Host Stay Sea Watcher

More than one key would have made life easier

The apartment was lovely, the only niggle was the stairs. Really clean and nice. Beds were very comfortable. Brilliant view and telescope to watch what was going off in the sea. Definitely recommend but may need to be more informed about the stairs

Stairs

It was a brilliant location overlooking the sea, and access to the beach. 3 couples and all had double bedrooms and separate bathrooms. Easy to walk into the town.

It was on the 4th Floor so lots of stairs.

comfortable, good views, towels, bedding ok, everything you would need.

no welcome pack, no car park scratch card left. one bedrooms very dusty, window sill and mirror needed cleaning. Tripod on telescope broken, window blinds in one room need looking at. couldn’t use cooker hob. we managed as we ate out each day. scratch card arrived during second day.

pleasing to the eye and great sea views

issue with the toilet seat. didn’t know it was 4 floors up otherwise wouldn’t of booked as one traveller was 80

This property is well located and it was spacious - ideal for 3 travellers. Relatively clean (with a few cobwebs) and tidy. Be warned: two coffee-makers are broken although all else worked fine.

I had an awful experience with the company that manages this property, it was like Ryanair of holiday lettings. There name is Host & Stay, and scarily. First, they took the whole payment in advance (despite what booking.com said of part payment and full balance on arrival); they refused to refund part of the payment despite putting me in arrears on my credit card; then two weeks before staying at the property they demanded more money and threatened cancellation. Apparently I was meant to either pay £250 deposit and £10 non-refundable fee for processing it; or £25 non-refundable fee (to ensure the property but without this being an insurance !). This is outrageous and in fact felt like a scam - one is forced to pay it in the last minute as you cannot find another place to stay that late in the process. Every business should cover for their expenses and if this is a property management one this fee should be covered by them - or this should be advertised in advance! This somewhat spoiled the experience - in addition to the many emails and texts I was received before, during and after my stay. I had to block their number on my phone to stop the invasive messaging. In addition, when I asked about the coffee maker at the property - I got no information, despite the many massages from Host & Stay asking if I needed help. It turned out both coffee makers were broken and I lost money on capsules and coffee etc. Checkout was way to early, 10am, and I was getting aggressive messages from 9am about having to leave on time! No way one can leave luggage there for the day either. This is a company I will make sure to avoid in future. Utterly unpleasant experience!

beautiful sea view

Great location, great view (3rd floor) and warm apartment. Parking on the street was free at this time of the year (Oct to March), but also scratch card for W zone parking was supplied. Easy to walk to town, Abbey, pier or beach.

If you either go to restaurant or get take away every meal, it's perfect. However if you want to cook, you need your own oil, condiment, etc. No frying pan either. The front door wasn't opening with the code for the last 1.5 days. Called the number provided but no help there.
