The wet room is a useful feature, especially for those with mobility needs. While a few maintenance and cleanliness issues were noted, most guests found the bungalow cosy and well-suited for a relaxing seaside break.
Several guests noted minor cleaning issues, such as dirty utensils, chipped crockery, and the need to rewash items before use. Some also mentioned stained mattresses and odours from drains.

On the whole the holiday cottage was nice, the location was close enough to the beach to walk and very close to local buses. Some aspects of the property were tired tho and could do with some maintenance. Several glasses and mugs were chipped or cracked and were not that clean, needing to be washed before using. The fan in the main bedroom made noise but no air was circulated, the garden furniture was weathered and one chair had a crack in the seat. The outside conservatory door does not open which on such a hot week made the conservatory and sitting room pretty much unusable. There was no knife that was suitable for cutting bread. At the end of the stay we were asked to strip the beds. We did this but the sight of the stained mattress was not something I really wanted to see. The drains (kitchen sink and shower) absolutely stink when you first run water. All that said, over all the house was comfortable, in a convenient position and I would stay there again if I needed to be in the area, but I would take my own knife and hope the drains were fixed!

Loved Beach Bungalow. There was plenty of space overall, with the main bedroom having a divinely comfortable bed (although a little lower than we are used to]. A hairdryer would have been useful. The lounge was light & airy, & the conservatory was a bonus - additional seating in there would have been lovely. The kitchen / diner was huge, & having a dual aspect made it seem bigger still. The only complaint about the lovely kitchen would be the lack of equipment, ie, no colander, spatula, jug suitable for microwave use, & maybe a larger range of overproof dishes & extra saucepan lids.. The bathroom was good - one of the reasons for choosing Beach Bungalow was for the wet-room facility. The garden was a decent size, & had a weather been better we would have made more use of the comfortable patio furniture.
