Pebble House (Goring-by-Sea)

Great location, easy parking right next to the house, house was comfortable and had everything we needed

Nothing

We had a wonderful stay at this house and would definitely recommend it. The house is beautifully furnished, very spacious, and the rooms are bright and welcoming. The location is perfect – it only takes about two minutes to walk to the beach, which we absolutely loved. The house is very well equipped. Everything we needed was available, especially the fully equipped kitchen, which we really appreciated. There was also a washing machine, dryer, iron, and ironing board – everything you could possibly need during your stay. The beds were very comfortable, and the house was warm and cosy. The area is relatively quiet, which made it easy to relax. The house was very clean, which made us feel comfortable right away. There are also several shops within walking distance, which is very convenient. Parking for one car is available directly in front of the house. Check-in and check-out were very easy and uncomplicated. The Wi-Fi was stable and worked well throughout our stay. The bathrooms are modern and a good size for a holiday home. There are three toilets, one bathroom with a shower, and another one with a bathtub. The water pressure was absolutely sufficient. It is very family-friendly as well, with games provided, which was a nice touch. We also had a small issue during our stay, and the contact with the host was excellent – very friendly and incredibly quick to respond and resolve the problem. Overall, we had a great experience and would happily stay here again.

The location is only 2 mins walk to a quiet beach.. The house is a good size with everything. you need for a short stay.. The house was tidy and decorated nicely. Things were easy to find as they were labelled. The TV was nice and the sofa and chairs were very comfortable with a nice table.. It was easy to get the keys and check in..

It looks like a deep clean is needed especially with the sofas and the living room mat. The place certainly isn't dirty but it's grubby in places. The bunk bed upstairs had a lump digging into my son, and it dipped down. it desperately needs a new mattress. He had a very bad night's sleep. The other beds were ok though. The towels provided are old and thin so it may be best to bring your own .We bought our dog with us. She is small and non shedding. .When we arrived there were signs on the wall saying dogs are not allowed upstairs. This had not been mentioned when we booked.. Dogs had to stay behind the stair gate. So I had to stay downstairs with her all night on the sofa or she would have barked and got upset ( and woken the neighbours!) , as at home she sleeps in my room. Most dogs would find it hard to be left downstairs away from everyone in a strange place to be honest. Had this been explained on the booking site I would not have booked..Therefore we had to leave and not stay for the second night we'd paid for.

Location is great near the seafront and close to town. House has a lovely layout. Nice back yard which would be nice in summer. Could do with a spruce up, some new towels and a deep clean would be good as it’s looking a bit tired but this didn’t detract from our stay. Good communication

Slightly grubby in places

Very comfortable house to stay with a family. Spacious and all facilities needed. Personalised travel tips from the owner.

Neighbourhood is quiet and not very vibrant, though a bus stop is nearby!

The only good thing about this squalid, filthy property was the location close to the beach.

The owner finally responded after we contacted Booking.com. He was already aware that as the sheets provided were stained and had a lot of long dark hair on them, we’d had to borrow bedlinen from the friends we’d come to visit. If you change sheets you see mattress protectors and the one on the main bed had large stains on it. Glasses and cutlery were dirty and kitchen drawers were full of crumbs and debris. We see that he now agrees that the toilets needed cleaning when in an email to us he had described this as “minor shortcomings in the standard of housekeeping”. There was nothing minor about the fact all three toilets were filthy with rims, bowls and lids speckled with excrement. He suggested that we could have used the cleaning materials he provided or we could request that if the housekeeper re-visited the property it “would have had the added benefit of demonstrating where they may be falling short”. The owner knew that our friends needed to visit us before he would have arranged for the housekeeper to visit. By then we had already had to change the bedlinen and carefully clean everything in the house as one of them is being treated for cancer, so such a visit would have been pointless. We think it is entirely reasonable to expect that a cottage should be clean and usable before, not after, arrival. If an owner and cleaner share the same low standards of cleanliness that isn’t going to happen. Even if a proper cleaner were to be hired, it wouldn’t solve the problem of the grimy and sticky lounge furniture when we had to cover with a throw, borrowed again from our friends.

Pebble House ligt in een rustig doodlopend straatje vlak bij de zee. Je kunt hier eenvoudig heenwandelen. Verder zijn alle faciliteiten in ruime mate aanwezig en is het huis keurig schoon. Kamers en badkamers zijn netjes. Letterlijke een thuis van huis. Worthing ligt verder goed centraal in de omgeving en andere satdjes en bezienswaardigheden zijn goed bereikbaar. Binnen Worthing zijn er voldoende voorzieningen in de zin van supermarkten en horeca.

Worthing zelf is niet bijzonder, maar is heel goed als uitvalsbasis. Pebble House maakt een hoop goed.

Ideally situated

Nice spacious rooms

Kettle was abit old and worn so could do with replacing and some equipment dated.
