  My whole family (22 in total - from old to young) stayed over bank holiday weekend.

  The villa was a street away from the beach and beautiful views!!! Literally a 15 minute walk away from the pier All rooms had working electric showers Heating was no issue at all Lovely kitchen for us to cook in (which we did A LOT OF being a typical Asian family!) Natalie was MORE than helpful in addressing any issues we had, always ready on call or message to solve any issues and bless her she even dropped some snacks off! We were welcomed with a lovely welcoming basket full of snacks already! Kids fell in love with the place we stuck them up in the second floor which had its own sitting room, games room with ps4, bathroom and a huge kingsize bedroom The layout of the villa Is like an intriguing maze, everyone had plenty of space to themselves, huge dining room area we could all sit as a family (18 people), baby cot and high chair was provided for the little ones, plenty of cutlery and dinner sets for the whole family and a perfectly working dish washer! Oh and there’s a utility room with extra fridges and freezers, washing machines and a dryer! Layout GROUND FLOOR - HUGE kitchen - dining room to seat 18 people - Two sitting rooms (next to each other) - double room (perfect for those who don’t like stairs) - utility room (behind sitting room) FIRST FLOOR (straight up the stairs) - double room - family room (double and single bed) - single room - twin room Then a wing to the right of the stairs, two steps down has a single and a double, and up another set of stairs (separate) some stairs another single and double SECOND FLOOR - large double room with Bathtub - kingside bedroom (no ensuit but it’s a massive room and right next to the bathroom) - bathroom with bathtub - games room with ps4 (which has a double and single sofa bed) Sitting/lounge room with nice sofa/lounge chairs All bedrooms have ensuite with showers or tub (mentioned above) EXCEPT for the kingsize room Definitely go for a walk through the Italian gardens, view the sunset in the morning, watch the stars at night as all street lights are turned off, we went for loads of midnight walks and felt very safe Lovely little town we’d love to visit again

  We stayed at Lonsdale villa for a 70th Birthday celebration.

  A family of 12 adults, 4 children and 2 dogs. The villa was very clean, cosy and spacious. We were welcomed with a lovely hamper full of treats, thank you to the owners for that. We had everything we needed in the well equipped kitchen to do our own cooking, pots, pans cutlery and glassware, loads of fridge/freezer space & kitchen cupboard space, it was lovely to come together in the kitchen sitting at the island whilst cooking etc to chat about our plans & put the world to rights! The lounge and snug worked well for us were well furnished and comfortable, we enjoyed doing our own quizzes and bingo at the lovely big dining room table. All the bedrooms were well equipped, spacious and comfortable with lots of storage and all have en suites, the kids made good use of the games room on the top floor, It was a bonus to have the hot tub in the enclosed private garden area, great to relax in and the kids loved it too. The location was perfect, a nice short walk to the lovely Italian gardens and about ten minutes walk down to the front, we felt very safe in the area even at night time. Great communication from Natalie throughout who was quick to respond when we had an enquiry and soon solved our request efficiently. My only suggestion & just a thought would be to have some picnic ware for using in the hot tub, maybe a mop would be handy too for wet feet when coming back through the kitchen area from the hot tub. We enjoyed our stay so much that we hope to make it an annual event as a family and would recommend without hesitation, great value for money, 10/10 all round, thank you.

  WOW! This house is amazing, absolutely perfect for our large family gathering.

  Our family of educators have been going to a house every October half term for the last 20 years and each year our family grows so we need bigger houses. This one is outstanding, with lots of rooms to spread out and find a bit of space and quiet if needed. It was super clean and very well equipped for all our cooking needs. The bedrooms were just right and beds comfy. As it was our 50th wedding year, we got the largest one with the lovely 4 poster bed! The park opposite was lovely too, great little pitch and putt which the kids loved and lots of wildlife. The boating lake was well used and a great little craft day was laid on by the council. The North beach was just a few minutes stroll and the South beach was a lovely walk along the sea prom or , if like me walking that far is difficult, the open top bus is always available. The miniature railway was also just a couple of minutes walk away and did a great Halloween ride. I would really struggle to find anything negative about this house, its facilities or location, but a couple of our party have hot tubs at home and suggested that chlorine tablets were needed as, after a couple of days, the water was a bit foggy, but I would imagine that would be dangerous if you were inexperienced with this. We will certainly return to this gorgeous place but our numbers are reducing as several of the grandchildren are now at university so a slightly smaller house next year! Thanks to everyone involved, the owners, the cleaners, Sykes etc. for making this such a special treat for us all.

  Overall a lovely holiday home.

  18 adults and children from our family stayed and had a lively time. There were some issues such as TV's not working (we wanted to watch some of the Olympic action occasionally), but we put this down to previous renters not telling Sykes' representatives. Found some dirty crockery on the shelves which was quite disappointing. Some - not all - found beds to be uncomfortable. For some reason a number of light bulbs kept blowing. These were all fairly minor problems but our biggest issues were with disposing of rubbish. 3 of the outside bins were full of rubbish on our arrival, one was emptied on the 6th day of our 7 day stay and 2 were not emptied at all. Obviously 18 people in one house does generate a lot of rubbish and the fact we couldn't easily dispose of it was really annoying. We informed Natalie, the Sykes rep, soon after problems were discovered and in fairness to her she was very much on the ball in getting them fixed and even with the bins I know she tried her best to get contractors to empty them but was let down by them. Please don't be put off by my negative comments as overall we very much enjoyed staying at Lonsdale Villa and of course the larger the property the ratio of minor faults will increase incrementally.

  We on the whole had a really nice stay and the cottage almost fully met our needs.

  The property had plenty of space and was very clean. It was well situated at the top of the cliffs with a fairly short walk down to the beach. for a group family get together it was brilliant. We would have given more for comfort and facilities but we had a few minor issues with some of the lights one which flickered all the time in the living room and one that only turned on if you pulled it at an exact angle, the toilet in the downstairs bed room. We went the shops to buy bigger cups and glasses as even thought there are loads they are really tiny which will have worked fine for a b and b but not so practical for people staying in groups. We also felt the property guide could have done with a bit more information in, especially with regards to how to prepare for departure. I do feel the listing is misleading with regards to parking, as it implies there is plenty of OFF ROAD parking and this is not the case. There is no off road parking and some of the near by roads apparently are permit only, although this may be seasonal as we saw no signs. This did not cause us a massive problem but did mean that cars were not parked within site of the property and I think this could be challenging in summer.
