  • "We really like the location, beds were ok and linen nice, secure garden for dogs and balcony with amazing view."

    The place is dated and the tiled shower room in much need of a good scrub and paint. Lots of mould on the grout. General cleanliness was ok but there were loads of high level cobwebs, mould on the window shutters and the shower room was a bit gross. Location fab so that makes up for the cleanliness, kitchen well equipped, smaller than appears on advert so difficult to clothing away (clever storage solutions needed).

  • "Having read the reviews we were aware of the restaurant vent noise but luckily ( unfortunately for us) the weather was not good enough to need to keep the door open to the balcony."

    The property is certainly “compact “ and a bit of a squeeze for 5 . The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the linen soft and clean. Towels were a welcome addition and also soft and clean. There is no kitchen storage for any food items and I needed to defrost the small freezer section of the fridge, as someone had left it on but not shut the freezer door properly so it was full of ice and we couldn’t put anything in it. There are frying pans which are flaking off the non stick surface which definitely need replacing. I couldn’t find a potato masher. I would agree that the position of the property sells itself and also accounts for the high price . Everything else worked fine. No box for glass recycling so we either had to take it to campsite or put it in green bin, which it says not to do . Property did smell damp downstairs and there were areas where black mould had been cleaned off. We did live by coast in past so are aware this is often an issue in coastal properties. Property was clean enough

  • "The house is lovely and in a great location ."

    So much parking. It would be lovely to have better furniture on the balcony as that’s where we spent most of our time and had to use our beach chairs. The freezer in the shed didn’t work so we only had the small section on the fridge to use. The tv reception was very bad and unusable most of the time. Every room could do with a good clean . I was in the twin and there were cobwebs between the bedside cabinets and beds. The window sills behind the blinds hadn’t been cleaned. The double divan base was stained on the sides. The bedside lamp shades were broken. The washing machine drawer has black mould in it. There is also no storage cupboard for food in the kitchen. We had a great week thanks just things that maybe other guests haven’t reported.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay at Beachside.

  • "Stayed here last year and had a good time so booked again."

    We love the property and proximity to the beach. It has everything we need. A welcome addition were the two new sun loungers which we put to good use when the weather was hot. It was also appreciated that the outdoor shower canopy had been replaced and extended over the entrance door. It was disappointing that the BT Internet and TV did not work on arrival. However John Bray responded to my call on the Saturday morning. They sent a man round to check who came back later to check the voltage on the tv and brought a dongle so we could connect to the Internet. The tv still did not work so they provided a replacement. Can't fault John Brays response at all. The issue was deemed to be a BT issue but after we had watched Eurovision we didn't really need the TV. The owner's collection of DVD's kept us entertained. The house was warm and had everything we needed. Even a washing machine and tumble dryer out in the shed. Both of the bathrooms could do with a paint update, but in the bigger ofvthe two the shower cubicle had been updated since our last visit. In some rooms the cleaners could pay a bit more attention to dusting the skirting boards and the louvre doors as they were thick eith dust in the room with 2 single beds. The rooms could do with some shelves for storing things like hair dryer and make up as the one unit with two drawers is not big enough. Both bathrooms need more shelves as there is not enough room to put anything. The wet room also gets wet from the shower and leaks under the door into the hall so a towel has to be put down in the hall and it definitely needs more storage in there. As I said at the start this is our second stay abd despite the small niggles we love it and hope to return again next year.

  • "Great location, good use of internal space to give as much comfort as possible but I am not sure the bathroom doors / size of bathrooms are accessible for those with mobility restrictions."

    I also think the damp /Mold in bedrooms needs to be dealt with or declared in the listing. I have chronic asthma, luckily I have it under control but anyone with a young asthmatic or someone with immune / breathing issues would find this problematic and possible cause of a deterioration in health. Kitchen and house was well equipped, especially compared to latitude 50 houses in the area. But dishwasher is awful - better to get my teenager to do it badly but quicker… Would have been nice to have a washing line and a few more tumblers / water glasses in ratio to wine glasses! I know from having lived near the sea, windows are problematic but they desperately need a clean.

  • "When we arrived there was no running hot water - we discovered that the boiler fuse was turned off."

    Once it was on every time we turned on the hot tap there was a loud reverberating noise throughout the house. There was also a bedroom radiator that we could not turn off in the heat. The main light overhead of the steep stairs was not working (I have an 88 year old husband) and we had to ring for an electrician. All of these should have been checked and sorted before we arrived. Much of the china was really dirty and we had to rewash it before use. There was only 1 dishwasher tablet (maybe why everything was so grubby), no vegetable peeler, washing up brush, recycling bags as demanded by the green recyling bin outside etc. There were less cereal bowls than the house accommodates - odd mismatching selection of tired china. No House instructions on what was required pre leaving We put on a dvd (great selection) but it would only show black and white so we gave up. Opposite the enticing looking balcony is an extremely loud extractor fan running all hours from the restaurant in front of the property. Under the sofas etc there was dust everywhere. Sadly someone had gone to some trouble to design the place and decorate it and its central position with a sea view is great. The parking and little garden too was a bonus. It needed proper maintenance and care.

  • "We had a great stay."

    Admittedly the property is looking a bit tired in places, the walls and skirting boards need a paint and some of the windows have broken handles. The downstairs small bathroom has a dodgy toilet roll holder as it fell off the bracket. Overall the quality of the crockery and cutlery were high, there were ample of each and the pots and pans were clean and plenty of them. The appliances were all good and clean. The only criticism I had with the kitchen was a lack of cupboard space to store our food, but a bit of juggling I made some room. The sofas are also tired and do sag a bit but I understand it is rented out to dog owners as well and dogs will climb on even though they shouldn't. The bedding was all crisp and clean as were the towels and the beds were comfortable. Wardrobes were a bit small and not enough hangers. Although I did make use of anns cottage for their free ones to use. It was a bonus having the utility area with washer and dryer that came in useful. The garden was a good size and a real suntrap we enjoyed sitting out in. The supply of tea towels and washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets was appreciated. It wasn't quite a home from home but close and certainly better than our two previous rentals. Would definitely stay again. Location was fantastic being so close to the beach. A little bit of tlc with decorating would make it perfect. I again had issues with the cleaning as hair was left in the plughole in the white shower and dust bunnies in the corners and as per the last rental we stayed in no-one bothers to move the beds to vacuum but that is on the cleaners not the owners. Another review from March 2023 really gave this property a bad review but after staying I disagree with that review. The noisy extractor fan of the waterfront restaurant that she complained about had me worried as I am a light sleeper, but honestly it is noisy in the day but only if our door open or you are outside but it switches off about 10-11pm and only starts again when they open in the morning so wasn't an issue. Just goes to show people react differently to things.

    Behind Waterfront restaurant so some extractor noise from restaurant but not a problem. The settees were extremely uncomfortable. The double bed felt small, no hanging space for clothes in bedrooms. Initially internet did not work but established it was not plugged in, good when fixed. Central heating came on overnight and required a call out to fix it. Could do with a smart TV. Impressed with the 47 wine glasses, enough for everyone. Overall we had a good time and the property with the location it had was well priced. Good value for money.

  • "Location of property for the beach is great and that’s about it."

    It took me a couple of days to realize that what I thought was the sound of the sea was in fact the giant extractors from restaurant in front of the property. Property is really tired and needs care i would have expected this to be air b&b at a lowe price as it felt an extension of someone’s home and not to the standard I was expecting. Cleanliness was on the lower end - Blinds were showing mold The kitchen window seem to be welded shut slung with some other windows no ventilation when cooking No control of heating set to a timer and was to hot There was no Wi-Fi pick up of what was detailed in the notes The cooker would randomly start to beeb The sofa was torn and when sat on seem to be broken or very sunken / worn with the cushions that looked and felt dirty the toilet / showers were tiny Your clothes couldn’t hang correctly in the wardrobe as they were so small. I’m really sorry to give this feedback but for the price i was so disappointed when you work hard and pay a decent price for a holiday cottage I would expect a better standard . I definitely will not be using Sykes again.

    Good points: Location Parking; ample parking for 4 cars. Upside down layout with living area upstairs. Garden space. Plenty of DVD’s supplied. Bad points: Second (non electric) shower never got hot. Garden areas scruffy & needs weeding. Quite a lot of furnishings warn & needs replacing, including string needs replacing on most blinds, shower with electric shower needs grouting as mouldy in places, not enough glasses & relying on glasses ‘pinched from the pub’, but plenty of champagne flutes(!), mismatched/old crockery & pans eg 6 pan lids & 3 small pans, saucers with no cups, dishwasher needs replacing as does not clean as evidenced by dirty crockery when we arrived & fridge in kitchen needs replacing as old & worn out. In summary someone needs to spend a couple of days in the property fixing & checking. John Bray holidays feedback. We phoned on first morning to advise no pans big enough to cook for family of four. Chased next day, pans eventually arrived 4 days into our week. In reality this property is blocked solid so will always do well, but for the money just needs a bit of smartening up.
