    There was a lack of storage space in the bedrooms - only one room had a wardrobe but no drawers, the others had drawers but nowhere to hang clothes. The stairs to the top bedroom are very steep and narrow making them awkward to negotiate - particularly when carrying luggage. It would have been nice to have instructions how to work the integrated coffee machine, we tried and failed to puzzle it out. Thankfully a cafetiere was available.

    We stayed at this lovely house for a week while on a walking holiday. It was perfectly located in a quiet area of town, just a 15 minute walk to the railway station for train or bus to the beginning of our walks Being up high we enjoyed spectacular views of the North Bay and the garden was a delightful place to relax and take in the view. We particularly appreciated the large bright rooms and beds were very comfortable. One of the main reasons we chose this house was the free off-road parking for our car which was very convenient.

    There are 2 large wardrobes however, you only have access to 1/2 of one wardrobe with only 8 hangers for up to 8 guests. One wardrobe was padlocked with no access at all. The advert states 3 bathrooms when there are only 2.5 (2 bathrooms and a toilet on the first floor landing)

    The location of this property is fantastic for both the North & South Bays. Views of the sea can be seen from every window in the house, its a beautifully renovated Georgian townhouse. Lots of space & facilities for families, the photographs in the listing are accurate.

    No welcome pack, I know this isnt essential but its a nice touch. There werent enough facilities in the bedrooms for storing clothes, some rooms had no wardrobes and some rooms had no drawers

    Excellent location and brilliant views over the south bay. Lots of space. There were plenty of kitchen things. Beds were really, really comfy.

    Very little. It was all very good. As it was a 3 storey Edwardian House, the stairs were sometimes a little steep, but we all got used to them. You cannot have an Edwardian Town House that is 3 storeys high without a lot of stairs!!

    everything. It was a delightful property, beautifully decorated and well stocked. All appliances new. Very comfortable and kept all the beautiful architectural points in the Edwardian House. A pleasure to stay in.

    There is a leak on the drainpipe just outside the back door. Could also benefit having some lighting on the decking.

    This property is next door to a large hotel and the lovely garden backs onto the ‘working back yard’ with the bins and large flue. Most of the time we could ignore this, though and just enjoy the view. This house for 8 only had 1 of the parking spaces as the other is used by the downstairs flat for 2. We managed street parking without much hassle using the residents scratch cards provided, but this was the end of October; I think parking may be difficult in the summer months.

    Great location with wonderful views from every window. We enjoyed the decking overlooking North bay everyday with a few drinks and to the envy of walkers passing by. Stylish and functional interior that made a great family holiday.

    The toilet on the first floor doesn't seem to be attached very securely to the wall. Some of the light switches were in need of a clean. The carpets in the bed rooms were stained.

    The location is fabulous and the view from the decking was so lovely. The house was comfortable and nicely furnished. The kitchen / dinning room is a great space to meet, sit, chat etc.

    While the main issue I had was resolved it's a shame it happened. On arrival one of the beds bedding was dirty. The cleaner was unavailable so I ended up having to change this myself. While that's not an issue it's disappointing that the cleaning company was so bad. I've had previous experience with host stay cleaners doing this, very poor experience. Main sofa's are cream fabric, why lol. I ended up washing one cushion as it was dirty and this showed why cream is not a good idea, the rest of the sofa looked really bad next to the clean one. Recommend you have the cleaners do the covers once a month or replace with a different colour. Someone had tried to get in the locked storage cupboard previously and pulled the skirting board off the wall along with the plaster. We didn't notice it until the 2 year old had some in his mouth! No dryer which wouldn't be an issue but there is only a broken clothes horse, and the rotary washing line has no where to go. We ended up putting it in the table hole but it leaned over all the time so drying took ages. Beds.. mattress was fine but the pillows were so bad. Kids ended up sleeping with cushions instead and the duvet was like a winter blanket. Was so hot we just took it out of the cover

    Location is great. Sea views and a short walk to the beach and strip The house has lots of room The garden is big with a lovely view Child gate on the 2nd floor is a nice touch. We could relax knowing the little ones wouldn't fall down. Washing Machine is helpful shame no dryer Parking permits for outside. We had 3 cars so this was nice
