This was a wonderful flat - we loved the look of it.. It had everything that we needed. Brilliant location. We would definitely stay there again.

We had a wonderful week in Norfolk and the weather proved to be our friend throughout, mostly raining after dark and dry during the days.. With regard to the accommodation there were both good points and some not so good. Having a private parking space proved most useful as on most evenings there was no available parking directly outside the property. The sitting room was cozy and a very good size with a view towards the sea, the Kitchen Diner likewise was also well proportioned and the bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom however was quite tight and the sink was very small. However given its position within the property there is little that could be done to enlarge it. Overall the flat was quite tired looking and would benefit from a redecoration but in view of the condition of the communal corridor and staircase, which were very unwelcoming and in need of a complete overhaul, I guess that the expense would not be justified.

Perfect!! The owners really have thought of everything, we stayed over Christmas, the flat was decorated and felt festive, they even put a gift for our children under the tree . The welcome pack was great and we really appreciated the milk and tea bags after a long drive. The flat really had everything you need, we cooked Christmas dinner without missing anything from home. They have everything covered. The beds are lovely and comfy. I can't say enough good things. We will defo be booking again soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Westgate Retreat last week.. The flat was very clean, light and comfortable with lovely soft towels and a well stocked kitchen. We used the parking on the road immediately outside which was very convenient. There are 2 supermarkets within a 10 minute walk of the flat, various places to eat and a fabulous fabric shop directly opposite. We enjoyed the coast and cliff walk to Old Hunstanton with its large gift/antique shop, beach huts in the dunes and pubs. This was a lovely cosy place to stay for a bright but chilly autumn week!

The settee and all chairs are all very low comfy but very difficult to get out of

Sykes have been brilliant, love the fact you can pay a small deposit and then had six months before paying the balance.. Loved having an unexpected £25 marks and Spencer’s voucher as a gift. Very informative with emails all went very smoothly. Would definitely book through Sykes again and have already recommended to friends and family. Many thanks we had a great holiday.

Ground floor entrance decorating and cleaning up .. and the flat is in need of decorating throughout , bathroom in particular.

Miss Smith, August 2019

Very well appointed apartment in great central location.. Caring owners provide a welcome pack and send a friendly email prior to arrival which is much appreciated. Our only problem was manouvering our car in and out of the very tight parking space at the rear of the property. There is limited on road parking at front of property but this was hardly ever available during our stay.

Mr Lawrence, July 2019

The facilities were nice with all of the home comforts.. The location is ideal for the towns amenities, we went during school term so things were nice and quiet for our stress free break. Hunstanton was nice, there was plenty of places to eat and be merry.

Just a five minute walk to Tesco and Sainsbury's The apartment has everything you need, a real home from home.. And best of all Hunstanton.

Mr Clarke

March 2019

Lovely welcome from the hosts, very (very) well equipped apartment and a super location and view from the lounge window.. Friendly neighbours below, and communal external small garden area through which the useful off road parking is accessed. Entrance hallway in urgent need of some tlc and repair but probably this is some one else's responsibility as it is in stark contrast to the actual lovely apartment.

Mr Newton

December 2018

A super flat within walking distance of all amenities with off street parking at the rear.. Many an hour spent in the front window at first floor level looking out to sea and watching the world go by. The flat is well stocked with all that is needed for self catering. We were there in the winter with very good heating that kept the place warm.Recommended

Mr Sharratt

November 2018

Great location, you can park the car up for the duration as all shops and eateries are within a few minutes walk.. A must visit is "Mr Bun" bakery on the high street for fresh bread & cakes yummy. The only downside is the grubby hallway and steep stairs to the 1st floor but once inside everything is brill. Our daughter came to see us and said that she loved it and would buy it if was nearer home

Mr Thompson

Excellent base for exploring the north norfolk coast

Mr Quast

Of course it's the coast, the cliff, the sea, the sunset, the beaches - and then to come home in the evening to a flat as caringly and cosily and tastefully designed as this, sit in the couch and hear the wind and the seagull puts the icing on the cake of every single day.. Though it's not home, it feels like it.

Mrs Kitching

September 2018

West gate retreat was excellent very comfy bed and sofas .. Plenty of space a real home from home.Very well positioned so close to the sea and shops. Would recommend to friends and family. Just one criticism is that the stairs and hallway up to the flat would give a much better first impression with a good clean and a lick of fresh paint but everything inside flat was brilliant thankyou.

Ms Ray

Welcome basket was much appreciated.. Apartment had everything we needed and the quirkyness was delightful. Location was new to us and we enjoyed all the lovely beaches and nearby villages, great base for day visits. Hunstanton was lovely and plenty of places to eat and drink, would recommend any one to visit and take time in Norfolk.

Mr Parker

August 2018

The house was better than we expected and had everything we needed the only downer on the holiday was the owner turning up to clean the house the day before I expected to leave but after checking emails it turned out it was my mistake anyway and he was very understanding and gave us as long as we needed to pack and get out.. Very pleasant and for more conciderate than he needed to be we would definitely go back again

Mr Mitchell

It was one of the best holidays and made more memorable by the amazing flat.. We had everything we needed, and more! Quirky decor and a really lovely modern, yet cosy feel to it. Nice personalised little touches. We were so close to the shops, seaside and attractions we hardly used the car. Would be back for sure.

Mr Russell

July 2018

Friendly and caring owners are clearly evident.. A very well appointed flat in a superb location with a sea view.

Miss Swindells

June 2018

Excellent position in a lovely seaside town.. The flat is beautiful & really well equipped. I wouldn’t, however, recommend it to anyone who’s not good with stairs, as the flight to the first floor is very steep.

Mrs Toft

Spacious apartment in excellent location.. Could see the sun sets from the lounge window.

Mrs Grief

September 2016

Loved location The parking at the rear was not very easy due to the parked cars everywhere.. The space was suitable for our car but a bigger car would have been a problem.

Mrs Eccles, September 2016

August 2016

This holiday was our first family holiday/honeymoon and we really couldn't asked for anything better.. The flat was exceptional with everything you could want, the only thing it did lack was WiFi. It is a brilliant location with a lovely view. We enjoyed sitting in the bay window in the evening and watching the sun set. We really liked the welcome basket and our children loved spending the 2p's in the arcades. It is certainly on our list for a return visit.

Ms Brookes

The flat was luxurious, we were spoilt by the décor, furnishings and the view.
