Guest Reviews
- Tanziha (10/5): -
- Brijesh (6/5): -
- Kellie (8/5): Comfortable and spacious - Near the coast
- Dianne (8/5): -
- Talullah (7/5): Good value for price. - We stayed in a 2 bedroom family unit, not a chalet. It was clean, comfy with all requirements met. Dated building but updated furnishings. Comfy beds, good shower. 5 mins drive up the coast from town centre but good bus service. Value for money. Thin towels.
- Kim (10/5): - Great location, spacious comfortable accommodation.
- Fred (9/5): - Location was ideal. Hosts definately added to the experience
- Zara (10/5): - The room was lovely..
- dunne (1/5): Very disappointing. Room old and musty and not proper two bedroom and had cockroaches - Location Room was old and musty . We had to ask for extra towels and help to get tv working. No milk provided in fridge for coffee. I was expecting two bedrooms but only one bedroom and one bed in room off loungeroom. We could have put up with it until we saw the cockroaches in room .. we counted ten ..one ran over my hand during the night and we checked our packets of breakfast goods that we were travelling with before we left and each found a cockroach in the bag .
- Selassiei (9/5): Good stay! Worth the money & view. Facilities are great would come again - The place the view and the room we were in room 15 and loved everything about it! The wifi was a bit slow but every other facility was working and amazing ! Even had a hot plate
- Benjamin (9/5): -
- Janet (8/5): -
- Ferro (7/5): It was ok - It was a bit more unusual and had a sea view. Otherwise it had all the facilities we needed. It would be helpful to have a table big enough for 2 people to eat at.
- Lois (7/5): - Nice and comfortable with great views and close to town.
- shirley (8/5): - Great Location🙂 Nothing
- Astrid (9/5): -
- Prabath (7/5): -
- Detlef (7/5): Als Unterkunft für Übernachtungen bei Erkundung der Coromandel-HI wegen der Lage gut geeignet. - + geräumige Unterkunft auch für vier Personen
+ Wohnräume rustikal eingerichtet, insgesamt sauber und gepflegt (Ausnahme Bad)
+ Parkmöglichkeit direkt an der Unterkunft
+ Stadt fußläufig in 30 bis 40 min erreichbar
+ wenige Meter entfernt, nur durch den SH von der Unterkunft getrennt, das Meer
+ günstige Lage als Ausgangspunkt zur Erkundung der Coromandel-HI + Dusche muss dringend erneuert werden, starker Schimmelbefall
+ Baddecke renovierungsbedürftig, massive Stockflecken
+ vermutlich als Ersatz aufgestellte Herdplatten waren sehr unsauber

- Robert (8/5): Excellent except for lukewarm shower. - We liked the location (it was very peaceful), the size of the room, and the kitchen facilities. We had a lot of trouble finding the sweet spot in the shower between cold and scalding hot.
- andre (6/5): - Sa situation Rez-de-chaussée et odeur humidité

- Durga (8/5): -
- Lena (7/5): Was a good night away from home - Location perfect overall had a nice evening didn't have breakfast Had no bad experience
- Linda (10/5): The bed was amazingly comfortable which is the most important aspect for us. - Location is great - close to Thames We did not get any milk for our unit and there was no hot chocolate (as there usually is in other accommodation we have bo) - not a major issue for us though.
- kelloway-tarrant (8/5): Clean and comfortable. - Clean and comfortable.

- michael (7/5): A great spot - Location, view, sunset Good but very dated needs an upgrade.The couch too soft. A very humid night and lack of air-conditioning made it uncomfortable. Overhead fan helped but not enough
- Charlton (6/5): - Location Needs some serious updating
- Joss K (9/5): Lovely, peaceful location on the outskirts of Thames - What a lovely location. From our balcony we could look out to the sea, or go out for a walk. Our chalet was clean, comfortable and roomy. Nothing I can think of. (Would have liked a box of tissues - not a biggie.)
- Rodney (5/5): Was passable. - Location was fine, across from the beach and close to town. Room smelt wet, bed was hard, did have an ironing board but no iron.
Could hear people walking around upstairs.
- Johanna (8/5): Prachtige ligging met fantastisch uitzicht. - Prachtig locatie, frontzeezicht vanuit terras en woonkamer. Verouderd sanitair, verouderd kookpitten, stoel was kapot
- Linda (8/5): - Good position Curtains in bathroom were quite dirty on the bottom,and we had no milk .
- Tony (10/5): -
- Jack (4/5): I would not stay here again. Very disappointing. - The accommodation was not as described and did not match the photos. Very misleading advertising. The cottage was not a cottage. The photo was of a far more modern building, but our accommodation was old and dated.

- Jess (10/5): Recommend - The room was clean and lovely, everything we needed
- Paul (7/5): - Close to thames. Amazing beach and oystercatcher birds.
- Michal (8/5): -
- Marine (10/5): Bonne adresse - Le staff répond rapidement et les Check in et out sont faciles.
L’appartement est propre. Il y avait de nombreux insectes dans l’appartement car la lumière avait été laissée avec les fenêtres ouvertes lorsque nous sommes arrivées de nuit.
- Michael (8/5): -
- Kevin (10/5): Good location for exploring the area - in a great location. very clean very clean but feeling a little tired
- Dianne (10/5): I’ll be back🤗 - Warm, clean, close to town, loved it. Nothing.
- Vanessa (9/5): -
- Anna (6/5): -
- Gerhard (6/5): - Betten weich, keine Dämmung zu Nachbarn
- Lydia (10/5): - Roomy, easy check in. Great value!
- Martin (5/5): - Pots dirty. Kitchen very outdated
- Colin (10/5): Great - Excellent location Nothing
- Richard (7/5): -
- Rosanna (8/5): Nice location, clean and tidy - Great location, views of the ocean from our room and idyllic grounds. We had a ground floor room which can be noisy with others moving around upstairs.
- Susan (10/5): -
- Belinda (8/5): -
- Chriss (7/5): Gateway to coromandel. - Handy location for what we wanted to do. Beautiful sunsets. Clean spacious rooms. Just needed jobs finished that had been started, like painting. Trees had gotten to big to see the sunset and ocean views. Car parking was a little difficult.
- Kerry (10/5): Perfect Place to Stay - The property is set in an adorable garden area with wonderful views of the bay, perfect for a sunset, which is what guests did in chairs provided in the lawn. The A-frame was perfect. Clean, comfortable, and delightful. I had breakfast in the porch and gazed at the bay in the evening. I found the place delightful and would book again on my next visit. Even its location just outside Thames was perfect as you have the quiet of being outside the town but convenience of its busy downtown just a short drive away.
- Sara (8/5): -
- Chandrika Lasanthi (10/5): -
- Jean-Andre (8/5): -
- Wendy (10/5): - Super logement face à la mer, bien équipé. Le spot est trop beau.
- Rob (7/5): -
- Janada Ward (10/5): - The location, great view of the ocean, great facilities The tv channels were limited to freeview only channels even though it's run through Sky. The tv couldn't Chromecast or Bluetooth.
I'd suggest upgrading to smart tvs which would save money in the long run as you don't need to pay for a subscription and the free to air apps are available through the smart tv and Wifi. Guests can log in to their own accounts during their stay or connect via BT/Chromecast. I could be seeing but something to look into.
- Katrina (9/5): - It’s quiet, comfortable and well located. The only thing we didn’t like were the stools at the dining table. They were too low and hard for my elderly mother to sit on.
- Susan (10/5): - The views and how close it was for where I needed to be
- Ravi (9/5): - Clean
- Ross (9/5): very very pleasant. - Great location and excellent facilities and room layout. Exceptional cleanliness and had all the amenities.
- Nancy (10/5): Loved the time spent there - Great location and roomy accommodation.
