The Beehive - Self Contained Studio by The Sea

Walking distance to beach and town Well equipped and homely with nice personal touches Good parking and friendly host.

During the warmer summer months swapping out the heavy winter duvet for a lightweight summer duvet would make sleeping better. Shower / toilet door needs adjustment as does not close properly.

The property was easy to find and matched the description perfectly. Having all of the streaming services set up and ready to go was well done. WiFi was very good. The nice honey smelling hand-wash and bath gel was amazing! The location is good with a 10-15 minute walk down to the beach and a little longer into town. It's on a main road with very regular buses which is excellent! Complimentary milk, coffee and biscuits was a nice touch. I think overall the property is very good value for money and perfect when you're staying a few nights.

No major complaints but there are a few things to note. Being attached to the owners house, it is definitely a noisy stay and you can hear running around, door slams, etc. Although things seemed to quieten down by 11pm. The fridge also seems overly noisy, I don't know if its on the way out but it makes some kind of processing noise every 10 minutes or so. The bathroom door not closing properly also feels kind of odd, a different handle would surely mean it can be closed properly? One or two others have posted about the shower, and there's definitely something unusual about it. It is on the hot side and even if you tilt it fully towards the cold, it's never actually cold. I don't have any issue with the TV size, it was as advertised after all, but I do wonder if there could be a solution where it's at the end of the bed as that would be amazing! The biggest problem I had was I got absolutely soaked on the Thursday morning running and I couldn't get my clothes to dry no matter where I put them! I don't really know what the host can do here, and I'd be interested to see what usually happens in the winter months where I expect that's more of a problem.

Very well equipped and tastefully decorated. Walkable to town centre and beach.

Despite it being June the studio became chilly in the evening as it was on the main house heating . The host's instructions did tell us about an electric heater which we would have used but felt it was quite late in the evening by that time. However that was our mistake. We would use it another time.

It was stylish and comfortable and had everything you needed. With very thoughtful little touches like fresh flowers, milk and biscuits, tea and coffee. Hot powerful shower and a very comfy matress

A beautifully presented compact studio that had everything we needed for our short stay. It was in a quiet neighbourhood, only a short walk from the beach.
