"The cottage was a lovely little place."
The photos on line were different of the furniture in the lounge.a couple of little things the lights in the lounge keep flickering.the lights above the dinning table flash go off back on the flash and go off again.then sometimes they stay on..The bed is noisey when you move ,the toilet seat upstairs keeps coming off and the one down stairs moves.the hot tap in the down stairs drips.And could do with some oven clothes as had to use tea towels and burnt my hands a couple of times.but overall we had a loveky break away and the dogs enjoyed themselves we would definitely go back again to this cottage again
Hi Many thanks for your feedback, we are working hard to get the cottage back to its A ratings after a few setbacks over the last couple of months. I'm reaching out to just let you know a couple of bits in response to your review. For some reason the bulbs used a week or so ago to replace dead ones are not the right ones, we are changing them to dimmable ones that will stop the annoying flickering. We replaced the sofa (in the pictures) in the spring after it was damaged by a guest. Sykes didn't feel it necessary to do new pictures, although we had asked them. We will be replacing the sofa again, as well as the bed in a couple of weeks and will insist that sykes do a new set of photos. The doors on the bedroom cupboard will also be replaced at that point. The toilet seats will be looked at, as well as the taps. There should have been some oven gloves in the 2nd drawer and will replace them immediately. A new runner should be in the hallway this week, if not there already. Finally we are going to change the flooring in the courtyard with a resin bonded gravel so we don't suffer from weeds coming up and it looks smarter. We very much hope that these upgrades get us back to where we aspire to be, as we love Hideaway Cottage and want it to be viewed by guests in a positive light. I very much hope that we will see you again next year. Best regards Andy Inman Property Owner

"Lovely little holiday home, location was perfect for us as I am recovering from surgery and couldn't go far so having everything so close was amazing."
The cottage had everything you needed and the caretaker (Stacey) was amazing sorting out the WiFi which wasn't working (we wouldn't have bothered but as we couldn't go far it was important to be able to access this for us). The only problems that we found were that the settee wasn't very comfortable (again probably because we couldn't do much and therefore had to stay in for longer than normal) and the shower wasn't very powerful. On the whole we had a good rest which was just what the Dr ordered!
Thank you for your feedback, we have had a horrid time with Sky Iver the last couple of weeks, trying to get the broadband back up and running, and Stacey has been a star! We empathise with your frustration but glad it was eventually sorted during your stay. We will be upgrading the furniture and bed during the winter and are delighted to hear that other aspects of your holiday were just what the Dr ordered. We hope to see you both again. Property Owner

"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.
It was good to be able to chat with you both today. Thank you for your understanding of some of the difficulties we have had, and as discussed we are addressing the various issues in the coming weeks. As discussed we hope to see you both again next year. Property Owner

"Fantastic little cottage we loved staying there and hopefully we will be booking ..."
Fantastic little cottage we loved staying there and hopefully we will be booking for next year as well we loved all the small touches for our dog as well as the cookies etc the only down side was the WiFi doesn't work it shows an outside fault and the down stairs toilet continually gurgles so there is possibly a blockage somewhere that needs looking into other than that it was fabulous
Thank you so much for the feedback, we are delighted that you enjoyed your holiday. We have spoken with Sky about the broadband and they assure us that it's being sorted. We have also spoken to our property manager about the gurgling who will be looking into that issue. Thank you once again. Property Owner

"Nice property which was central to Hunstanton."
. Provided far more than we expected. The stay was dog freindly and we were given clear instructions on the parking. Would be useful to put down a hallway runner as the surface was a bit slippery for our dog. Excellent stay and very central. Ideal stay for a couple.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. We had to take the hallway runner away just before your stay, as a previous guest had marked it beyond repair. We will be putting a new one in very shortly. Thanks for the feedback and we are glad you had a good holiday. Property Owner

"Everything was provided for us to use as it would be in our home."
The overall look and decoration was very tasteful and added to the enjoyment of our stay there. The cottage is a real gem being near to shops and just a short walk to grassed areas and not far to views of the sea.
-
"The cottage was perfect for a great week in Hunstanton it was the best equipped place we have stayed in everything was provided for our comfort and the decorations really added to a week at the coast."
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your cottage.

"Really lovely holiday stay right in the town centre and close to the amusements."
They left us a pint of milk and a packet of hobnobs to welcome us which was a welcoming touch. Great facilities and a cosy feel, very dog friendly with dog bed, bowls and toys provided. Washing machine was also handy considering the very wet weather we had! The only drawback was the double bed was very creaky/noisy any time you moved and the mattress was very hard! Not a great nights sleep for us, might just be personal preference. Everything else was brilliant!
-
"Hideaway was the right name for it."
It was just what we needed for a break before the winter. It had everything that you needed for a enjoyable homely break
-
"Lovely property, ideally situated, feels like your own home."
Have stayed before and will do so again.

"As in my previous report after leaving it is the same yard needed weeding all dead plants removed dog mess collected."
Bedroom walls needed stripping and mould treated as paper was peeling off. Mould in shower needs to be removed rug in hall needs to be cleaned. And about 100 tickets hearts etc removed from every where

"Great location."
Practically in the centre of town. Very quiet location. Beds were soo comfortable. Thanks to the owners for telling us about the weekly parking at Valentine car park which was £10.80 pw and 2 minutes from the house. We visited The Terace restaurant twice whilst in Hunstanton that does a Tapas night 3 times a week with BYOB. Great food and highly recommended.

"A beautiful cottage in a lovely position, would thoroughly recommend a stay here"

"Love the cottage."
Just like home from home very clean in a quiet lane but near the shops and beach.Would stay there again
-
"We loved our stay at Hideaway Cottage."
Thoughtfully equipped and really had everything we needed. Being tall both of us struggled a little in the small double bed, but other than that it was perfect. The owners were helpful and caring.

Andy and Penny thought of absolutely everything. The cottage was spotlessly clean . Would recommend to anyone and expect to return next year .
-
"Exactly as described, suitable for a couple or couple with small kids."
we would rebook without hesitation

"This is the second stay at Hideaway Cottage for myself and my dog and I have booked again for April 2023."
The cottage is very comfortable and in a very convenient location. It is especially convenient for me as I travel by public transport and it is close to the bus station. The cottage is very dog friendly and so is Hunstanton.
-
"We were very disappointed that there was no parking at the cottage."
Parking was essential for us as my sister is recovering from a hip replacement. It was not pleasant walking down a dark unmade alleyway after we had been out for an evening meal. In addition we had to pay to park in a public carpark. We regrettably will not be booking with Sykes again
-
"Excellent cottage in a lovely location."
We have only given 3* due to the fact we were only able to stay for 2 out of the 7 nights booked as my father in law passed away suddenly and we had to cut short our stay.
-
"Could not fault this property."
Enjoyed our stay.
-
"We had a lovely time at hideaway cottage, very clean and cosy but not cramped."
The little garden and parking space right outside were a bonus. Close enough to the centre of town to enjoy all the attractions, but not bothered by noise or people passing by. Would definitely like to stay here again.
-
"A fantastic property."
Beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean & a great location. Lovely patio area which was an absolute sun trap & made a great place to chill after long dog walks. I cannot recommend this property highly enough. Would not hesitate to stay here again when we return to Norfolk. The owners reached out on the first day to let us know the property was ready early, very attentive but not intrusive. Thank you Andy & Penny for a fabulous stay
-
"The property is ideally situated in Hunstanton, 10min."
walk to beach. Shops and restaurants, cafes just a walk away, and Sainsburys just across the road. The Hidaway Cottage is very clean, modern and well maintained, ideal for my wife and I and our Cavapoo puppy.

"Beautiful cottage, perfect location, felt like home frm home"
-
"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 :)

"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!

"Fabulous cottage, close to beech, shops and bars."
Very well equipped, warm comfortable and clean. Some personal touches that make your stay special. Owner got in touch to ensure all well which shows they care about their rentals. Beech was lovely with lots of space for the dog to run. Parking space great. Couldn’t fault anything. Fabulous and well worth a visit.
-
"Clean, comfortable, nicely decorated, well equipped, central position, near the sea, great walks, plenty of good local restaurants."
Location would be best described as down the lane, opposite Sainsburys.
-
"A lovely quirky cottage perfect for us as a couple with our dog."
Great location and nicely decorated. The cottage was exactly as the photographs on the website. As it was end of season the property does need a deep clean. I was getting something I dropped under the sofa and it was full of dust and an old pigs ear chew (not ours) so obviously not had a proper clean. The lounge windows need a deep clean also to remove condensation mould. There were some dead flies on the kitchen window sill too. It may not have had this because it has been booked out constantly. We would come back if this was done. Lovely card welcoming us along with milk, biscuits and dog treats. Thank you
Wendy, Thank you for your comprehensive review, we have passed your comments on to our cleaners now that we have received them. Property Owner

"Great cottage in an ideal location within minutes walk to the beach and town centre."
Supermarket less than 2 minutes walk away. Very comfy beds, good wifi, nice shower and a very well equipped kitchen. What more could you want. The parking space is a big plus too.
-
"Very good facilities also well stocked with loo rolls which is usually not the case sometimes only less than one No complaints except for me stairs a tad difficult as mobility an issue but not owners fault."
Only comment is that shower a little small but it is a very nice and exceptionally clean bijou cottage Would recommend.
-
"Cottage was beautifully clean, very good facilities within the cottage and is lovely to have a private garden/courtyard."
Owners contacted to say it would be ready earlier than stated which was brilliant. Would definitely stay again at this cottage.
-
"There was absolutely nothing we could suggest that would improve the cottage."
Probably the best we have stayed at in ten years
-
"A really compact, well equipped, very dog friendly accommodation in a perfect location."
Thank you.
-
"It is a great location and provided a very peaceful and relaxing holiday let."
-
"The cottage was so well equipped."
They had thought of everything. Andy and Penny were in touch with us ; just on a helpful basis; which was reassuring. Would certainly stay again.
-
"A gorgeous little cottage, located right in the centre of Hunstanton, with parking, which was a real bonus and a lovely outside area to chill in the evenings over a glass of wine."
Inside, everything was lovely, with so many little touches which were very much appreciated, like leaving, tea and coffee, a welcome card, dog bowls and even a treat for the dog! The cottage really has everything you need for a lovely stay, and is decorated to make you feel like you are at the seaside. Location brilliant and just a very short walk to the beach and front, as well as a Sainsburys just a hundred yards away. The hosts were great and responded to requests really quickly! All in all a fantastic week. We will definitely be back.
-
"Lovely cottage beautifully decorated."
Every need catered for in central location.
-
"This is very comfortable and clean accommodation in a quiet part of Hunstanton town."
It is within very easy walking distance to the promenade and beach. Old Hunstanton beach is lovely. The owners were easily contactable and very helpful. We really enjoyed our first visit to the area.
-
"Immaculately presented cottage with everything thought of."
Subtle touches that made our stay that more comfortable and provided that bit of extra enjoyment, Our hosts were on hand if required, the location is both convenient and quiet.....Sainsburys next door and shops and the prom just down the road
-
"We had a great week at Hideaway Cottage despite very changeable weather."
It’s in a good location in the town yet tucked away so it’s really quiet. Sainsbury’s store was one minute walk away and parking also very close, cost for the week in the Valentine Road car park was under £9.00. Location is handy for restaurants and the seafront. The cottage is very well equipped which we appreciated and it’s nicely decorated and furnished, bedrooms are small but very comfortable. The location is ideal for exploring the North Norfolk area.
-
"Felt that the back yard entrance could have done with some new plants added as some had died."
also there was a loose tap in the main bathroom and felt the bathroom could have been cleaner than it was.
We appreciate your feedback and hope the comments raised did not affect your stay. We do contact guests prior to arrival to let them know that we are on hand if there are any issues during their stay as we like to deal with them as soon as possible. Feedback on departure is always very important to us so that we can work on improving your holiday experience. We have taken steps to rectify the issues you have raised. Property Owner

"This is a lovely little house tucked away in a really good location in Hunstanton."
The house is well equipped with everything you would need and is and decorated with a great seaside theme. The courtyard garden is a little oasis to relax in the sunshine and very quiet considering how close you are to the main part of town.
-
"What a fabulous find, the cottage has everything you need."
Once you unload your car you really don’t need it again until you leave! Would definitely recommend to everyone!
-
"Hideaway Cottage is the most delightful cottage."
It’s cosy, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We loved staying there. It’s right in the heart of the town center. Minutes from the beach and the bus station. There is a Saiinsbury’s literally across the road from the cottage. I would highly recommend Hideaway Cottage.

Unload your car right outside the front door before parking up at the roadside or the nearby car park, kicking off your boots in the convenient porch before soaking up the splendour of your home-from-home.
Venture past the cloakroom which hosts a handy washing machine and a freezer too, before stepping into the galley kitchen to prepare a delicious feast for the group; modest but well-equipped with everything you could possibly need, be sure to sample some fresh seafood for a true taste of the coast.
Take your dining experience into the living/dining room, styled with a charming country theme while the rest of the property echoes a nautical aura, here you can toast to a terrific holiday around the table before snuggling up on the plush corner sofa for the evening.
Move up to the first floor to find the two well-presented bedrooms of a master double bedroom, boasting a charming interior and a good amount of storage space for your personal belongings, as well as being served by the sparkling shower room.
Begin your days out in the enclosed garden sipping on your morning coffee while your canine companion stretches their legs, taking your pick from either the sun trap of the patio or the lovely gravelled area, a wonderful area for alfresco dining.
Step out the front door and take the short stroll into the centre of the town to be met by a whole host of wonders; indulge in a tasty breakfast in one of the eateries scattered along the seafront including restaurants, pubs and cafés, or pick up some fresh ingredients for a picnic on the beach, Hunstanton being renowned for its spectacular sunsets, offering a romantic setting at any time of the year.
Make the most of your coastal location with a stroll along the traditional promenade lined with funfair rides, golf, a leisure centre, a sea life centre and so much more, ending your day with some fish and chips before taking a walk towards Old Hunstanton to find colour cliff faces and rock pools where you can spot rich marine life.
Spend time soaking up the sun on the sandy beach, with plenty of opportunities for watersports, or take a sea tour to experience the waters in a different way, where you can embark on a seal safari whilst being surrounded by panoramic views and learning of the area's enticing history.
Bird watchers will delight at the property's close proximity to the RSPB Titchwell Marsh where bearded tits and marsh harriers nest, as well as there being another beach here with views across The Wash, making the perfect spot for a brisk stroll while the wider area of the Norfolk Coast AONB boasts so many fantastic walking and cycling routes to discover.
