Boycott House, Cromer, Norfolk

Excellent location right on the promenade and parking by the front door. The house and bathrooms were clean. Unusual layout, quite a few steps to haul your luggage up to the bedrooms. Main bathroom very large but unusual not to have a door with privacy glass. Bed was comfy. Few pointers to note: floorboards very noisy in main bedroom from next door property, so not ideal if children staying next door and up early! Could do with some clothes hooks in the ensuite. The drain in the ensuite shower gets blocked very easily and floods the bathroom, I had to clean this out myself. The main bedroom windows don't have stops on them, so can be fully opened which could be a hazard for falling out especially if you have young children. Main bathroom hand towel ring is not fitted properly and falling off. The patio area outside the kitchen is a bit of an eyesore. We had problems with the main front door lock, at one point we couldn't get out so had to use the top door. The doors are quite old and not very security safe, would have been nice to have a safe. The kitchen is nice, large table. I don't think the hob and ovens had been used as they appeared brand new. Took me time to figure out how to work them as we're not used to an induction hob, would have been helpful to have some instructions. All in all though we enjoyed our stay, and would recommend to others.

It was a lovely place to stay for a week, great location and easy to park. The property was very well kitted out and all the restaurants and cafe are a short walk away. Enjoyed the view from the main bedroom and Cromer is a nice place to spend a week. Especially recommend a visit to Blickling Hall. Only thing we couldn’t get to work was the electric hob but maybe that was simply my own incompetence with electric devices

Beautiful house, beautifully furnished and gorgeous spot. However….TV didn’t work, wasted a morning of our stay while engineer tried to fix it without success, he arrived 40 minutes late too. A wobbly toilet in front bedroom (reported), loose threshold in front bathroom too. There were about 5 dead big flies on the front bedroom window sill…. Over zealous parking wardens! (We received 2 parking tickets - first whilst we went indoors to fetch permit, second because we weren’t parked in bay correctly which we couldn’t because TV repair chap was parked in front of house!) House is very comfortable and well equipped - beautiful oven, though difficult to operate even with a manual. No oven gloves which is not safe. An instruction manual that has all the instructions in one place would be very helpful! Never been to a holiday home that doesn’t have one! So coffee machine (which is temperamental), dishwasher, heating we had to work out. The heater in the front bedroom is not controllable so we were boiling hot on first night then had to work out how to turn the heating for the whole house off for subsequent nights. However beds were beautifully comfortable with lovely bed linen and pillows. Showers and gorgeous bath were all lovely too. It is a lovely place for a break. Some teething problems to resolve
