• "Our second time at this property and we would recommend it."

  We had a little problem accessing the cottage, but this was swiftly rectified by phoning the number provided. Only a two minute walk to the dog friendly part of the beach which our dog loved for his morning walk. Lots of nice places and beaches nearby to visit by car.

  A ten to fifteen minutes walk to the town centre. Handy shops nearby. The accomodation has all you need, a home from home. Stairs to bedrooms and bathroom.

• "Our third time, and we’re looking to book next year too!"

  Perfect for our (getting older) GSD which makes it relaxing for us. The only thing which would make it even more comfortable would be additional/ different garden furniture; the bench is ok for a while but soon gets uncomfortable even with the cushions. As we’re spending more time ‘at home’ with our GSD (and my mum!) we’d like to be able to relax in the garden with our books for longer.

  Thank you for your feedback, we love returning guests, and really appreciate your loyalty. We are always looking for ideas to improve your stay however big or small.We will definitely take your suggestions on board, we love a challenge Property Owner

• "We have a lovley holiday in Sandy Toes."

  Very comforable, warm and welcoming. Everything we needed. If we come that way again Sandy Toes is the cottage we would book. Would like to mention a concern that we had there was a smell in the kitchen (I would point out it is very, very clean) its around the fridge area and back door, it got worse as the week went on and got better after the heavy rain on Wednesday, we suspect it was the drains. Not a complaint but something I think you should be aware of as it greets you when returning from a day out!

  Thank you for your lovely feedback, happy you enjoyed your stay and would definitely welcome you back again. We can only apologise for the drains, possibly something had been emptied outside, which was then washed away. We are taking up the mater with our management company until we are there next and will do a thorough investigation. We do appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Property Owner

• "Really enjoyed our stay at Sandy Toes with our dog."

  Comfortable and clean cottage with everything you need, in a quiet location and only a short walk to the dog friendly area of the beach. I was a bit worried about the on-road parking as it’s unrestricted and being so close to the beach I thought people might park there on days out, but that wasn’t the case at all and we were there during school holidays. We were able to park directly outside the cottage no problem.

  We are really pleased you had such an enjoyable stay. We are very lucky with the parking outside the cottage, even in the summer as it is so close to the beach, it is still a lovely quiet residential road. Property Owner

• "The property came up to expectations as described."

  Other than the fact I wouldn't describe it as a cottage! Perhaps because we live in one! Sandy Toes is a very comfortable, cosy and well equipped property, providing every thing we needed for a lovely holiday week. One of its greatest attractions is it's proximity to the beach with lovely walks along the sea front where there are several options for a coffee, snack, drink and the best ice-cream! Would definitely come again. Thank you Sykes!

  Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so pleased you had a comfortable stay, and found everything you needed. Our location is perfect for the beach, and local amenities all within walking distance. We would love to welcome you back again. Our property was originally built to house workers in the surrounding mining villages, these rows of terraced houses were known as miners cottages, thats why we call it a cottage, which is very specific to this area, and unlike the typical ‘chocolate box ‘ cottage people often envisage. We like to maintain it as a simple and cosy dwelling. Property Owner
