• "Had a fabulous stay at the cottage."

  I love how it looks small from outside, but there so much room inside and very well equipped and comfortable, was chilly when we arrived but the cottage heats up very quickly. Nice selection of games, books and dvds available. Had no issue at all with parking out the front either. I would say the stairs could be tricky for elderly or the less able as they are quite steep, but this was no problem for us. If I could give one small suggestion would be a pint of milk on arrival to go along with the tea and coffee provided, many places we have stayed in provide this and its a nice touch if you have travelled a long distance and want a cuppa as soon as you arrive

  Thank you for your positive feedback, and for being such considerate guests. The cottage was left very clean and tidy. Regards Jacky and Richard Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage, spotlessly clean."

  Everything there we needed. Lovely area, great for exploring especially the beautiful coastline. We had a small problem with the TV which was sorted out within a few hours so we were very pleased with the landlord's response. Excellent Rose and Crown pub just down the road serves excellent food.

  This is our second visit this year. The location in Snettisham is handy for both short and longer trips in Norfolk, and the village has a good range of facilities. Jacky and Richard are attentive to guest's needs and go that extra mile to support any approaches made to them. The cottage is on our list to come again.

• "We only had a short stay of three nights as part of visit to the Norfolk coast with the grandchildren."

  We found the cottage easily thanks to the instructions from the owners. We found it very comfortable and well equipped although we chose to mostly eat out with the grandchildren. The conservatory and sunny garden were pleasant to sit in and relax. There was plenty of choice in the village of places to eat or in Hunstanton a short drive away. We did manage to park the car off road at night or else in a side road. As a base for us to explore it was ideal for the short time we had. Peter and Marie

  The owners are extremely helpful, and the cottage is beautifully presented, and is very relaxing to stay in. It is well equipped for a self catering stay, but there are places nearby to eat out if you prefer, some walking distance, and some a short drive away. Lovely position close to country side and coast.

  Very clean and with everything you could need for your stay including even Netflix! The location is ideal for most local places with Hunstanton only a few miles away. I got my car on the front garden but I have a small Micra anything bigger would not fit! Although you can easily park a bit down the road out of the way. If I had a bigger car would we go back - YES we would. A really enjoyable stay.

• "We felt that the property was tired and required a refresh."

  Minimal light in the house and extremely poor light from the fittings. Heating was very good and the property clean. The parking in front of the property is impossible and dangerous due to a very busy road however parking in Strickland Ave was a good option. We were very disappointed with this property and for us it didn’t reflect previous reviews.

  Thank you for your feedback. We were surprised by some of your comments, as the vast majority of our guests leave us feedback in excess of 90%. We pride ourselves on being considerate and responsible owners. We decorate throughout the cottage annually in order to keep it fresh and appealing. If you had contacted either Sykes or ourselves on one of the three contact numbers provided we would have welcomed the opportunity to discuss your concerns during your stay.

• "Duck Cottage was lovely - very comfortable and well-equipped."

  We enjoyed christening the games set in the conservatory. Despite being on a busy road, the cottage was quiet and peaceful. Snettisham was a good location for holidaying in North West Norfolk, being nicely between Hunstanton and Sandringham. Only tiny point worth noting is that (as others have said) the area in front of the cottage is only just big enough for a small or medium (at a push) car. However, if you have a larger car, there is space just along the road a very short way on a side street, so not a deal-breaker.

  It is a real credit to the owners there was nothing that we wanted that wasn't there. During the heatwave last week it was a pleasure to go inside into the cool main part of the cottage. there is a lovely conservatory on the back good to sit in on cooler days. The ducks are very amusing also there seems to be a local owl to listen to at night. Snettisham is a good base to explore the lovely surrounding area and has plenty of local places to eat.

  The information given on the website is accurate but the photos do not give the full extent of the size of the property- it goes back and back with a lovely garden behind. The cottage is provided with everything you need and is warm and comfortable. Jacky gave us full control over the heating, which we found to be perfect. The parking is exactly as is said in the description. Our Golf fit on it and we found no problem getting onto it. Our daughter had brought her car, which she parked 50 yards away on a residential street with no issues. We found the cottage to be an excellent base for exploring North Norfolk and would have no hesitation in booking again.

• "There were a few problems, mainly with the parking on the ‘driveway’."

  It is awkward to get on it as there is always traffic coming both ways. It was a very busy road which was not mentioned. The car also stuck out over the path. The settees were not at all comfortable, good job we were out all day! The heating is left on all day and night so in the middle of the night it comes on and wakes you up, so we had to turn it right down, consequently it was cold in the morning. To get hot water to flow in the kitchen we had to run out about a gallon of water every time. In these days of conversation that is a lot of water wasted every day. The beds in the second bedroom were really children’s beds and not at all suitable for adults. On the plus side the property was very clean and very very warm. Wouldn’t book the same one again though.

  Dear Mr Oliver I was sorry to hear via your feedback that you were unhappy with some aspects of your recent stay in Duck cottage. I agree that Lynn Road can be busy at certain times, . The lack of a dropped kerb and a description of the drives dimensions are included in the cottages description. The 2 bunk beds in the smaller room are 2 foot 6 single beds and are not marketed as children's beds. They are the same length as most other beds We had left the heating on constant as the temperature had varied such allot over the recent weeks in East Anglia, going from very cold to wet and mild very quickly. I had hoped that this would give our guests more flexibility to adjust the temperature of the cottage to meet their needs. Rather then leaving the heating to come on at scheduled times throughout the day. I had left our contact details in the cottage and do wish you had called us on one of the three numbers we provided. I would have been more then happy to talk you through adjusting the programmer from constant to timed. Or coming out to adjust the programmer to meet your needs. There is also allot of information regarding adjusting the programmer in the cottage information folder. The programmer is in the smaller wardrobe of the master bedroom. We do take all customer feedback seriously as we like to think that are customers have an enjoyable break in Duck Cottage, and in future will ask the client whether they prefer the heating to be left on timed or constant. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for leaving the cottage so very clean and tidy upon your departure. Yours Jacky Richardson. Property Owner

  It had a beautiful mix of character features combined with contemporary style. The garden and conservatory were lovely places to enjoy breakfast and evening drinks. The cottage was situated within a really sweet village with access to lots of interesting places to visit. We would highly recommend the deer safari and Sandringham House. We also enjoyed a trip to Norfolk Lavender where we had a delicious lunch. The seaside town of Hunstanton offered crazy golf and arcades for the children to enjoy. The only minor problem was the lack of wifi as we would have liked to have checked the weather forecast, entry costs, opening times etc. However, the flip-side of no wifi meant that the teenagers were more sociable and didn't spend the entire time with their faces locked to their phones! Thank you, Sykes, for another lovely holiday.
