Host & Stay | The Nave — Guest Reviews

The Nave was a great place for a few days break between Christmas and New Year for us and our little boy. The location, close to the seafront, was charming, and the accomodation itself was full of interesting nooks and crannies linking it back to it's past use as a chapel. The host was very responsive and had lots of helpful suggestions for what to see, do and eat in the local area. We also really appreciated the little welcoming gifts of tea, coffee, biacuits, bread and jam!

The former chapel is a lovely building and has been well converted. All the rooms were clean, the beds comfortable and it was quiet. The kitchen was well equipped. Throughout there were attractive old British Rail prints. What really let it down for us was the lack of a downstairs shower. As my husband finds stairs a bit difficult I checked before booking and was assured there was a shower downstairs. Unfortunately it was capped off. A minor annoyance was, despite the listing saying there was shampoo/conditioner there was only hand soap. Also a very large dining table but only three chairs. The neighbourhood is ok but s quite a long way from the town restaurants and the beach.

I booked this accommodation on behalf of colleagues working in the area, and it turned out to be a great fit. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Communication with the host was smooth and responsive throughout the booking and stay. My colleagues were very happy with the experience, and I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a reliable and pleasant stay in the area.

Good property, terrible area and didn't feel safe in Yarmouth. Negative: The property was fine and good value for money with a dedicated parking at the rear. However, it's was the surrounding area that was the issue. Very built up and run down. As for near by Yarmouth, that was even worse. We didn't feel safe there at all and although we paid for 9 nights we left after one night and went to Cromer. So much better.

A beautiful place to stay, some great features to the property. Perfect descriptions and plenty of utilities. Nicely furnished and presented. Needs a little love in the bathrooms. Would have been nice if there were Christmas decorations since we stayed for Christmas Day and the festive period. Good communication and booking and instructions easy to follow.

Excellent stay at the Nave , looks great on the photos and doesn’t disappoint when you stay,highly recommended

Lovely place to stay. It's an old chapel so is really original and interesting. The property is clean and has everything you could need. It's really handy for local high street, amenities and public transport.

We had a great stay in 'The Nave'. It was centrally positioned for getting around Gorleston, Great Yarmouth and Norwich. It was well stocked with everything we needed. There was even a welcome pack to start us off. There was a car park space allocated to us. It was clean, tidy and we enjoyed our stay immensely.

Arrived to a bad first impression-the main door and surrounding area was covered in old cobwebs. Place was tidy but needed a deep clean - streaky mirrors and tv, cobwebs on inside of upstairs bedroom windows! Unable to open living room window so no ventilation. Was assured there were 2 showers but there wasn’t (I asked because a previous review said there was only 1 ). Couldn’t use dishwasher due to unpleasant smell. However a new ironing board was replaced quickly as the old one collapsed on first use, though the old one was left behind!

Hosts were vey helpful and accomadating, flat was lovely and had a brilliant character. Def stay here again.

Loved the charm and character plus probably the most well equipped self catering place I have ever stayed. Great private parking with easy parking on street too.

Very comfortable stay. Plenty of space and well equipped. Essentials provided for us on arrival and welcome notes. The converted chapel has been made into a cosy place, maintaining its character. We really enjoyed our stay.

This is such a lovely find, lovely features kept from when the property was a chapel (wood carvings, stain glass windows, wooden beams). Everything you could need for a relaxing stay. Places in Gorleston are walkable, bus easy to get to Great Yarmouth. This place does have wooden steps to both floors, the only shower is on the top floor. Bathroom on ground floor has fixtures for a shower but nothing connected. Overall we had a lovely few days stay.

Lovely space, everything we needed for our stay. The off-street parking was definitely a bonus in a busy area. Lovely to be provided with breakfast making ingredients, saved us the worry of finding local shops. Beds were comfy and the bathrooms were great. Would definitely stay with Host & Stay again.

Great little place, bonus was having designated parking. Loved the fact we had tea,milk, bread and butter from the host. All communication has been friendly and knowledgeable.

Great house and location

Beautiful place to stay. Will definitely be using again when we return

Flawless

In short we stayed two nights out of 5 then vacated the property and sought alternstive accommodation st our expense Positive: Looking on line it caught my eye as a quirky place to stay in a converted chapel. Negative: The whole property in need of a Deep clean dusty and dirty not been cleaned in a long time. I spoke to the owner and his reaction was we all have different cleaning standards. There was no shower over the bath in the downstairs bathroom the fittings was there but no shower head. Had to go to top floor for a shower. Cobwebs on the key box and front door name plate and knocker, weeds outside had been sprayed and left looking dead. Food was left in freezer from either a previous guest or the owner inside the fridge residues of bits of food and dirty. Bedroom downstairs dust everywhere, long black hair on back of bedside lamp. Hoover, bucket and mop in coronary where you are supposed to hang your clothes. Kitchen bin filthy inside and out, bathroom bin rusty and no bag or bucket in it should breathing away and replaced.

Nice place to stay

Overall a lovely accommodation.

Positive: Very quaint Negative: The next door neighbour had a small dog that barked constantly, day and night.. Could hear it through the walls...drove me mad.

We had a nice few days at The Nave. An interesting property to stay in. Parking place - brilliant. Well equipped. Bit cobwebby when we were there but definitely not grubby. Good location. We liked it.

would of been ok if it had been clean. Positive: nothing. Negative: Dirty property.
