Guests say
Fisherman's Friend offers a spacious, well-located apartment just steps from the seafront, making it an ideal base for beach lovers and walkers. Guests consistently praise the comfortable beds, large kitchen, and ample living space. While the property is generally cosy and well-equipped, some areas would benefit from a deep clean and minor maintenance. The location is peaceful yet convenient for town amenities. Overall, it provides excellent value for money and a welcoming atmosphere, with many guests returning for repeat stays.
Cleanliness is generally acceptable, with fresh linen and towels provided, but several guests mention the need for a deep clean, particularly regarding pet hair, windows, and the oven. Cleanliness appears to decline later in the season.
The location is highly praised, being right on the seafront and within easy walking distance of the town centre and local amenities. Guests love the proximity to the beach and the peaceful surroundings.
Guests find the apartment spacious and the beds exceptionally comfortable. Some mention that the lounge furniture is low for older guests, but overall comfort is a strong point.
Facilities are generally good, with a large kitchen and ample space, but some maintenance issues recur, such as dripping taps, broken fridge shelves, and depleted crockery. Minor updates and repairs would enhance the experience.
While some guests recall welcome packs at other properties, this is not consistently provided here and cannot be guaranteed. There is a lack of small touches such as labelled keys, a guest handbook, or basic kitchen supplies, though the property is dog-friendly and offers off-street parking.

This is our first visit this year of three booked for 2026 and our third year of staying at this well appointed ground floor apartment.Sadly over time the cleanliness has deteriorated, the property would benefit from a deep clean, especially the windows inside and out. The oven requires cleaning although I did clean the trays and freezer needed defrosting. The curtains in the lounge require re hanging and have done so for at least 10 months. Having said the above there are plenty of positives. Comfy beds, clean lining and towels. Breakages do happen but crockery is in short supply for four people when using the dishwasher once a day. There is parking both outside and inside the gated property although inside is a little tight for a big car. Lovely outside seating area with disabled ramp which leads into a large conservatory with seating. Large kitchen with dining table. Family bathroom with separate shower. Laundry and guest toilet room . Two well appointed bed rooms. Brush, mop and bucket available but no hoover. The floors are wood or tiled. Large rug in lounge, two large cream leather sofas which for older people are difficult to get up from. Couple in late 70’s overall we enjoy our stay and return .
