Sea Breeze

If you want to be as central to Brean as you can be and and prefer apartments to caravans then you cannot do better.

A restaurant, chippy, shops, amusements, fun park and the Gull (Seagull) all within easy reach. Surprisingly for early June the amusements and Gull were closed from Sunday evening to Friday, which was disappointing but not the fault of the accommodation! If I were to visit Brean again I would happily rebook Sea Breeze.

Absolutely loved my break from the accommodation to closeness of beach and pubs and restaurants would highly recommend

Has been mentioned in other reviews but more detailed address would be helpful, had to ask a local.

Enter Knoll Park, 1st block on left (named "Ash House") furthest doorway, up stairs "Sea Breeze" on right.

Arrived at the property, couldn't find it as it's not overly advertised.

Had to ask someone who was local as there is no number only a name. The accommodation was comfortable and home from home. The cleanliness was a little off par, the sofa bed needs cleaning and blinds were dusty. But overall the accommodation was welcoming.

I was unable to locate gate key to go to the beach so had to go through sea gull premises,despite messaging it wasn't resolved.

Basic accommodation but didn't expect the ritz for the money,and having 2 dogs with me Debbie

Fab little place right in the middle of every thing had to leave few days early due to family crisis would definitely recommend could do with a few deck chairs for sitting outside but this place has everything needed

The apartment is as described, probably needs a new sofa, other than that it's clean well equipped.

The position is excellent close to beach ,shops, entertainment, but slightly off the beaten track to allow a good night sleep. It's also on a bus route

The place was very dirty we only managed to stay one night everywhere was so full of dirt cobwebs and grime and to have laminate flooring in an upstairs when there is people living all year in the ground floor just dosnt make sense when you allow dogs I felt so so sorry for the them the lights on the top of the stairs didn’t work so how we were supposed to put a code in the door was beyond me without difficulty the whole place needs decorating and a thorough clean and we will not be stay staying again I’d recommending you for anyone else to stay there and we will certainly be leaving a honest review and the bottle we left in the fridge wasn’t as a thank you just forgotten to empty it as we couldn’t wait to leave there

Lovely position, close to amenities & beach.

Beds are a bit hard & the hot water in bath was temperamental. Loved the linoleum floors as it made sweeping up the sand a lot easier. Would benefit with an extra key to the beach as would make life easier when the family want to go to beach at different times & would save calling a family member back in order to gain access. Other than that we had a lovely stay & will definitely be returning, def helped that we had sunshine all week.

Perfect location easily accessible to beach and bars/entertainment with toddler and dog.

Bit of a musty smell in the property and the hallway smelled strong like bleach on arrival. Was quite dusty on the tv stand under the bed etc noticed more due to toddler crawling around. We didn’t ever find the wifi code. We appreciated the milk and tea coffee that was left. Floor boards are creaky so trying to navigate the room with a sleeping toddler is a bit difficult and the rooms are very bright meaning everyone was awake early but nothing ruined our stay. Would stay again due to location.

The flat is in a good position to the beach and entertainment but the windows in the flat need repair the wind whistles through them the blinds need replacing and could do with maintenance on the flat

Property was ok ideal for eating out (end of road) and as a base.

A bit small for 4 adults and 2 children, seating not very comfortable and floor boards creaked in every room.

Thank you for letting us share your holiday let.

If you’re thinking about taking your dogs on holiday this property is fantastic. It is made for dogs. The area is very safe, they even have a grassy area which is fenced off for your dogs, with a poo bin. You can access the beach from this area, and the beach is dog friendly. There are lots of entertainment and eating options nearby and it’s near to other places of interest .

Property was nice clean central to amenities accesible for beach dog freindly would not hesitate to book again

Excellent location.

Close to all amenities and attractions. Everything within very short walking distance. Only used the car when going for days out.

We had a great time we met up with our friends that live opposite , we got here and was greeted by a elderly couple who said hello we own this property but not upstairs where your staying and oh you both look like drinkers to me and I say I’m not a drinker and the they say if you loose your key doors are locked at 9.

30 and I’m like hold on we just got here but they did speak to us when we passed them but even thou they own the bottom floor flat I Thout the garden was supposed to be communal but they had plant pots all infront of the bench so we couldn’t sit down , and me and my hubby are both smokers and he suffers with his back and we had to stand there for a fag and they had show rack as you go in and pair of shoes was rite at bottom of stairs and my hubby tripped up first step over them but apart from that the flat was spotless and comfy and close to our friends so in all we were happy but shame about the neighbors who live below as there very off putting and I kept my mouth shut as they were elderly.

Great for a weekend stay.

If 6 were staying the fridge is too small, and we struggled a bit as 4. Clean and comfortable though and just 2 minutes from the beach and 5 minutes from the theme park.

Clean and tidy everything close by 2 mins from the sea Shops,cafe,amusements just around the corner

The property owners have been very accomodating, especially as we had left some items behind when we left.

The loaction was ideal with plenty of shops, pubs, parks etc. down the road. Driving a short distance we have Wooley Hole and Cheddar. However, the place was dirty and looking at some previous reviews, I am not the first person to say this so I'm surprised nothing has been done to improve the cleanliness. It looks as though it had a quick once over but nothing more. The dust under the sofas, beds, top of cupboards, windows was thick! All the crockery needed washing before we could use it. The kitchen tap leaks, and hot water comes out dangerously scolding hot. There was a smell of stale smoke when we arrived, which disappeared with some open windows and may have been a neighbour rather then this flat. Although the advert says sleeps 6, it would be hard to accommodate that number with the size of the property but was ideal for our little family of 3. Overall, a nice little place but it is in need of some TLC and cleaning.

Very nice well equipped flat in a very good location

Enjoyed the stay, but a few maintenance issues, the seal on the fridge door was loose so the door would not close properly, one of the kitchen cupboards doors had a loose hinge so dropped down when you opened it and you had to jiggle it to close the next cupboard door.

The Key to the beach gate does not work so we couldn’t access the beach.

A great stay in this comfortable and well equipped property, convenient for the beach, shops, pubs, fun fair, amusement arcades and various eateries.

This place was a tip.

. There was mould in a wardrobe thick cobwebs on the window sills the floor was dirty and the kitchen sink tap was not fixed in it wobbled all over the place. That was what we found in the few minutes we where in there. I did call the owner who said the cleaners should have been in. I asked for a refund and she told me to contact Sykes on Monday. We found accommodation at a lovely caravan park near by call Beachside were the staff were very helpful. On Monday I contacted Sykes and Anna said was raising a case and was going to contact the owner of this Flat to see if she would give me a refund. She came back and said the owner would not give a refund as we hadn't given her the chance to get cleaners in. It would have taken a day to clean it, she also needed to get a new wardrobe and also needed a plumber for the tap. I don't know where she thought we were going to stay while she sorted all this out at 5pm on a Saturday afternoon. She needs to be stopped as she is a take the money and run.

Very disappointed in the accommodation.

Very little comfort, chipped furniture, plastic wine glasses and torn Lino on kitchen floor. Can’t believe Sykes have viewed this property.

We stayed in the property due to having had a family bereavement.

We were totally shocked at what we found. The property was unclean - oven was absolutely filthy so could not use it; dirty cupboards and cobwebs on kitchen window and by extractor; kitchen floor has big rips in and lounge sofa had stained cushion covers that needed washing, dirt and dust in various places throughout Outside there was old drawers dumped on the garden shed at front of property. The bathroom was clean and there were white towels which were clean, but the cleanliness stopped there. We have photos which we are happy to share. Given the circumstances for our stay, it was upsetting and stressful. The state of the kitchen meant we were unable to cook food which was the whole point of choosing self catering accommodation from Sykes. We paid for facilities which we were unable to use, so I will be contacting Sykes to take this further. Totally let down by Sykes and this property. I would like someone from Sykes to contact me so we can discuss this matter further.

We had a great time.

The apartment was lovely. We will definitely be booking with you again.

Absolutely loved our stay at Sea Breeze, in Brean.

We stayed for 5 days and we were so refreshed, we didn't want to go home. The apartment was modern, spacious and had everything we needed. The only annoyance was the sound of the bathroom extractor fan making clanging sounds because of the wind. My dog was initially afraid of it but we all got used to it and it didn't bother us after the first night. Brean beach was literally less than two minutes walk from the accommodation, so this was perfect was walking our dog in the mornings/evenings. Burnham on sea was only 10 minutes drive away and western super-mare less than 20 minutes away. There was a big Tesco supermarket 6 minutes drive away, which was ideal and at the entrance to our apartment was a fish shop, bakery and amusements. We loved our stay so much, even the dog was depressed when he came back. We would definitely stay there again.

The flat was warm and quite.

improvements The toilet seat was broken, there were stains on the furniture, The mop was not fit for purpose. The microwave was dirty, I feel that these issues should of been rectified before we arrived.

Beautiful accommodation and a great host.

We really liked it here and would love to come again. Thank you very much.

It would have been nice if it said on the advert first block on the left, sat nav took us to the top so we were totally confused too us a while to find it.

Then when we did and got the key the front door still would not open had to phone for help finally got in just over half hour later, lock on door was broken Not a good start. But everything else was great. Well equipped perfect

Good value .

For some outdated and rather small appliances ( tv) No frying pan/wok . Asides this is a good place to stay @ the right pricing point .

The flat was very nice and clean.

Beds comfy Everything worked in the kitchen, but there was a lack of cooking opportunities as there was no frying pan and maybe a carving knife might be a good idea. However, the position of the property couldn’t be better and we all had really lovely few days thanks

Very disappointed with the cleanliness of the property.

Mould on the shower curtain, thick dust on moisture traps and fan. Cobwebs in master bedroom and bathroom. Bathroom sink unit has the laminate hanging off. The plumbing in the kitchen is awful - every time you let water down the sink the u bend floods with water all over the cupboard and floor. The iron leaks water then switches off after about 30 seconds of use. Excellent location and such potential but would avoid again until these problems have been sorted.

More parking space has we had two cars and there was only room for one car

Needs updating looking tired and mould needs sorting in bedrooms but not a bad place

The position was of the flat was great with parking right outside but getting in and out of the flat was a real nightmare.

The key to the main door was very difficult to unlock. Sometimes it would take over 10 minutes to get in. Then the security keypad on the flat door had to be tackled. It was almost impossible to see the keypad due to it being so dark on the landing, even wearing my reading glasses and even on the rare occasions the light was on. If I hadn't had my son with me I wouldn't have been able to get in at all. There is also a key to open a security gate to get to the beach and that was equally difficult to operate. It meant we were locked on the beach side one evening until someone passing was able to open it from the other side. There were plenty of towels and the flat was warm but could have been cleaner. In particular the utensils, plates, cutlery and cooker were in a disgusting state. We had to wash everything before using anything. The oven was so greasy that I didn't even bother with that. The DVD player was also on the blink and made a horrendous noise, too noisy to play and the sound bar wasn't even connected so we couldn't even increase the volume to compensate. The bathroom door squeaked loudly disturbing anyone trying to sleep. The chairs in the dining room also make a deafening noise on flooring. They could do with some rubber feet on bottom. I felt sorry for the people in the flat beneath us. Despite all this we had a good time but I wouldn't book this property again.

The location of this property is fantastic, there is a 'private' route to the beach but this wasn't the easiest of routes so we just walk a couple of minutes down the road and used the access from The Seagull car park.

Brean Leisure Park and Splash Park are an easy walk in the other direction and there are a number of places to eat, we only used the car to go shopping and for a few longer visits. Everything inside the property was not great, which was a real shame. It was dirty, covered in dust and other 'things'. The list below has been provided to Sykes with photographs but looking at other reviews on here and other Trip based Advisor websites we are not the first to raise them. No blind in the bathroom - the fixings are rusting away on the wall, but no blind (not great when a painters head appears a foot away from the window!) Black mold on the shower curtain (still) A shower pole that falls on you if you pull the shower curtain to hard A large gap between the end of the bath and the wall - be careful with what you place on the end of the bath A very 'sticky' kitchen - we made a clean bit on the top of the fire blanket holder, Rusty kitchen equipment - cheese grater, toaster, microwave Very, very, very hot water - please BE CAREFUL The top of both wardrobes thick with dust - you don't want to store anything up there Dental floss stick, finger nail and used tissue found in the additional bedding under the bed settee (nice!) The lounge fan blades thick with black dust - we didn't dare turn it on Not the most secure of front doors Considering you are currently being asked to check in later at the moment, so additional cleaning can be completed I imagine, I have no idea what this additional time is being used for. Oh and one last thing - don't look at the double mattress until you are leaving......its probably for the best. The only thing that was sorted was when the blocked drainage caused the sink to overflow with water from the washing machine that then leaked into the apartment downstairs. Yes, we did raise all of these issues with Sykes but for the second week of our fortnight break nothing was sorted. What really made it was when people attended to fix the plumbing issue (including the owner) but that was all that was done. The floss, finger nail and tissue remained in situ! I really, really hope that these things are addressed as it could be a great holiday let.

We had a nice break here and it was nice to have the beach so close by and private to residents although it was a shame we didn’t have the weather.

Location is near to pubs although all were very busy and not many options of nice restaurants nearby. The apartment was clean and basic, however the bathroom could do with a new shower curtain & the DVD player maybe needs replacing as it makes a funny noise & freezes the screen from time to time. Other than those minor things it had everything needed.

The apartment was filthy.

My wife just wanted to go home as soon as we arrived but instead we found a supermarket and bought cleaning materials. The worst was the bathroom. There was black mildew all over the walls and the shower curtain just needed throwing away. How expensive is a new shower curtain! I spent the first two night cleaning it to persuade her to stay. The kitchen was in a similar state so we just didn’t use it and ate out instead. It’s a shame though, it has great potential but just needs decorating top to bottom. My main frustration is that During a pandemic i at least expected it to be clean, in fact that’s what Sykes is pushing on the website! Just words, nobody can be doing any checks. That bathroom has spent a long time getting that black. I hope anyone using the place after us appreciates the work we put in to that bathroom. Luckily we took a couple of throws with us so we put these on the sofa so we had something to sit on. I have been staying in cottages for many years and this was definitely the worst ever. We left early…. Just in case anyone thinks I’m one of those internet moaners, this is the first review I have Ever given.

Very Noisy walking on the Floor not nice for People Below so we went out as much as possible.

We did not Feel Comfortable at anytime in the Flat it Felt Closed in and Awkward to Move About. We had trouble getting in and out of the Flat with the Numbers and Keys. Sorry to say we didn't Enjoy the Flat At all.

We usually stay at pontins when we visit brean but we thought we would try somewhere different this year.

We were really happy with our stay and would definitely return to your accommodation on future holidays to brean

Apartment is very nice, pleasantly presented, clean, comfortable and well-equipped

There was Cobb webbs every were mouse dropping on the kitchen sides.

floor boards made a noise every time you walk on them.there was problems with the taps with the water.it wos that bad we came home to days early.would never book that place again.also it says we paid 636 pound.but you charged us 720 pound so please can you get back to me and tell me why we was charged that price.

The apartment is in a prime location in Brean with all amenities within waking distance car parking is directly in front of the apartment and bays are large.

The neighbor below is friendly and helpful. The apartment still needs basic improvements carried out but these are all cosmetic and didn't detract from a very enjoyable holiday in some very hot temperatures . The entrance to the beech is close and in easy walking distance . The only negatives would be the bath as there is not enough hot water in the system to have a bath but can be overcome by filling the bath via the large shower head and as a suggestion it would be good to notify the occupants about the dates the window cleaner is due as both my grand daughter and daughter were woken up and frightened by the window being hit with the brush being used to close the window. This was our second successive year we have stayed here and would recommend it.

We really enjoyed our holiday as the accommodation was close by to shops, restaurant, bars and the beach.

Furthermore, it was only a short drive to other towns such as, Weston-Super-Mare, Bath, Wells and Cheddar, all of which made amazing, and memorable days out.

The floor boarding it is so noisy.

You feel sorry for the people in the flat below. The blinds and curtain rails repaired with silver foil and sticky tape isn't a good look either. Apart from the above we had a good holiday. I would definitely go back.

No contact was made as to if you received the photos or any reply as to the state of the apartment on arrival.

Very disappointing on both the apartment front and the customer service provided. I will no be booking again, or recommend you .

Hi the holiday was nice just a little problem with laminate flooring in living room being fitted to tight and very noisy kitchen floor tile are not done leave so easy to trip up on thank well needed break would highly recommend

great location , close to beach, bars, eating out or takeaways, shop, cafe .

clean and tidy, and dog friendly, no problems

There were a few issues that we had with the property.

We found that we had to do a bit of cleaning, there was no blind in the kitchen, and the walls/floors are very thin. I could hear the gentleman in the apartment downstairs snoring all night! The property is also non-smoking but is directly opposite an apartment that is, so there is a strong smell when entering the building. There was limited hot water, so didn't last two showers or one bath. However, the heating was brilliant; the beach was very close by and easily accessible; and it was in a good location.

We were disappointed in the area we were staying in.

We didn't expect bars instead of pubs which were noisy and off putting. The beach was near like described but there were notices along the beach warning of sinking sand!. The main road was dirty and full of rubbish. The flat was warm and cosy and had everything we needed but it was noisy in the evenings with residents and visitors banging doors. Additionally, the first twoman mornings of our stay we were awoken by workmen fitting new windows in the flat below us.

Lovely flat in an excellent location with every thing you need.

The only problem with the flat was that it was not very clean!

We had to clean everything in the cupboards as well as the cupboards themselves!! There were dogs in the accommodation before us and there were dog hairs everywhere!! So we had to clean the living room as well!! Apart from that everything else was ok except for the broken bathroom door handle!!!

I booked this holiday as the accommodation accepted pets, this was meant to be a pet friendly location, however the resident below our apartment made it clear as soon as we arrived that he strongly disliked dogs and he made out entire stay very uncomfortable and became very rude and unfriendly which resulted in my family returning home a day early, we were there to celebrate my fathers 65th birthday which was cut short, this was certainly not a pet friendly holiday, very much the opposite.

Central location.

Property described accurately. Sykes Cottages were easy to contact, very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent host, excellent value for monye, we were well catered, had stayed there previously and would stay again :)

Great accommodation Great location Awesome beach and lots to do even out of season Mrs Clark the owner very helpful

This first floor flat is clean comfortable and well stocked,it is well situated for exploring Cheddar Gorge,Glastonbury and is about an hour and half from longleat, there is a huge sandy beach within a couple of minutes walk with amusements cafe`s and restaurants on the doorstep and yet still surprisingly quiet with so much going on nearby.
