    No plughole for the bath, not sure if deliberate but was looking forward to a bath as we don’t have one. Cleaning staff need to check the toilet brush!!

    Funky, well designed, unique. Comfortable and modern. Nice location, plenty of parking and spacious.

    A lovely flat, a nice town, terrible admin.

    A couple of things spoiled it for us. There were no cleaning materials in the flat other than a small hand brush with no dustpan so we had to use a piece of cardboard to clean up any spilt crumbs etc. The other, more serious, issue is the process around the damage deposit. In order to pay this we were asked to pay a non returnable fee of £10 for processing. This is not made clear in the listing for the property. The number of emails I received immediately I made the booking was ridiculous and occupied a significant amount of time to manage / respond to. At one point I was going to cancel the booking because of the time and stress the process caused. A shame because the flat was lovely.

    Great location in a pleasant seaside town - close to shops and bars and only 2 minutes walk to the seafront. The flat itself was spacious and comfortable.

    I couldn’t have a coffee, lovely coffee machine and no pods and not been emptied so used pods left in the machine and couldn’t have an instant even Not keen on the Skeleton picture in 2nd bedroom but I’m on my 3rd visit so I can live with it 😀just creeps me out Where have the inflatables gone from the bathroom cupboard

    Location, books, spaciousness, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen. PAC Man arcade, ID Magazines, light, quiet, quirkiness of the place, milk frother, nice message left on the board from the owners. Love the game in living room

    Very minor points which we raised with housekeeping for future reference. When we arrived at 4.00 pm on a cold January day the heating was set at 12 deg C. I can understand to save energy but should have been switched on in the morning as we didn’t get the place warmed up til v late. Secondly we struggled to open the inner door with the key which we could see had had some wear and tear.

    Location perfect for bars and supermarkets and a very short walk to the sea front. Accommodation had everything we needed.

    Checking in time too late (16:00) & Check-out too early (10:00) - feels like lost part of a full day! Standard Damages Insurance Retainer £250 (refundable less £10 admin charge) - Question of transparency/trust without need to photo everything in property. Opted for Waiver Insurance £25 for peace of mind.

    Great location in the centre of town & easy street parking (beware of the Lime Trees!) close to all amenities, trendy craft ale & wine bars (bit pricey) & traditional pubs. Sainsburys & railway Station close by, good selection of smaller shops & coffee shops. Local 2nd hand market stalls at the weekend. Then excellent facilities, ice cream, fish & chips, etc. down on the clean sandy beach, pier, funicular railway (good value £1.60 per adult). Also Miniature Railway short walk away, again great value (£2.00 per adult).

    Would have liked small sharp kitchen knife. Couldn’t get Netflix to work in the living area - was OK in the bedroom. Note on front door said all guests are asked to decorate a plate - we enjoyed looking at previous guests plates but we didn’t get one and were a bit disappointed.

    Great location. Lovely flat - full of interesting things. After 3 days it felt like home. Would recommend.

    Communal carpets dirty. Some of the “ornaments” made areas look a little like a jumble sale. Just odd bits scattered around. Lots of personalised, signed bits to “Neil”. The old fading plates on the wall put the kids off eating. Great idea just everything needs a clean / finishing off. I wasn’t going to take photos of the bits that needed attention as it was nothing major. Their website said they offer plates to decorate, we did not see these. This is the 4th booking we have made this year with H&S. We hadn’t received check in info on the morning we were due to travel. This has not happened before. I emailed but didn’t receive a reply. I called and was told I hadn’t signed a waiver. I had not received this and have not had any for our previous bookings. I was also told I had to pay an £250 for insurance? Then instead I paid £25? Now I’m still unsure whether this was down to H&S or the owner whoever Neil is. I was then was asked to send ID. It’s either a new thing or Neil is worried about his collection going walkies. My passport is in my maiden name. If I was asked to send ID when I booked our previous 4 stays then I would have known which name to book under. Why this couldn’t have been done last August when I had booked god knows but if I hadn’t called on the morning to check we would have arrived and my passport would be at home. It’s really put me off booking again to be honest.

    Loved the videos of the property shown on their website. Unfortunately this must be an old video as quite a few of the features were not included or were now broken / damaged. Loved most of the apartment. I took some cool photos. Location great. Not too noisy but the dog next door does bark a bit.

    Needs a grab rail in the shower. (Great shower though). And a toilet roll holder stand. Oh...and a bread knife....and some spare light bulbs. Very minor suggestions, but they can make a bit of a difference.

    Everything! Especially the plate thing! Lots of fun! Location was great! So close to a long stretch of sandy beach and also the local town. Facilities in the apartment were first class. Lots of room. And such an eclectic collection of artwork that even us two pensioners never ran out of conversation pieces to chat about. Loved the Pacman machine too! A competition every evening! Brilliant. So enjoyable! Just 3 nights away but feels like 10 days to re-charge our depleted batteries! Thank you for sharing this with us.

    Could have done with a clothes airer. Had to wash some muddy clothes and there was nowhere to dry them. Not keen on paying a damage waiver with a £10 admin fee either.

    Kitchen facilities were weird! Full of electrical appliances but very few basics. For instance, one sharp knife and one saucepan and frying pan only, but no oven gloves, wooden spoons, measuring jug or bread knife. It's as if the owners didn't expect you to cook. Also, we found two TV remote controls hidden from view - one under a cushion and the other under the bed! Finally, one door handle fell off whilst we were there and others are becoming very loose.

    The location is just fine and parking was no problem in December. However, in the summer that might not be the case! Internally, the unique and quirky features were great.
