What our customers say about their holidays

  While the location is excellent, it’s clear that the letting company only refurbished the main room and the rest of the flat is very dated.

  The kitchen is probably 20 years old but functional although the oven, which is horrendously cheap is totally useless….it took nearly 2 hours to roast some vegetables at full power. The bathroom is in desperate need of replacement, the Lino is grubby and the roof has odd yellow marks all over it, a lot of the furniture is corroded and the shower rail was lose when we were there so would quite often fall out of the braket…when looking at the folder in the flat, the gas safety cert had also expired in January! Other obvious problems is that the flat has a very obvious carpet moth infestation…they were everywhere and kept flying around in the evening …we had a 3 month old baby so didn’t really want someone turning up and randomly spraying chemicals around so didn’t report it . Is grim and it’s clear it’s been an issue for a while as there’s moth dust marks around the property Finally and probably the most annoying is the walls and floors are paper thin and the upstairs tenant doesn’t seem to care…on the Saturday we were there at 2am he decided to put his stereo on full blast and we had similar events through the week where you’d hear shouting and talking and much more (!) till the early hours.

  There are a lot of positives about this accommodation, we already know the area very well.

  It was clean, spacious, well positioned for views and amenities and the parking space was a bonus, as parking would have been difficult near the flat. I was a little concerned having read recent reviews, but the property was rated excellent , so we booked anyway. There was a concerning problem on our first night there, which I reported via the instructions left by the owner the following morning. I do not feel it was taken with any urgent regard to make our stay less stressful. The noise from the flat above us started around 10pm and continued to around 3am, every night. The oven in his self catering flat did not get warm, and the twin bedroom, despite the radiators being on was absolutely freezing, we had to go out and buy blankets. We have booked with Sykes many times, but the property is managed by Lyme Bay holidays . We would not book this flat again until the above concerns were dealt with. It’s a real shame.

  Lovely, comfortable, large and well-equipped apartment. Excellent location, amenities easily accessible within minutes, although a view over an Aldi carpark and a large building site is a compromise for such convenience of being so central. The alarm of the restaurant just underneath the bedroom windows going off at 11:30pm on the second night was rather unpleasant especially as it took about 15 minutes for the alarm to be turned off. I suppose this was just unlucky for us. Hot water tank runs out very quickly and unless the booster setting is then activated numerous times during the day, one would need to wait for the next day to have access to hot water, which is less than ideal on a holiday.

  We loved our stay at the apartment - it is in a great location as well as being comfortable and very clean. The kitchen is well equipped, the shower is powerful and the beds are comfy. It was exactly as shown in the photographs and it is the perfect base for exploring the local area. We enjoyed visits to Sidmouth, Lyme Regis, Exeter and Charmouth. The apartment has supermarkets, shops, cafes and pubs just a short walk away as well as attractions such as The Donkey Sanctuary and Beer Quarry an easy drive away. We would recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to stay in Seaton.

  Accommodation adequate but nothing special.

  TV kept switching itself on at random time including the middle of the night. Sheets and bathroom fine and clean but living area floor filthy upon arrival. Kids ware bathed and barefooted and within the hour their feet were filthy from the floor. Beds seemed fine until we stripped the beds before departure. Mattresses dirty. First night ok but then on second day evening it was really hot on the apartment as the radiators were on full. The place even smelt hot! Thermostat wasn’t working so had to turn rad valves to frost setting. Wouldn’t book again.
