 3 outside chairs 5. The outside table & chairs could do with a clean & a coat of preservative 6. The double bed is very soft, could do with a firmer mattress. We woke up with back ache. 7. The double socket near the blue cupboard does not work. It is hidden but is a good place to have one 8. Nice washing machine fitted but no where to dry it if you used it. In my view the Sykes cottage inspection process shows up as being weak as many of these issues would have picked up with a good professional inspection. The owner should also check the listing for accuracy as it is better than described. The issues aren't major but could be cheaply addressed to make a good cottage a great one. Its the sloppy attention to detail which annoys. These cottages are not cheap and the owners should maintain them properly. Perhaps they should stay there once a year to find out for themselves. Despite this annoyances we would come again!

  What a charming location the holiday cottage/annex is, set within a gated court yard and parking right outside your door. A beautiful modern well appointed kitchen and a lovely welcome pack wine, Amaretto biscuits, coffee and milk, it was lovely to sit and have breakfast and evening meal if staying in. The living accommodation was up stairs with the bedroom just off it, Freeview TV and good WiFi, the bed was a game of two half’s, I loved the extra thick topper great to sink into but my other half would have preferred a harder bed, but wouldn’t stop him going back. The swimming pool albeit not heated was a welcome bonus as it was 31 degrees! and once in the water it was lovely, the pool was also nice to sit around reading or having a beer or two. Pool towels also left out by the thoughtful owners. A beautiful walled garden was a great area to sit and relax. The small village is very quiet and secluded but a visit to Norwich, The Broads and small villages including Holt all within half an hours drive with the coast 3 mile away or a 5 min drive. All in all loved it and the owners Carol and Steve very welcoming and on hand if anything needed and useful information on days out. Would definitely recommend and return another time maybe with the family to the adjacent cottage.

  Initially liked the cottage.

  Great location for beach and small village amenities (Ship inn very Good, but Chinese takeaway bland). Good ice cream shop next to arcade. Close by to Cromer, Sheringham, Holt and lots of National Trust sites. All the good parts were overshadowed by our first day. Managed to get suitcase upstairs, very narrow and winding as stated in the information, certainly not recommended for elderly or very young children, and was met by an unpleasent smell in the bedroom. Contacted the cleaners early next morning and asked them to investigate and get back to me. No response by lunch so before contacting again had a further look around and discoverd dog Poo under the bed. Clearly the cleaning company had not even looked under, let alone cleaned under the bed (7 hours cleaning time???). Contacted cleaning company again and explained. Said they would try and send someone out... Contacted Sykes and they were brilliant, they contacted owner and cleaning company. The issue was resolved in the afternoon and some recompense negotiated on our behalf with owner. Walked round very carefully in anticipation of wet patches. Looking to book somewhere for summer, but will definitely stipulate a cottage where no dogs allowed.

  “This is our third visit to Paddock Bungalow in Mundesley on the North Norfolk coast and on each occasion we have enjoyed a lovely holiday. The bungalow is in a tranquil location adjoining a small paddock occupied by two ponies who seemed perfectly at ease with our close proximity. There are lovely views over the fields towards Gimingham and we enjoyed the sunsets on several evenings. Despite the peaceful setting there is a Tesco Express store only a couple of minutes' walk away and the esplanade and village centre are within easy walking distance as well. The bungalow is comfortable and homely and the owners were kind enough to provide a very acceptable bottle of wine as a welcome gift, together with milk in the fridge so that we could enjoy a nice cup of tea on arrival. All in all we would have no hesitation in recommending Paddock Bungalow as an ideal location for a short break or a longer holiday.”

  The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable.

  The location is excellent - close to the beach, pubs and cafes. We'd particularly recommend the carvery at the Royal Hotel and fish and chips from The Catch. From the cottage it is possible to travel easily to a number of attractive locations such as Horsey (seals and windpump), Cromer, Felbrigg, Happisburgh and the Broads . But, and this is a big but, the TV reception is practically non-existent. It should be made clear in the property description that the only way to way to watch live TV is by streaming from your smart phone and mirroring to the TV thereby using your own data. There are no instructions at all for the TV, let alone how to do this if, like me, you are not particularly technically adept. There is certainly no Sky TV as implied in the owner's response (which was still on the website yesterday morning) to some of the reviews.
