Strandview Ground Floor Beach Apartment

Location, price and overall size of the property

Decor could be doing with being updated, but for price paid. Excellent

The location, space and cleanliness

Nothing! The only things it lacked in the kitchen were some sharp knives and a pair of scissors

The location of the property

Poor communication: Took 2 emails and one phone call to get the lock box number. Then there was no key in it. Had to wait for the cleaner to arrive with hers. Poor cleanliness: Mouldy dishes left in the dishwasher. Dead spider in the microwave Dusty surfaces. Mildew behind the bed headboard. Heavily stained mattress. Broken furniture; Slats missing from the bed Bedroom drawers broken

Get place with just a minute walk until you’re at the seafront.

The location was very close to the harbour.

Location and size for 4 people

On arrival, the key box code was blocked … I rang the owner, to assist us with this, however with great force it was released …the key ring holder had jammed inside the box.. No coat rails to hang wet jackets . Front bedroom.. chest of doors jammed, didn’t use these as we were afraid of them falling apart. Coats were hung on doors, shutters, No toilet roll holders..in either bathroom. Toilet seat broken. Ceramic tea pot was broken. Two patios ,unusable as the decking is very unsafe looking. Other users have already reported this in 2022 reviews. The cleaner didn’t check the cupboards before we arrived as there were crumbs in one of them.. One bath mat between 2 bathrooms… Nice to have off street parking ,, however far too tight for 2 cars like advertised. Bring everything.. toilet rolls. Tea,, Coffee etc..

Great location. There is plenty of space in the property. Comfortable for four people. Great kitchen facilities. Clean.

We didn’t receive the key press number in advance and had to wait outside until the owner returned our call to get in. The shower in the main bathroom needs a new hose as this leaked and it was a bit tricky that you couldn’t shower in either bathroom if any other water was running (don’t expect there is much you can do about that!). The upstairs patio furniture is very worn.

Great location just by beach and shop,two pubs down the road, balcony in main bedroom

Outside sitting decking look in bad condition

The location of the property is ideal and I imagine when it was first renovated it was lovely but the property is not being cleaned or managed properly and as a result is dirty and damp and the outdoor areas are damaged and not suitable for guests.

The lack of basic hygiene, mildew and broken beds mostly. A child’s pyjamas, cobwebs, dust and a page with a child’s marker drawing (colours had run on the page due to dampness and age) was found under the mattress. The reason I looked was that when I sat on the end of the bed to put on my socks, the mattress collapsed under me. Turns out the bed frame was broken and missing 2 end lats!! There was also mildew on the inside bed frame and cobwebs all over. The en-suite was disgusting - coffee stains from previous guests, broken tiles, black mould in the grout some sort of grotesque yellow substance on the tiles around the toilet. The smell of damp in the living area when we put on the heat was awful so we didn’t spend long there without the door wide open. The single bed by the window seems to have only a solid midsection and had no mattress support other than a FIBC-type canvas covering, very peculiar and uncomfortable for my daughter who can usually sleep anywhere! On stripping the bed, we saw that the pillows were the ld and stained also. Coffee stains on all the cups, the plates weren’t properly washed either as there were greasy fingerprints on them and 2 bowls had dried in cornflakes stuck to them. I washed everything in the cupboards because we had bought food in M&S on our way up intending to cook meals and have family time. Unfortunately the oven was also filthy, the baking and grill trays had burned in grease which I was unable to get clean. In the end we are out and kept doors and windows open to air the place as much as possible as we could. I suspect that the place was left unheated over the winter months and only the linen and towels were changed prior to our arrival (they were the only things not to smell musty. We avoided the outdoor areas the “courtyard view” is a car park! The outdoor seated area needs cleaning the timbers are rotting and need replacement and some of the concrete step is broken.
