Guests say
Fisherman's Friend is a cosy and spacious apartment with comfortable beds and a prime location right by the beach, making it an excellent base for seaside relaxation and walks. Guests appreciate the off-street parking and the property's potential, despite noting areas that could benefit from attention and maintenance.
Cleanliness has been inconsistent, with some guests finding the property tidy upon arrival, while others encountered issues such as dirty dishes, laundry, and pet hair. The cleanliness appears to decline later in the season.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach and town centre, offering a convenient and scenic setting that guests find ideal for dog walking and seaside enjoyment.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the apartment spacious. However, some furniture may not cater to all needs, such as those with mobility issues, and the property can appear worn in places.
Facilities are generally good quality but several guests reported maintenance issues such as dripping taps, broken appliances, and a lack of kitchenware. The property would benefit from updates and replenishment of items.
While some guests missed having a welcome pack and suggested improvements for a more homely feel, there is no consistent mention of gifts or thoughtful touches, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

I was a bit apprehensive about the property before I arrived due to the previous reviews and no interior pictures. However, on arrival I was very impressed. Yes the accommodation is tide and looks like many happy holiday stays have been made here, but the beds are comfy, the shower is good and you have the beach is on your doorstep. I know the facilities are tied and a neglected and need some TLC but they are of good quality and if were updated you would be paying a lot more for this accommodation. I would recommend this apartment if you want somewhere cosy to stay with off street parking and the beach on your doorstep. Great base for those who like walking or if you just want to relax by the sea and watch the world go by. Not ideal for those who want 5* accommodation but pay budget prices. Will definitely book again.

Wouldn’t cancel even though a parent was having a serious operation two weeks before arriving. Could have changed the date but wouldn’t accept that either

Excellent apartment which ticks all the boxes. Large comfortable lounge and huge well equipt kitchen. Beds are very comfortable, constant hot water and central heating keeps the whole house pleasantly warm. Then, the location across the road from the seafront is the icing on the cake. We would love to visit again next year but I think we'll have to book early
