"So disappointed."
At first glance this seemed a pretty and nicely decorated apartment but it was infested with fleas as we gradually realised as our bites became more and more numerous and we found and caught fleas hopping about the carpets in every room. We have had no satisfactory response after raising our concerns.
Thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry that you experienced fleas while you were staying at our apartment.
You made us aware of the situation and as soon as you left we had the whole place fumigated and sprayed. No further evidence of fleas was found afterwards.
We have since insisted that dogs must be treated for fleas when staying in our apartment and Sykes have added this to the website.

"Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis dieser Unterkunft ist absolut top."
Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Als wir beim Einchecken mit dem Code Probleme hatten, kam Debbie sofort vorbei und hat uns geholfen. Sie hat sich sehr liebevoll für unseren Hund interessiert und für diesen Kekse bereitgelegt. Außerdem mehrere Fressnäpfe zur Auswahl. Die Lage am Meer ist sehr schön und die maritime Einrichtung genau mein Geschmack. Alles passt toll zusammen. Es gab reichlich Hand- und Badetücher und viele Putzutensilien. Allerdings sooo viel, dass im Kleiderschrank vom Schlafzimmer der Eltern kein Fach mehr für unsere Klamotten frei war (nur die Möglichkeit, ein paar Sachen auf Bügel zu hängen). Dann habe ich die Putzsachen vom Schrank unters Bett gepackt, um meine Klamotten in den Schrank einzusortieren. Wir fanden es schön, vom kleinen überachtem Balkon aus aufs Meer zu schauen. Manche Ecken in der Unterkunft waren nicht so hundertprozentig sauber, aber die Vorteile dieser Ferienwohnung überwiegen, so dass wir sie nochmal buchen würden. Drumherum sind wir auf äußerst sympathische Einheimische gestoßen, die sich sehr gerne mit uns unterhalten haben. Es gab ein hervorragendes indisches Restaurant und reichlich Menschen, die ein sehr sehr großes Herz für Hunde haben.

"Access to the apartment is clumsy and lengthy, through a garden gate, down concrete steps, up a metal staircase through a coded door, up an internal staircase, through an external door to an outside walkway to the apartment door."
Street parking, if available is 75 yards away, nearer parking is double yellow-lined. We found the description of access very misleading, and only sent details at last minute. Clearly deliberate. There was little comfort to be had in this apartment. The sofas were the type of thing you would get in student accomodation. Cheap, hard and worn. Kitchen areas greasy, artificial flowers festooned with cobwebs. One toilet dysfunctional, does not flush properly.Curtains behind bed difficult to reach and use. This bedroom visible from upstairs walkway. Kitchen equipment I'll thought out. Lack of suitable bowls for cereal,deserts. Only four noodle bowls. Enclosed balcony and decor creates dark room and electric plugs very sparse. This apartment is not worth the fee charged.

Following your comments we checked the description of access on the website and felt it was clear enough. The same for parking.
The toilet is slow filling not dysfunctional as stated.
As we clean the apartment ourselves, we are surprised at your comments on cleanliness, but have taken your comments on board.
Most guests are happy with the furnishings, but we are sorry you were not.

"Lovely position overlooking the sea, but very much let down for me by the 4 flights of stairs (2 flights on an open fire escape outside the building and 2 internal staircases up to flat."
) There were 32 steps in total and I struggled to safely move my elderly westies up the stairs and down 3 or 4 times a day for going out and toiletting them morning and evening. Poor lighting on the staircases didn't help either. Internally, you had to go up more steps to get to light switch to light up the staircase for the steps to go down. Ridiculous. And the automatic light on the bottom external staircase only came on within a couple of steps of the bottom, so most of the stairase was unlit There was only one photo of steps on website showing a stone staircase at the front of the building, of about 6 steps,which I had thought was the steps to the flat. It was not made clear how awkward the steps were to use. My holiday was spoiled by both my dogs stumbling and falling on both sets of steps, meaning we had to carry them both up and down for their safety for most of the week, and probably put our own safety at risk by doing so. Very disappointing accommodation for us. Spoiled our days out and our holiday.
Sara
We are sorry that you had problems with the access for your elderly dogs. We checked the description of access on the website and felt it was OK.
The Landlord has installed automatic light switching doing away with the need for actual switches. The access was a work in progress following the installation of the new glazed balconies, so there will be no problem in future.

"Information about quite a number of issues experienced at the property given by phone to Emily at Sykes Ref."
COR-274374-CF.
In addition I missed mentioning the following:
Parking was difficult outside the front of the flats, although there was no charge. On arrival the road was fully parked, but fortunately while we wondered what to do someone further along the road moved. It was quite an operation transferring things around to the back of the property and 2 floors up the fire escape type open staircase to the entrance door. The road was regularly fully parked, so the owners of Flat 1 helpfully advised of other suitable parking availability.
We did enjoy our week around the area and a few good meals out.

"Best equipped self-catering accommodation we have ever been too."
However, the on-line description should make clearer the access via flights of stairs at the back. Also a handrail by the internal steps would be useful. Lovely views of sea and the coast from Dungeness to Folkestone and the French coast when clear. Thank you for your excellent hospitality.

The apartment was spotless and there were enough cookeries and dinnerware for us to cook a few family meals. Location was great with the beach at the doorstep. The hosts have been super responsive, helpful and flexible which I truly appreciate. The apartment was superbly decorated and furnished. I think it will be worthy to warn future guests that there are other owners that have dogs in the compound. It will also be helpful to provide an empty bins for recyclable items in the apartment to ease garbage sorting.

"Soon after arriving we realised that the toilet in the bathroom was blocked to an extent which made it unusable."
The owner was contacted at once.Her response was to say that she had sent an e-mail to my home computer that morning explaining the situation, this would not have helped as I was obviously unable to read any such messages.
As there were just the two of us and there was a toilet in the en-suite we agreed to stay the owner made no offer of compensating us for the inconvenience."Sykes" obviously does not do enough to ensure that the properties in it's listings are maintained to a high enough standard.
On returning home I checked my e-mails and found that the message she had sent began "Good evening" which suggests that she sent the message after wehad rung her and not as she had stated.
Never Again.

"Littlestone is a charming, quiet seaside town with a great beach and lots to do in the surrounding area."
It's fantastic for dogs as there is only a small extent of the beach that is not dog friendly all the year round and plenty of good walks nearby. There are good eating places within walking distance or a short drive away and all were dog friendly outside. Watch for the amazing Mr Whippy selling Reynolds Ice Cream on The Green. Yum! It's worth the queue for one of his specials.
Littlestone Beach Apartment is beautifully appointed with everything you could want for a comfortable self catering stay and it is so restful and peaceful, being on a quiet stretch of road and directly on the seafront with a wonderful calming view from the enclosed balcony. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had a friendly, homely feel. Parking in the road outside was easy when we were there. The access via the rear staircase might be tricky for the less able. The beach is perfect for children and dogs- a mixture of shingle and sand and a short walk from the apartment across the Green which is just over the road outside.
We had a wonderful week despite some inclement weather and came home really well rested. We strongly recommend.
