What our customers say about their holidays

  Upon arrival the lodge seemed ok.

  It was on par with other lodges we've stayed in. However after being there a day we realised that there were a number of issues. The windows are extremely difficult to open and only one of us could open them. Particularly problematic in the bedrooms where (due to the hard mattresses and substandard pillows) we couldn't sleep. To compound that it was so stuffy in the night and we couldn't get the windows open. Very dangerous if there was a fire. The TV kept freezing every time a car or person went past. There was a sticky blue substance on the back of the bathroom door on arrival plus dog hair on two of the bedroom throws (more on this below). The bottom step to the lodge needs urgent attention as the side of it came off when my elderly mother came up the steps. It is a serious hazard. I wouldn't stay in this lodge again but would stay on the site as it's lovely. Since we came home we've now been charged £30 extra on our card for what they've called "excess dog hair". The lodge is advertised as dog friendly?? We spent two hours cleaning this lodge before we left and took photographs to support this. We are disgusted as the photos they sent to 'prove' this show white hair yet our dog is a short haired black lab?? Our dog was groomed before we came on holiday is is not a big moulter so we dispute this. Plus we used their hoover to vacuum the whole lodge before we left. We even stripped the beds for them and put the laundry in the bathroom. We are looking at our options regarding the £30 but would advise anyone with a dog not to use this lodge. We will not be booking again!

  The listing advertised the property as suitable for 6 people.

  Whilst the bedrooms had 2 double and 2 single beds, the downstairs accommodation could only barely accommodate 2 adults and 1 teenager. The photos definitely make it look bigger than it is. Misleading. The advertised trampoline was not there and the garden furniture was rotten and very unsafe. The games room was in poor condition with much of the equipment broken. All of the darts were broken so we only used the pool table. Access to the games room and garden was not child friendly at all and the rear entry point was a series of poorly maintained gates and doors that bordered on being dangerous. The bathroom window was broken and could not be closed. Whilst the accommodation was clean it was generally run down with much of the equipment needing to be replaced ie living room table leg was falling off, the kitchen knives had tips broken off. There was only 1 parking space available for the property which would not be ideal if you were booking for 6 guests. I would not recommend this accommodation for anyone with young children, the elderly, or anyone with mobility issues due to the amount of stairs and uneven floors and extremely poor lighting.

  When we arrived the lady said our keys in the door.

  Welcome pack of tea and coffee in the kitchen.The main problem we’re the stairs expecting a apartment on the ground floor.Both being elderly and my disability to climb Stairs very difficult falling up and down the stairs on several occasion as the whole apartment are stairs devideing bathroom and bedroom.Also I was not informed to take cleaning products or tea towelsDo they expect you to stay all week and not clean shower/bath or the cooker.There was nothing at all not Even a broom to sweep the floor.I did go and buy products to clean. As for lookout from the windows were onto a dirty motor home I mean dirty belonging to the person looking after the apartments.the other window looked out Onto neighbouring cars.as for the garden the lady did not tell us about keys To get into the garden going through a shed,this was informed to us on the Thursday from another disgruntled person Very disappointing shall put a Red Cross against this holiday

  A beautiful roomy cottage and well equipped.

  The large double bedroom was amazingly comfortable with lots of light, space and views to an outside seating area. Just a yellow stain on one of the pillow protectors which was noticed when taking off the bedding. It seemed like the bedding had been put on in a hurry as pillows were not fully in the pillow cases and duvet covers left open at the bottom but we quickly sorted this ourselves. The dishwasher had been left full of dirty dishes which again we quickly sorted. Overall cottage could have been a little cleaner - dirt in corners and a sticky kitchen floor, but bathrooms were all very clean. Fridge smelled of bleach so we wiped it out again to ensure no traces of bleach near food. We couldn’t work out how to get the usual channels on the TV BBC etc and couldn’t find any instructions but it didn’t spoil our holiday and not big TV watchers. The cottage is in a beautiful location and made for a very enjoyable holiday.

  What an absolutely wonderful place to stay.

  I’ve been visiting the area for a number of years (in excess of 30) and this was my most favourite place to stay. The parking bay in front of the house was a huge benefit. The surrounding garden area - well maintained and tidy. Keysafe use - easy Interior was pleasantly furnished. Sofas comfortable. Well stocked kitchen - we wanted for nothing. The milk and snacks were a very welcome surprise - thank you. Bedrooms were comfortable for all guests. Skylight would benefit from a blind if you’re light sensitive - that said I slept the best I have in a long time. Bathroom was lovely. The entire place was spotless clean - thank you Teresa. Pub and shop across the road were really handy. 5 min stroll to beach and also to the delightful Tea room. 10min drive to Tesco. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or stay again. Thank you sharing your home. We absolutely loved our time
