"Overall the house was lovely to stay in all the rooms were well furnished the beds were extremely comfy and we had a really good time."
However there was a consistent problem with doors and windows either not shutting properly or opening properly creating lots of drafts in the house. We also found some sort of box on the fourth floor next to the smoke detector which was a year past its recommended inspection which doesn’t suggest good maintenance. We also had a problem with at least two week old milk left to mould in the coffee machine which i notified the owner about on the first day but was not resolved until the last one which was very disappointing and the disjointed communication of not getting called back and receiving no reassurance or compensation for the problem only made it more frustrating.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We’re glad to read that you had a really good time but sorry to hear you experienced issues with opening and shutting doors and windows. We will investigate this, perhaps some of the recent refurbishment work has caused some new paint sticking
issues. The property has regular fire safety checks completed by an external company every 6 months, with the last inspection in December 2024 and the next one scheduled shortly. Thank you for reporting the coffee machine and it is very disappointing to hear that the cleaning had not taken place adequately. We always wish for guests to have the most comfortable and enjoyable stay at the property, so we send sincere apologies for all the inconvenience that this has caused. We did our best to resolve the problem, with Dream Cottages immediately arranging for a housekeeper to visit the following day. They called you twice, along with an email to confirm the time for the housekeeper’s attendance and to check
with you whether you would be happy for the housekeeper to enter the property in your absence. Unfortunately, as Dream Cottages were unable to gain contact with you, when the housekeeper visited she was unable to enter due to not having authorisation. After your call late afternoon that day
another visit was arranged for the following day. We do apologise for these inconveniences but are pleased to hear that you had a good time despite this. Once again, thank you for leaving your feedback and we would love to welcome you back to Seaside House.

Cannot recommend this beautiful house highly enough.

"From the second we walked into the property at the start of our stay we had a feeling of comfort."
The property was decorated for Christmas, it felt warm, cosy and inviting. The house adequately catered for the needs of our 12 guests. Ideally located for walking to the beach, harbour and shops.
Thankyou so much for a perfect stay!

We were a party of 10 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of space for everyone. A superb kitchen dining area if you wanted to self cater. We booked this as my husband did the Ironman,it was a great location for this event too.
There was a welcoming pack of lovely treats which was a lovely touch.
Would definitely book again.

"A wonderful holiday experience!"
A family time to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary, with our 2 daughters their husbands & 4 Grandchildren. The property was everything that it said it would be & more!! The rooms were spacious & had all the amenities that we could all possibly need! I honestly could not have been more delighted with the choice!
Thank you to the owner & Sykes Holiday Cottages for a truly memorable & joyous experience.

"Amazingly well equipped kitchen ."
Lovely decor throughout
The outside area could be improved aesthetically and add a bbq and a table to eat outdoors and the paintwork was unattractive
The main lounge doesn't work for watching the tv due to its position and the room could be a great games room with the addition of a pool table for wet weather entertainment and putting a tv over the fireplace to create an inclusive cinema room
All in all a great stay that with a few tweaks could be fabulous

We split the holiday and had 2 days with 10 women celebrating and then 4 days for 2 families. Both groups had such a great time. I never stayed in a holiday home that has everything covered. Everything has been thought of.

"Excellent location with close proximity to the sea and the town centre."
Ideal for all ages with two sitting rooms to accommodate young and older. The kitchen was well equipped with a very generous and well received welcome tray of goodies, a dining table to fit 12 and comfortable beds. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Dealing with the recyclable rubbish was a challenge as we couldn’t find any instructions.

"We had such an amazing stay!"
The accommodation was beautiful, clean and spacious. We had a ‘welcome package’ which was a lovely touch. The only suggestion we’d make is around the check out time. As a big family with young children, 10am was a bit of a rush. Other than that, we couldn’t fault it! Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again :D

We were a family with kids and there was space for all 12 of us to sit around the table and have our breakfast/ dinner and to play games. The house was also spacious enough, so we where not on top off ourselves.
Located 5 mins walk to the beach but quietly located from the hustle and bustle, perfect!

"What an incredible property!"
Such an ideal position and perfect for the multi generational family.
The thoughtful owner went above and beyond to provide equipment pertinent to our needs, and also provided a generous welcome pack.
The only quibbles we had were with the temperature in the very top room that might have benefited from a fan to cool it down.
The downstairs bedroom needed blackout blinds ideally to stop the light from street lights shining in.
Would happily go back and stay for longer!

"A really lovely place."
Great location with everything we needed to hand. Kitchen very well equipped. Perfect accomodation for multiple families. Very clean and well kept. Overall we had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend and/or book again if we were back in the area. Was great to have the extra car parking passes as we were 3 separate families.
The only one downside for us personally was temperature of rooms. The house was very warm when we arrived and we turned all of the radiators down unfortunately we couldn't work out how to turn down the heated towel rails in the bathrooms down which did make them a little uncomfortable at times. If we had been staying longer we would have contacted the owner to see if we could rectify but by the second night it was our last night anyway so didn't bother. I remember reading a review about someone saying they were cold in the property - the complete opposite for us lol!
Feedback for Sykes - we contacted Sykes through the app a few days before arrival with a question regarding the beds and bedding. This was responded to after we had actually been in the property one night already (so was too late) and didn't actually answer our question satisfactorily as it just literally copied what we could read on the website so that was a little poor. Absolutely no reflection on the property or property owner though.

"Wonderful property in excellent location."
Understand that the heating is set at various times. However given how cold it was last week it would have been appreciated if the heating had been on for an hour or so before 4pm so that it gave a warm and comfy feel opposed to us trying to find out how to boost it. Otherwise Wonderful.

A very nice property with all the mod con’s in a lovely location,
The only thing I would have a grumble about is the fact that I was expected to strip the beds and empty the dishwasher on the morning before we left the property, other than that I would recommend this property to all my family and friends
Thankyou for taking the time to write your review and I'm really pleased that you had an enjoyable stay at Seaside House. Thankyou too for bringing
these two issues to my attention.
I can see from Sykes Cottages advice around departures that guests are advised to
remove bed linen and empty the dishwasher, but I would like to note that the cleaning team are able to do both these things as it is recognised
how time consuming packing up can be. Thankyou again for taking the time to provide feedback and I hope to welcome you back to Seaside House again in the future. The Owner

There was so much space for us to spread out, very lucky to have both a huge dining room and living room areas. Location is literally minutes from the beach so really good. The house was decorated so luxuriously! It felt like a posh hotel, not a holiday house!
