We had a fantastic Christmas at The Sands. It was a beautiful apartment & had every single thing you could want. It was spacious & very clean. The owners had even put a tree up & left us a lovely welcome pack of wine & chocolates. So thoughtful. We can't walk far with mobility issues but we had a lovely view of the sea. The car parking wasn't far at all as it was behind the apartment around the back so we didn't struggle to unpack etc. Shops were also nearby which was a bonus. It was the perfect place for us & I highly recommend it.

A quality property every item from kitchen to bathroom to bedroom top class and it certainly makes for a great comfortable home from home experience. The location is as good as it could be, looking over a green to the sea and right near Spanish City where reside the best fish and chips (trenchers) and the best cake and afternoon tea Patisserie Valerie. Good parking in private area at the back. The beds are very comfortable. The shower and bath are modern and everything works well, infinite hot water and a luxury towel in a heated rail when you step out. Honestly would go back like a flash.
