• "Nice welcome pack."

  Very much appreciated. Info on table nice touch but out of date. No plug in sink

  Thank you Steven. There must a a Phantom Pakefield Plug Pilferer as this was replaced only a couple of weeks ago! We will sort it out. Always happy for guests to update local information and we will update and check everything ourselves. I hope this didn't spoil your stay. Property Owner

• "Property had not been by 3pm."

  When cleaners arrived they didn't vacuum or mop floors at all, just changed sheets/towels and dusted. They were gone within 20mins. Windows, paintwork, floors very dirty. List of small maintance jobs need doing Nice little house nice area spoiled by lack of attention

  Dear Josephine, I am truly sorry about this experience. As you know we spoke on your arrival and the there was clearly an unprecedented problem with the cleaners. The past reports on cleanliness of the cottage have been very complimentary in the main and any reports have been actioned as soon as possible. If you had raised these concerns with me during your stay - before publishing on the web site - I would have arranged to get everything fixed there and then. As it is, a thorough deep clean has now been arranged for the whole property in addition to the weekly one. Once I again I do apologise and hope that despite this you were still able enjoy your stay in one of the most beautiful and unexplored areas of our coastline. Property Owner

• "We had a really nice stay here, perfect location."

  We did stay with two young children , which was a little challenging without a stair gate but we managed just fine. Parking was never an issue and always managed to find a spot outside. Would definitely stay again, and it was really nice having a secluded area office as we did need to work when we were away. WiFi was all really good too. Thank you.

  You are most welcome and we look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner

• "Very nice stay,everything close by very nice walks and most places welcome we'll behaved dogs."

  Nice welcome pack and cleaning pack supplied a nice touch! Would be happy to return for another stay.Would benefit from having a plug in the sink and maybe a new bin in bathroom as one in there now is visablely rusty.

  So glad you enjoyed your stay. I'm not sure why these things have happened but it is now being sorted and do apologise. You are very welcome to return and hopefully give us a better score next time! Property Owner

  Location is fab when you are staying with dogs so quick to the beach and dog friendly places to eat and stop for a cheeky drink

  Cheeky or not cheeky it's a marvellous local tradition! Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay - the area is indeed very dog-friendly. Property Owner

• "Lovely little property."

  Well turned out had everything we needed for a short stay. Well equipped kitchen. Very small yard all concrete ok for our little dog as we were out all day everyday but might not be enough for a large breed. Would definitely recommend.

  Thank you so much for your review. Yes the back yard is a little sun trap - nice for sitting out in to have breakfast - but not for exercising dogs. Fortunately, as you will have found, the coast and beach are literally just 3 or 4 minutes walk away - ideal for exercising your loved ones! We do hope you enjoyed your stay and would be pleased to welcome you back again. Property Owner

  Lovely part of the country to stay. Plenty of places to visit. House comfortable and felt we could relax with our dog. Very quiet area if you want to relax but fab places to eat nearby if you don't want to cook Parking on the street but not not a problem for us.

  Thank you for your review - we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay - we do love Pakefield! Property Owner

• "We had a great week at this lovely cottage."

  Perfect, quiet location with a 2 minute walk to the sea and 2 excellent pubs. A great base to visit several villages and beaches with plenty of independent shops, cafes, etc and always friendly people. Would love the chance to stay at Gulls Rest again.

  Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. You are most welcome - Pakefield is a little Gem of a seaside location - not widely known but much appreciated by all who visit. When we ourselves stay at Gull's Nest we always find it so relaxing. You a very welcome to stay again. Property Owner

• "Lovely light seaside cottage."

  Cosy and comfy. Perfect for a little doggie too. The welcome gifts of wine, milk, crisps, cookies and bottled water was a very thoughtful touch. Quiet and peaceful location. Just a short stroll from the lovely Pakefield beach. The cordoned off steep-stepped private area of the cottage was at first intriguing to my doggie but first step up I said no and he didn't bother with it any more. I would say that if anyone is travelling alone, and likes to check out all of the house for peace of mind, no bogie man lurking etc , then this may not be for you with the cordoned off, but not locked away, upper floor. This wasn't a problem for me but could be for others. A lovely Sunday to Wednesday stay in early May! Thank you.

  Thank you for the lovely feedback Claire - and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Many Thanks - Ray and Rosamund Property Owner

• "Had a great week, this was my 4th visit to this village."

  The CH did not appear to come on until c7.75/8pm - an additional room heater would have been useful, but this was not an issue. I would not hesitate to spend another week in this cottage.

  Thank you Brian - we are so glad you enjoyed your stay at our lovely cottage. You can adjust the c/h settings at anytime with the electronic switch on the wall on the stairwell. It is quite easy to use. We only ask that - given the recent massive increase in our energy bills - the c/h is used sensibly and it is turned down when you leave. We would be pleased to have you return anytime and hopefully the above will help next visit! Property Owner

• "Enjoyed our time at Gulls Nest."

  Good location, near the beach. Local shop/ 2 good pubs serving food nearby. My only criticisms would be: lack of a vacuum cleaner/broom. Wasn’t possible to keep floors very clean as there was only a long handled brush and dustpan. It would have been good to at least be able to remove dog hairs and any crumbs etc regularly. Also, instructions for the induction hob would have been useful.Not everyone has one at home !! we never did work out why it kept turning itself off during cooking !!!! Overall our stay at Gulls Nest was very enjoyable. It was well maintained and nicely decorated.

  Dear Betty So Glad you enjoyed your stay. There is a vacuum cleaner now under the stairs. Property Owner
