  Timbers occupies an enviable position in Weybourne with uninterrupted views toward the sea, has ample off road parking and should make a fantastic base from which to explore the many attractions North Norfolk has to offer.

  However, what we found was a property in desperate need of some TLC. Immediately we noticed that the "Timbers" nameplate was on the floor rather than fixed to the wall as in the listing pictures and one of the steps up to the terrace was loose. On entry, we were greeted with a set of used wet towels from the previous occupants. There was no information folder so no instructions for the appliances, no recommendations on eating places or useful contact numbers etc.... Following is a list of items that need attention: Lounge: TV disappointingly small for this price point Very dusty in places eg on tops of storage heaters Bathroom Gaps under skirting boards need sealing Shower rail pulling out from wall Light pull cord needs replacing Door latch missing a screw from guide bracket Basin and bath plugs do not retain water Hot water from basin tap only trickles out Kitchen: No bin liners provided Not enough washing up liquid to last the week Not enough dinner plates for 6 people Many items of crockery chipped Bedroom: Mattress protectors worn out and stained. Decent clothes hangers in wardrobes required No pole for opening the Velux windows I note that many of the items listed above have been mentioned in previous reviews so it's very disappointing that no action seems to take place. In conclusion, I believe this property in its current condition is well overpriced, but despite all it's failings, it still has the potential for an enjoyable stay in Weybourne!

  At this price level the facilities were somewhat lacking.

  The general layout and use of available space was good but I would not recommend the property for very young children due to the number of steps in the property. This would be apparent from inspection of the photographs. It would be useful if a gate could be provided at the top of the access steps to make the decking area secure. Unfortunately lack of space meant there was no clothes dryer or dishwasher which would be expected at this rental level. The lower bedroom was also rather small. The internal decoration was tired and dog nail scratches were evident on the bedroom door. In the bathroom movement of the keys had worn off an area of paint below the keyhole and the flow of hot water was very slow. The rail supporting the shower head was insecure and requires repair. In the upper bedroom my daughter's sleep was interrupted by movement of something on the Velux type window which made a tapping noise when the wind was blowing. The major problem was the possiblity of mouse/rat infestation as mousetraps were present in the upper bedroom on the seaward side of the building. My daughter did not wish to move into this bedroom for this reason. It is a shame the items detailed above perhaps presented a somewhat negative situation as the owners had obviously made efforts with the Welcome package to make settling in as easy as possible and the exterior maintenance was very good. During our stay the windows were cleaned and the grass cut.

  Definitely NOT worthy of 4 tick rating and over-priced.

  Entire place needs a deep-clean and good maintenance check-up. Whilst kitchen was well equipped, some cupboards are musty, pots and pans and utensils are dirty so had to be washed before use. The bathroom is less than 2 star, dirty, poorly maintained, needs new toilet seat, shower rail and good repaint. Double bed... pillows and mattress protector were disgusting with yellow/brown stains. There is no information about anything (bins, parking, local area, equipment booklets, Guest Book) and please remove or replace the grubby books in the window. And finally... owners... please read and action Guest reviews as we're paying good money to stay in your property so expect better especially for a listed '4' tick rating... so for example previous guest mentions "who took the teaspoons?"... FOUR, yes there are just 4 mismatched teaspoons!!! One plus point... great location for beach and village!

  We stayed at the timbers as a family of 6.

  Stay was good overall however a few things need improving on in my opinion. First thing is amount of cutlery and plates etc. Not enough for a family of 6 and some were chipped and need replacing. Lot's of dust everywhere, especially on the heaters. Greasy hand prints on the tv. Beds upstairs sheets were stained and rubbish was left feom previous people, including ear plugs and an eye mask. Luckily there were screws under the tv so i could fix the bathroom door handle which kept falling off each use. A fly trap would be usefull as anytime a window was open loads of flies joined us. Biscuits and coffee was waiting upon arrival. A short 10 minute walk to the beach was nice and local bakery was nice also. The timbers did the job just about but we will look elsewhere next time as for the money we paid we feel we could do better on cleanliness etc.

  The cottage was really lovely.

  We thought the views and facilities were first class. The biscuits and milk were really appreciated, thank you. The location is superb, and lovely and quiet. There is a pub and local shop within minutes. (Both highly recommended). The beam on the floor, in the upstairs bedrooms took a bit of getting used to, but it was all right in the end. And this is just an observation:.. the hot water although extremely hot, only came out of the tap very slowly. The shower was very good though and as we are getting on a bit now, a rail to hold on to would help. However, these things were minor and we would definitely recommend Timbers as an excellent holiday home. 10/10 Thank you
