What our customers say about their holidays

  We absolutely loved it at Lanthorn Cottage.

  The 200 year old cottage is lovely, and the long garden was perfect for our dog to run up and down with a ball. The summer house was used by us daily, for reading a book or watching an ipad in the lovely peaceful surroundings. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the living room was cozy in the evenings. The beach was a short 10 minute walk away, through a field with a public footpath, turning left as you come out of the cottage road onto Grub Street, and then turn right off of Grub Street when you see the opening of the field. There's a clear walkway through the field, and then walk along the back of the caravan park and keep heading towards the lighthouse (zoom in on google maps or google earth, you can clearly see the footpath). There is a Tesco about 15 minutes drive away, but we've been to Eccles on Sea previously so knew our way around the area. I would always say to people who are looking to book a holiday anywhere, to do your research before finally booking. Although Sykes wont give you the full address of the cottage prior to your full payment being made, it does show you where the property is on the map and it's not that difficult to work out where the cottage is from the image shown on the website, or you can google the rough address and see whats local to the cottage, and where the beach is. I would say that we will probably be back to Lanthorn Cottage at some point, as we loved how quiet it was there, surrounded by fields and birdsong. The Housekeeper Siobhan was amazing, she gave us all the information we needed before we got there and nothing was too much trouble, not that we had any problems at all. The only reason we contacted her was to ask a couple of questions before we arrived and to thank her when we left. All in all, we would highly recommend Lanthorn Cottage.

  We have stayed at Greenacres before and have found the cottage relaxing and well equipped and also convenient being a short drive from Norwich.

  BBQ is a great asset. Games room has something for everyone and there are 3 rooms/lounges to rest and chill out which cater for all needs. A couple with TVs and another perhaps for quiet and reading. Bedrooms and bathrooms/WC all clean, tidy, well presented. Garden is lovely, well maintained and views are great with some amazing sunrises and sunsets. Birds, Pheasants and Muntjac spotted this week. Kids were very pleased to see a new BT hub for faster internet installed and working well this season and with three kids streaming videos or music, watching online movies and playing games this was welcomed for the evening periods of down time. In the warmer months, families have the option of eating at the outside dining table. In the winter months the lounge with log fire is lovely and comforting. Cottage is clean and tidy. Owner polite and responsive if and when we have needed assistance or support. We hired a day boat from Wroxham, shopped in Norwich, Beccles and Bungay and visited seals up at Horsey Gap. Cromer No.1 for fish and chips, Great Yarmouth for crazy golf or amusements for kids. Loddon has some pleasant walks alongside the river and has pubs, takeaways, co op and butchers. Greenacres is a great base for visiting Norfolk, Suffolk and has much to offer for a quiet stay but remains near to all amenities and activities such as Norwich, Cromer or Great Yarmouth has to offer.

  Super cottage, never saw the owner, maybe they didn't come because it was Xmas.

  Beautifully presented and decorated for Xmas. A little dusty, young children had stayed previously? As tv screens covered with small hand prints. Stairs were steep and possibly another handrail would help. Games room a little bit of a let down, messy, v cold and really just a shed. Lack of water was an issue, only 4 of us but still unable to all have a shower in the morning. Check in time very late-5pm? Usually 2or 3pm, no flexibility even for Xmas eve was very mean spirited, would rather checked in earlier than have welcome pack-although was a nice touch. Check out 9.30am, far too early, couldn't all have showers because of water issue and didn't have time for a proper breakfast. Finaal the Toaster had been broken at some stage and only one side toasted, left a note to state it wasn't us. Cleaned and left as tidy as when we arrived. I would return as the benefits out weighed the negatives but would like arrival and departure times looked at by owner. Happy New year Sykes, looking forward to our cottage we have booked in April

  Beautiful remote setting.

  If peace and quiet is what you are searching for, then look no further. Despite being a cottage, the property is spacious and fully equipped with a modern feel to the rear of the property and original cottage feel to the front. We had two families of 4 staying together and there was plenty of space for all of us. The welcome pack was a nice touch and the owner popped by on the second morning to make sure we had everything and were alright. We were then left to it. Having visited for New Year, it was great that the property was tastefully decorated for Christmas, so felt like a home from home. The games room was also a nice touch for both the kids and the grown up kids! Whilst the staircase was steep, it was manageable. The property was clean throughout and clearly very well maintained. I would have no hesitation in recommending Greenacres to any of my friends or family. Thanks for a lovely stay.

  I honestly cannot fault Greenacres at all.

  It's a beautiful property with everything you could possibly need. Very spacious with lovely beds and furniture and good bathroom/en-suite facilities. Fab kitchen and utility room and even outdoor drying space. The wrap around garden isn't featured much in the advertising photos, which is a shame, because it is a lovely garden area which our grandsons enjoyed playing in. Younger children would need supervising because of the split level but that's common sense anyhow. It was great to see and hear Roe deer calling to each other. Our boys enjoyed playing in the games shed as well.....and the internet connection was good. We won't hesitate to book again in the future and also to highly recommend. Thank you for the thoughtful welcome pack and for the friendly communications. We had a wonderful 2 weeks in a very lovely house and very peaceful surroundings. Everything we expected......and more. :-)
