Guests that stayed at this property said
The chalet received mixed feedback on cleanliness. While some guests found it clean and comfortable, others noted issues with dampness, cobwebs, and a need for a more thorough cleaning. The property seems well-kept for the most part, but there is room for improvement.
The location is well-regarded, with guests mentioning the ease of access to Hemsby, Great Yarmouth, and local beaches. The holiday park is described as well-maintained, contributing to a positive perception of the chalet's location.
Comfort levels are generally high, with guests finding the chalet cosy and well-equipped for their needs. Extra blankets, heaters, and a dog bed were appreciated, although there were some comments about the need for additional storage space in the kitchen and bathroom.
Facilities are mentioned positively in terms of the chalet being well-equipped and providing essentials. However, there are no specific reviews addressing the overall state of facilities and maintenance, so a score cannot be accurately provided.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, particularly regarding the welcome packs that include local cookies, bread, milk, and even dog treats. It's important to note that such gifts, while highly appreciated by guests, may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Resting in the seaside village of Newport, a settlement on the beautiful Norfolk coastline, lies this charming, two-bedroom holiday home, Chalet at Sundowners. Enjoying off-road parking, open-plan living, and with pubs and shops just a stone's throw away, this property is ideal for families seeking a fun-filled, self-catered coastal getaway. Step into your new home-from-home, and make yourself comfortable by setting up shop in the chalet's well-equipped kitchen area, where you and your loved ones can prepare delicious, home-cooked meals to be savoured at the dining table or even alfresco on the veranda when the sun is shining. In the evenings, relax by sticking a film on the TV in sitting area before retiring to one of two bedrooms, one of which contains a plush double where you can rest and recuperate ahead of a brand-new, exciting day. If you fancy exploring the local area, stock up on essentials at the Nisa Local, settle down for a pub lunch at The Lacon Arms, or grab a bag of fish and chips from The Frying Scotsman that you can enjoy on the lush sands of Newport Beach. For something for the whole family, enjoy a round of the golf at the Lost World Adventure Golf course, before setting off to delight in a day out at Hirsty's Family Fun Park, both spots within walking distance of your accommodation. A short drive south along the coast will bring you to Great Yarmouth, a town positively brimming with attractions, such as the National Trust landmark of Elizabethan House Museum, the Britannia Pier, Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, and Joyland Children's Fun Park, all of which can provide a day's worth of fun for children and parents alike. Whatever you choose to get up to during your stay, do it from the wonderful Chalet at Sundowners.
A seaside community called Newport can be found between Great Yarmouth and Winterton-On-Sea. The town is well-known for its excellent access to adjacent sandy beaches and has a variety of attractions, such as scenic walks along Hemsby Parish Walk and Norfolk Coastal Acorn Trail, as well as a fantastic neighbouring sandy beach. The Bell Public House and Tis Bar and Grill are two places to eat, and the adjoining convenience store is a good place to fill up on necessities. Great Yarmouth, a bustling community just outside of the city, offers a variety of additional activities and services, including a nearby golf course, restaurants, pubs, shops, and sandy beaches as well as walks along the River Yare.

We had a minor issue with lighting which was rectified swiftly with really good communication from the owners. The chalet had everything we needed for the weekend, the welcome pack was very much appreciated and a big bonus for us was having fuel included in the price so there was no worrying about having £1 coins for the meter which has caught us out when staying in other chalets in the area previously. Thank you for a lovely stay, weâve already booked to return in September :) Also thank you for the recommendation of the boat trip from Horning, I e really enjoyed that on Sunday.

First impression on entering the chalet was the smell of damp which wasnât great. The welcome pack was a nice addition with bread, milk, etc. this does seem to be pretty standard with privately owned accommodation. The chalet could do with a thorough clean, floors need mopping, cobwebs, bathroom needed attention, bath & floor not clean & sink loose, unsure why a cleaning cloth had been left crumpled in the corner of the bath. Rusty air freshener can, shampoo, etc. dispensers but didnât look particularly hygienic & a used handwash, if those items are provided would be better if they didnât look used. Rusty towel rack & bedding & towels smelt musty. Great to have an information booklet, but no mention in it that the switches for the hot water & shower are in the cupboard in the kitchen, wouldâve been helpful to have hot water on arrival rather than to find out late in the evening that we had to turn it on ourselves, likewise with the shower. Hot water in the bathroom sink barely a trickle. Property does feel slightly run down, curtains hanging off, screws not fully screwed in, paintwork could do with freshening up & the general feeling of dampness wasnât nice. Generally the chalet is lacking some TLC & was rather disappointing.

The owners had thought of everything. There was a welcome pack, tea, home made cookies (possibly the best we've ever tasted), milk, bread, butter, eggs and even treats for the dog! There was shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in the bathroom and washing up liquid in the kitchen. All beds had extra throws on them and there was more than enough towels provided for everyone. Even though we brought our own stuff with us, there was a dog bed, food and water bowls too. The owners really have made the chalet lovely and cosy. It was much better and nicer than I was expecting. We all had a great time. Thanks so much.
