"Absolutely beautiful property set in a lovely area."
We had a fabulous break here for my dad’s 80th birthday.. ideal for visiting our local places. The one thing that could be improved is a slightly bigger property sign, all of us missed the turn off. I would highly recommend staying, be a great Christmas stay

"Excellent house for a large family group."
We stayed for our 50th anniversary family celebration with three grown up children and their partners and seven grandchildren. The hot tub was a great addition and enjoyed by all. The teenage children made great use of the games room. The house was spotlessly clean and everything was as we hoped.
Hello, thank you for your lovely feedback. We do hope to see you all very soon again. Property Owner

"We loved our stay at High House, perfect for my Husbands 70th birthday party."
All of our guests loved the property and setting, the games room was very popular, as was the fire pit on one evening. Having the snug room for our younger members to use and the lounge for adults was an advantage . The very large dining table was excellent for family meals. Loved having real pot plants around the house, made it feel very special. An extractor above the cooker would be an advantage as unfortunately the main oven had not been cleaned and smoked when it was turned on setting off the fire alarms. I did clean the oven but it still filled with smoke when I tried to use it again. This was our only issue.
Hi, thank you for your feedback. We apologise for the state of the oven on this occasion. Rest assured the oven is cleaned thoroughly on every turn over in addition to a professional clean twice a year. Property Owner

"The house was excellent, brilliant for family gatherings, it had everything we needed, but is in need of a little maintenance."
Door handles falling off locks not working properly. However we loved the place and would definitely stay again, for us it was perfect.
Hi, thank you for your feedback. We do hope to see you all again very soon. Please note that we have a maintenance book in the hallway so our caretaker can remedy any issues on a changeover day. All doors have been checked and are working fine. The annex at the rear has run over by a month due to the unseasonal rain in the spring but is now very much in its final stages. Property Owner

"Stunning house in a beautiful location."
Really conveniently located for the beach and town. House was very tidy and well maintained, including the gardens. Views are spectacular and there are no neighbours to be concerned of noise. My only complaint is that the hot tub was a real selling point for us but wasn't warm enough to get in until our second night. It took a over a day of us being there to heat up. I contacted the host to see if I could speed this up but to this day did not receive a reply. Despite this I would absolutely stay again. Builders were there but barely visible and we didn't hear a peep.

"The family bathroom lock was not working, causing a few guests to be locked in."
The dishwasher was difficult to work without no clear manual provided. However, it is a beautiful place and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay
Thank you for your feedback. We can respond to any problem like this if we are contacted. We hope to see you again very soon. Property Owner

"Excellent house with great amenities, most well equipped house we have stayed in."
Plenty of bathrooms/ toilets. Great to have a dining room where 12 of us can sit around a table comfortably. If the weather had been better we would have made use of the outdoor space & seating. Hot tub was lovely but towards the end of the week it went green, telephone advice was given but I feel it should have been maintained throughout our stay. Everywhere else we have stayed the hot tub is checked daily. A lovely house for a family gathering only downside you have to drive from the house to go anywhere, no footpaths.
Hi, thank you for your feedback. If guests follow our hot tub guidelines there should be no problems. There is in fact a public footpath in the lovely field in the front of the house which takes you to the local villages. Hope to see you all again soon. Property Owner

"High house is a perfect house for a large family or group of friends."
The weather in Norfolk isn't always the best but the house caters for the odd day at home. The games room is amazing. There were builders on site who shared the drive, they were very polite and considerate and didn't cause any problems whatsoever . We had a leaky shower , the owner organised a plumber to come the same day, all fixed while we were out. Overall a great house. Oh and room for 5 cars to park.

"Several months after booking this property we were advised that there was building work in the woods behind the house."
Sykes assured us that this would not impact negatively on our stay. In actual fact the building is being constructed adjoining the house which did impact our enjoyment of the location quite considerably. Builders started work with their hammer/nail guns at 7.20 am. Vans were constantly in and out throughout the day. Voices could be heard from within High House. Builders were directly outside some of bathroom and bedroom windows. Parking for guests is limited to three cars. Some bedrooms only have a roof light which is not as advertised. The cooker was very dirty and the overhead lights for the cooker which is located in a dark recess were not working. I was told just before our holiday was due to commence that there was CCTV camera in the drive. This camera is in fact positioned in a tree directly pointing at the hot tub which I feel is quite an invasion of privacy. While the house is very nice I would not recommend anyone to book a holiday while this building work is ongoing. I have been unable to get any response from Sykes on these issues despite contacting them three times so I would not recommend Sykes either.
Dear Sonia, thank you for your feedback. We do apologise that you feel your enjoyment of your stay was impacted by the restoration work at the rear of the house. We are surprised to hear such criticism as a phone call to us could have resolved some issues immediately. In addition, please note: the large and wide driveway can comfortably fit at least five cars; one of the top floor bedrooms has a velux window; the cooker is cleaned after very stay and is professionally cleaned every 3 months; the overhead lights were fixed immediately; the camera view is fixed on the driveway only; and the work finishes mid June.

"We rented the house for my 50th birthday celebrations - 12 of us!"
Just incredible! Exactly what we wanted/needed and more! Immaculate house, stunning interior, lots of space, incredible amount of kitchen equipment, clean and tidy and the perfect setting for a long weekend. All towels and bedding provided. Great location, no neighbours and close to the coast! Would highly recommend and hope to return one day.

"This holiday cottage has been our best stay yet, as a group we have been going away in the half term week for 8 years."
The location was amazing not far from cromer beach and other places for the kids. Facilities and Space where excellent. Lots of space in all rooms. Huge garden area. The games room and hot tub was an added bonus. Along with the outdoor chairs and large fire pit which was ace for bonfire night and marshmellows. We have a made some memories that ourselves and kiddies will remember for a lifetime. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. (I could go on... we will definately recommend).
Hi, we are so pleased that you all had such a great time - and especially the children too. We hope you will soon be making further memories at High House! Property Owner

"We booked High House to celebrate my best friends hen weekend, and it was absolutely perfect!"
So comfortable and so clean, and it came with everything you needed to cook for yourself. We loved the dishwasher, as it made it super easy to clean up after ourselves without too much hassle. The hot tub was a big hit with the girls, it was much needed on one of the hottest weekends of the year! The interior decor is beautiful and the front/back outside areas are gorgeous. The house is also only a 10 minute drive away from Cromer beach! I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough! Thank you for a lovely weekend.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We have an Instagram account where you might like to post some photos https://www.instagram.com/highhouse1/ Our latest news is that we now have a new tumble dryer and also a second Smart TV. Property Owner

"Fantastic house for our family of 6 adults and 4 children."
Everything we needed in the house cooking equipment, crockery cutlery and tools. Toy and games room a massive hit and a chill out in the hot tub. The house was so popular it is definitely a return. Ideally placed for country and beach walks with the dogs and children and a sneaky escape to the Vernon and Gunton for a beer. 11 out of 10

"Amazing stay here."
Terrific house. Perfect set-up for our families and dogs. Xmas tree was a lovely touch and surprise. House laid out really well, especially for the hot tub and close access to laundry room/towels/wc etc. Fun having the games room. Easy to use thermostat/wifi/SkyTv. Helpful advice from owners. Great setting, short drive to amenities/pubs/Cromer. Can't fault it. Sad to be home.

"We had such an amazing time."
Beautiful house, such character and charm. The views were wonderful. The rooms were all amazing and clean and roomy and gorgeous. Clean and tidy and beautiful. We all had such a fantastic time. We hope and want to return next year and maybe for a bit longer if you’ll have us. Next time we will hope to do a BBQ too.
Hello, we are delighted you had such a good time. We hope to see you again very soon. Property Owner

"Positives - Overall, beautiful house and location/setting."
Lots of space for a large family get-togethers. Ample supplies of crockery, cutlery and cooking implements/ovenware. Crisp clean and comfortable bedding. Clean toilets and shower facilities. Negatives - Virtually insecure door in the sunroom that leads to the jacuzzi, locks at top and bottom are coming away from the wood. Dart board disintegrating, with only two complete darts. Lots of holes, not only on the wall around the dart board, but also on the adjacent door. Bare cloth on the pool table. Toilet roll holder in top floor ensuite bathroom, fell off the wall. Foul sewage smell from the first floor main bedrooms ensuite; had to keep the windows open at all times and the door to the bedroom shut. The bedding was clean and maybe a hoover was ran round the house by the cleaners prior to arrival, but the wooden and tiled floors were filthy. One person wore white socks around the house on the first day, which were black by the evening. We also needed to wipe down the dining room table and all the placemats before use.
