    The perfect setting for bringing friends and family together. A warren of a house with so much history.

  • "Everything was lovely & the Manager was very helpful."

    The kitchen was very well supplied for all that was needed for a large group. One of the beds in a room on the 2nd floor was found to be uncomfortable as it was an adult sleeping in it. We think it is usually used for a child so this wouldn't be noted as a problem. There were some flies on the windows upstairs which we know the owner is dealing with. This didn't detract from a good week in a special house.

  • "Had a fantastic family weekend at Southrepps celebrating our golden wedding anniversary."

    What an amazing place with everything you could possibly need. We intended to have a trip to the beach but we felt so relaxed and at home at the property that we spent the whole of the weekend at the house. The kids spent hours playing hide and seek as well as playing football outside. The games room was a bonus and was enjoyed by both the adults and the kids. Julie the site manager was very helpful and helped to make our stay memorable. Thank you for helping us to make memories and would definately recommend this property.

    What lovely feedback. Thank you. I'm so glad you all had such a good weekend Julie Property Owner

  • "Great location and ideal for large groups."

    Visually very impressive on your first approach down that long drive, which sets the tone when you first enter to explore the huge interior. Near enough to many great beaches and various sites in Norfolk and lots of space. (9 adults and 5 children for us). Everybody who stays here will have varying comments whether its bed comfort or something personal to them, we didn't use the freezer facilities very much but could have done with more fridge space. It's an older property with lots of history, which does come with a few low doors so mind your head if tall like me. Being used to catering for large groups it has ample supplies of all manner of equipment. I would use it again and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Thanks to Julie (property.manager) who was very helpful and sorted out any questions and issues that arose. Yes I would recommend it to others.

    Lots of rooms, and bedrooms, and on the whole comfortable. A courtyard area with barbeques, a long table and chairs, all very pleasant. Slightly disappointing was the issue of the hot water supply, which did not stay hot for very long when we all returned from a day out and needed showers! For the cost of the rent of the property I think something should be done about this lack of hot water issue.

  • "The property is a unique and quirky place with lots of space for our party of 12 adults and 1 baby."

    The bedrooms are mostly fine although one room on the 2nd floor had a nearly double bed but it's really a single room. The kitchen is really well equipped with everything we needed for cooking and drinks. We had a lovely welcome basket with biscuits and drinks. It's really refreshing to find enough dishwasher tablets for our week-long stay. The mattress in the main bedroom is really soft and spongy meaning you roll together. Given the size of this room it really warrants a bigger than double bed. The snooker and table tennis room is a great asset and there were rooms we didn't use as there's so much space. The biggest issue for us was not having enough hot water for showers when required. This really needs addressing. There's a lovely big bath in the main bathroom but not enough hot water to use it! Julie was friendly, welcoming and approachable although the poor phone signal in the area meant she didn't receive my message until we went out. We ate and drank at the Vernon Arms and it's a lovely pub with great food and on the whole catered well for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters. We had a lovely family holiday here

    Thank you for you feedback. The bedroom on the top floor is advertised as a single room but I replaced the single bed with a 3/4 one just in case anyone wanted a bigger bed for one person. I did mention that the hot water tanks do not have the capacity to accommodate a lot people showering at the same time of day. This is a very old house so it is not possible to alter the plumbing or capacity of the tanks without major upheaval No one has flagged before up that there isn’t enough hot water to fill the large bath (this is an above average sized bath) and I guess it depends how full you wanted it before the hot water ran out. I have now UPDATE - it appears that both the timers to the hot water tanks had decided to go wrong at the same time. The problem has been attended to and hopefully resolved Property Owner

    Amazing place exceeded expectations Such good value for money Only niggle was the beds, mattresses very uncomfortable had this complaint from every couple in a double bed We had the master suite only had a double bed with a foot board not suitable when you’re 6’6” would have expected a king size and awful roll to the middle mattress, But we would still go back, Julie the house keeper extremely helpful and always at the end of the phone Fantastic place for a family get together Highly recommend

    I will investigate the mattress problem. None are very old and all have mattress toppers on too. I don’t really want to replace the bed in the master bedroom as it is part of the theme of that room. It is very difficult to supply beds to suit individual preferences regarding height, build , hard vs soft mattresses, footboards etc. there is a king size bed in one of the other bedrooms. However, thank you for visiting, it would be nice to see you again in the future Julie Property Owner

    The lighting in the snooker room, lots of the led bulbs were out and a direct light on the dartboard would be helpful, because the shadow of a beam goes right across the dartboard. These did not affect our overall enjoyment of our stay

    We were a hen party and the house had everything we needed and more. Every person said how perfect it was. The only issue was the hot water ran out after a few people had showers in the mornings. So some people had to have cold ones. Apart from that it was incredible. Julie the house manager was brilliant also, very accommodating and a good communicator. Will be recommending

    The long drive from the gate to the house made us think we were arriving at Windsor Castle; and with quiet countryside and the sea within reach, as well as many of Norfolk's 600 medieval churches to explore, and local pubs offering Admans beer, what is there not to like?

    Had a nice weekend thanks ' slightly disappointed that Sykes didn't mention broken windows ' multiple radiators leaking and so many flies it was unbelievable and unbearable for the younger children who constantly stating weren't going to sleep in the property that cost a lot of money and really we should of been warned about the fly infestation

    I can only apologies about the flies. They come without warning and despite my best efforts I did not manage to rectify the problem. I did mention them upon your arrival and offered to attend whenever you wanted to hoover up etc. It is no help to you I know, but I have a specialist company coming this week to fog all the attic and roof spaces. The radiators arnt leaking. There are 2 rooms with rust marks under the valve where someone in the past had not bled them correctly. I have tried with no luck to remove them. They are historic stains and the radiators work perfectly. The rest of the carpets in those rooms are in a good clean condition. At some point in the future these carpets will be replaced but in a 24 roomed house there has to be a maintainence and replacement schedule. There are often problems which arise with equipment, heating, electrics which are attended to immediately. It is impossible to do everything at once Unfortunately a guest staying recently broke some of the small panes at the very top of the gothic head leaded windows. This window does not open. II secured them with clear plastic to make them safe and weatherproof. Due to the location of these damaged panes it would not have spoilt the view from the window. The property is grade 2 listed and everything has to be replaced correctly. It is in hand, the glass has to be specially cut to size and installed by a proffessional. It is not something that can be done by a handyman. It is also on the third floor and a scaffold tower is needed. I personally didn’t feel it was worth mentioning to Sykes as to me the window is being dealt with and the rust stains have always been there. On another note, you arrived with 2 dogs who weren’t mentioned when booking, you didn’t pay for them nor did you offer I am sorry if these issues spoilt your stay Julie Stevens Property manager Property Owner

  • "This was a very impressive house approached by a lovely driveway."

    The house was very spacious and extremely quirky. The master suite was a joy to behold. It was enormous. The kitchen was also very efficient with 2 dishwashers and 2 fridge freezers to cope with all needs. There was plenty of safe outside space for children to play and a lovely walled courtyard that was perfect for barbeques. The only drawbacks we found were the bed in the master suite. I know it was a Victorian bed but it was so uncomfortable, very bouncy and it was impossible to tuck sheets in easily. Most of the bedrooms had efficient curtains to cut out the light but not all. One in particular at the top of the house had very thin curtains and our grandson was awake at 5am every morning. Overall it was a lovely house and I wish we had found it a few years ago when our grandchildren were a bit younger.

    Thank you for your comments. I am in the process of replacing the mattresses which need it. All other comments have been taken onboard and will be addressed. Unbeknown to me the cleaners had removed the mattress cover on the bed you mentioned hence the sheet would not stay on. This has now been rectified. Thank you for staying Property Owner

    Listed building so don’t expect everything to be brand new, but real character and nothing that put any of us off - a party of 10 lively 60+ pensioners. We would return tomorrow with our family, which includes small children and a dog. No problems with hot water or storage facilities. Wi-Fi was generally pretty good apart from in second floor bedrooms - but might be considered a bonus? Julie the managing agent was very helpful and lives close by if any problems.

    The kitchen is so well equipped. The men loved the snooker room, the kids loved the space and the garden. Us ladies would have loved the hot tub but sadly that is not currently available. That would have been the cherry on the top I think. The house needs a little bit of TLC in places but its a lovely homely place for a stay with a large group of people. It just takes a little while to learn your way around!! Julie was really helpful and great to deal with. We would stay again.

    We had to make the decision to discontinue the hot tub option. This was due to it taking over 15 hours to get to temperature plus whatever cost to maintain that temperature for the duration of the guests stay. With the high energy prices, the owner decided to withdraw this service . Property Owner

But we sat in the courtyard in the sunshine with a welcome cup of tea. Nothing was too much trouble. We were then shown around the very impressive house and had everything explained to us. It is set in a fantastic location with an abundance of space to unwind and recharge, close enough to local beaches. It is very well equipped. With ample room to spend time on your own if you wish. The children loved running around the garden.

  • "The house was wonderful, we booked it for a family gathering for my fathers 90th birthday and from the moment we entered it exceeded expectations."

    We were always warm and cosy yet had a huge amount of space where, if you wanted, could get away from the crowds. The house was really well equipped and the beds very comfortable. Julie was very helpful and I always felt that should the need have arisen she would have been there. But as all was just right we needed no help. Thank you for helping to make our weekend stay so special. We would love to come back in summertime to really appreciate the courtyard.

  • "We found the bedrooms and bathrooms very clean and the house was beautiful and spacious."

    We did however run out of oil for heating and it was sorted by Julie very quickly. The only negative was that the kitchen had poor cleanliness ie..coffee filter had filthy mouldy coffee in the machine which had to be cleaned and bleached before use. The dishwasher both had food leftovers in the machine filters and the bottom of the washer and the cooker smoked as had bad oil stains from a roast that smoked out the kitchen on turning on the eletric oven twice. I did have photos taken in case u needed them of the dishwashers. The grounds and the actual house was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was well equipped for open fires each night and warm. To improve the kitchen facilities large tins or baking dishes for shepherds pie/lasagne and sharp small knives for veg ...would up the quality of the facilities. We would return so it was not bad by any means and we brought large dishes and hot pot as we asked beforehand and have found this in most large houses. Such a big family to feed! The only misleading facilities which did not state in the advertising was the payment for the snooker room and the spa hot tub which is not included and has to be self organised and paid for if want to bring in.

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend with our children and grandchildren in this lovely part of Norfolk."

    The house was beautifully appointed and very well equipped. The night sky, free of light pollution, brought everyone out to gaze up at the stars. The house martins also proved popular, as they congregated on the aerial above the courtyard, where we were enjoying a morning coffee. Tea, milk and biscuits were provided, which was a lovely touch.

  • "We had an amazing holiday in this house - the house is huge, but still homely and welcoming."

    It has everything you are ever likely to need and has been set up very well to accommodate large families or groups. We loved being in the countryside enjoying the wildlife and walks, spotting the woodpeckers and partridge on the drive and star gazing at night. The. beaches of Overstrand or Mundesley are a ten minute drive, we loved these beaches as they are quieter and very clean. Our dogs were particularly happy as they had their own room and access to the enclosed courtyard. Julie was on hand to help out if needed and responded very quickly when we rang - she was also friendly and welcoming. We would definitely reccommend this house and hope to return soon.
