Close to the beach

We chose the apartment because of its location, which was ideal for us, and the on-site parking. A bonus was that we had a ground floor apartment, so moving luggage was easy. The key box system works well. There is a clothes washer/ dryer in the kitchen, also a dishwasher. Both useful features. The apartment is spacious with plenty of room for the two of us. Communication with the hosts was good, and they seem willing to accept constructive suggestions for improvement.

The weather was very cold for most of our stay, and the storage heaters in the apartment were on a lowish-medium setting when we arrived. The duvet on the bed was summer weight, so our first night was cold. No cafetiere in the kitchen and the hob would not turn on. The hosts promised to rectify both issues (blanket and cafetiere) but needed prompting on our first evening as nothing happened during the day. The person who arrived mid morning on our second day showed us how to get around the permanent child-lock on the hob, and also brought the much-needed blanket and cafetiere. While the window in the bedroom (looking onto the main road and the parking) has a diffuse screen providing privacy, and the kitchen has a roller blind for the same reason, there is no equivalent in the sitting room, which meant that we kept the curtains drawn for the whole of our stay when we were in the apartment. There is no guide as to how to use the Smart TV properly, so it was trial and error until we found the channels we wanted to view. The large sofa in the sitting room is well past its best, with an uncomfortably severe sag in the seat. The huge shower space (takes up the whole width of one wall) had no non-slip mat. The hosts say they will rectify this. Generally, there is a lack of surfaces or shelves to put things on, especially in the bathrom and bedroom. There is only one table in the sitting/ dining area. While it is adequate for 2 people (just) it would be far too small for 4. We are not clear what the 'work desk' in the apartment description refers to. There is no small table at the sofa to put things on, especially glasses with drinks - makes spillages more likely. There is only one overhead light in the kitchen which makes food preparation difficult. The parking bays are extremely tight, and we had to move the car out on 2 occasions to give other guests room to enter their cars.

Location, parking

WiFi is terrible and not as advertised. Lack of storage space both in the kitchen and bedrooms.

We stayed for 2 weeks in January 2025. Good location for the beach. Off road Parking outside. Nice and warm.

Photos on the advert were out of date, so no bath as in the photoit had been replaced with a shower. The sofa was old, worn, and very uncomfortable. We were there for 2 weeks, so this is a long stay feedback. It was also not very clean on arrival. I was forced to call the site manager, and she was hard to understand on the phone, being that her first language was not English. There was parking at the front of the building, but it was so tight that you were forced to drive forward into the road to allow any passengers to get in and out of the car. There is a bus stop right outside the property, so that can be noisy at times. The Smart TV was not that smart. It didn't have Netflix, and only ITV, BBC1 & BBC2, and a few other channels, nothing much good. The WiFi was free if and when you could get it. And we were there for 2 weeks in January 2025, and the building was not that busy, so I'm not sure what the WiFi would be like in the summer months with all the apartments rented out.

That was spacious, ground floor perfect for a buggy and a quiet area.

Just couldn’t log into the WiFi

Good location and fully usable kitchen

Could hear the other guest in and out until late at night and could smell weed smoke from the other rooms
