• "Ocean View is beautifully situated overlooking the sea and promenade."

  We enjoyed the view very much. The flat was nicely furnished and the beds were comfy, but there were a few issues that let it down and prevented me from giving it full marks. Despite being superficiality clean, a few items need urgent attention. As another visitor has previously reported, there is an unpleasant smell in the en suite bedroom, especially when the window is closed. We did wonder if the source is in the shower cubicle. The water is very slow to drain and the build up during showering is causing the formation of an unpleasant brown sludge around the edges of the cubicle, especially at the end where the drain is. I suspect bacteria is growing here and it made us feel uneasy about using the shower. The drain needs to be unblocked and the edges of the cubicle scrubbed with diluted bleach to clean them. The other main issue we found was that the oven is filthy. The first time I turned it on the flat was filled with the stench of rancid hot fat. I discovered that the grill pan was full of left over fat from a previous guest. And whilst I acknowledge that for a guest to leave it in that state is completely unacceptable, it should have been checked and the oven itself is in desperate need of a good clean. I know the weekly cleaner won’t have time to do this, but there are companies who will clean an oven to look almost like new in a couple of hours and there is time for this to be done on a change over day. On a less urgent note, the freezer compartment in the fridge needs defrosting. Having read previous comments about the flat being spotless and the owners’ comments about their high standards, it was disappointing to find the flat was not as clean as we had expected. However, if I was reassured that the problems I’ve highlighted had been addressed and not simply denied, as seems to have happened in the past with the issue of the bad smell, then I would consider booking Ocean View again if only for the glorious view.

  Firstly apologies for the tray with fat being left in the oven. This would have been an oversight as our housekeeper is usually extremely thorough. We have just stayed here for a maintenance week ourselves and found no smell on arrival and are pleased to report we found no issues. We checked the drain in the shower and as expected there was no problem. The oven was in good clean order as were the trays. The apartment is always maintained to a very high standard which makes it very disappointing to hear such comments in your review. If you had contacted us or Sykes when you noticed anything amiss we would have been there within the hour to resolve them. Property Owner

• "A warm, welcoming apartment in a quiet block with excellent facillities."

  We found the owner extremely kind and helpful. Lovely views along the beach from this great seafront position. Amazing sunrises enjoyed with a coffee on the balcony. Ideally situated for exploring North Wales by car and for a slow stroll to restaurants or pubs in Rhos (20 mins) or Conway (15 mins) for a meal. There's also The Toad bistro pub less than five minutes away and supermarkets within walking distance too.

  Thank you so much for your 5* review. We work very hard maintaining high standards for our guests. Property Owner

• "Fantastic stay at ocean view."

  . The apartment was lovely, clean and with everything we needed. Personally I would prefer firmer pillows and definitely larger bath towels (being a larger lady), but we have stayed several times now and Ocean View never disappoints. Its delightful to open the door to the juliet balcony and watch/listen to the sound of the sea.

  Thank you for your review. The view is incredible from the apartment. Property Owner

  The views from the windows and balcony were so lovely. Everything provided for in the apartment to make it feel like home. We were so pleased with the apartment we have booked it again for September. The weather could have been a bit sunnier but hey ho it did stay dry and did not stop us going out and sight seeing.

• "The third consecutive visit to Ocean View and the high standard of accommodation has remained constant throughout our visits."

  In our view this must be one of the best locations in Rhos on Sea / Colwyn Bay as you look out over the clean sands, watching the world go by and in the distance after the now completed excellent promenade is Rhos on Sea, within walking distance for most people. We have a motorised mobility scooter in the boot of the car and when taken out to use on the length of the promenade it is no problem from Ocean View. As this is our fourth visit to this apartment block, again we are of the opinion that this is the apartment to reserve. We have visited most places locally before, so this time it was a change just to sit looking out of the windows and relaxing.

  We are glad you had another great staying in Ocean View. It’s lovely watching the world go by or taking a stroll on the newly renovated promenade. The new kiosk’s should be up when you visit next time. Property Owner

• "We had a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing holiday."

  The property was clean, comfortable, warm, furnished to a high standard and well maintained. There was a welcome bottle of milk and wine as well as a selection of teas. The sea view from the apartment is spectacular and we enjoyed watching the changing colours of the sea. There is a pub almost next door serving food and it is an easy flat walk along the prom to Rhos on Sea. We hope to return and have already recommended it to friends

  Thank you for your lovely feedback. The Toad is a lovely pub with delicious food and a refreshing drink. Property Owner

• "Very conveniently located to explore the area, Llandudno, Snowdonia , Cheshire oaks , Liverpool were all visited during our stay."

  Lovely views along the promenade overlooking the sea, sit on the sofa in lounge or on the balcony . Washer dryer , Tumble dryer , small fridge with small ice box , fan oven with hob . Ensuite in main bedroom and a bathroom with a shower over in the hallway. Nice and cosy apartment and everything you need for a lovely stay, which was our 2nd . The apartment isn't advertised as a suitable place for people with disabilities but as our Daughter is paralysed left side it worked for us although I would state the beds are rather high and she found getting in a little bit of a challenge as she's limited in movement . Disabled space at rear of the building but it's never vacant so luckily the car space in the secure under ground car park was perfect as the lift is accessible to all floors. I will add the spaces are difficult to negotiate with a larger car due to limited turning space which I could see being a problem for a not so confident driver. As stated it's ideal for people with limited functions it would be nice and ideal if a shower chair could be stored in the apartment so people don't have to bring one along . Overall such a lovely place to stay , beautiful area, very clean and if you visit Llandudno I recommended eating at Harvey's American bar and grill .

  We don’t advertise the apartment as being suitable for people with disabilities because we don’t offer adaptations. The car park underground is steps away from the lift so no need to use the disabled car parking space. This is the first review we have been given 75% for cleanliness and comfort which I don’t understand because our housekeeper is extremely thorough and the apartment is regularly maintained. We checked the apartment after receiving this review and found everything to be of our usual high standards. Property Owner

• "We have stayed at Ocean View many times now it is a lovely apartment."

  There was someone hogging the blue badge parking space at the back of the building but we managed to work round this. Not sure if the rules are different on private property? Our main issue was the mattress in the ensuite bedroom needs replacing it is very uncomfortable to sleep on and there is an unpleasant smell in that room the cause of which I couldn't pin down. I have emailed the owner about this separately as it needs sorting. Otherwise this is a good holiday base, great views and a newly improved beach/prom that are fabulous. Even if your not a beach fan you can walk (or use a scooter if you have mobility problems) for miles, it's lovely.

  We are happy you enjoyed your stay. With regards to your comments the mattress has recently been replaced, however we understand that people have individual preferences. We investigated the aroma and are pleased to confirm that there is no issue. The apartment is always maintained to a very high standard. Just as a note all guests have their own dedicated underground parking bay which is only 5 m away from the lift which caters for any disability. Property Owner

  I am unsteady on my feet and loved having the disabled access through the back door. One thing which would have made my stay better would have been to have a grab handle in the shower and a longer mat on the shower floor. I didn’t feel safe in the shower and the flooring was slippy. Otherwise everything was fine.

• "We think this was at least our 7th stay at Ocean View in 5 years?"

  I am disabled and for guests who have mobility issues there is a disabled space at the backdoor to unpack, all level access. The communal corridor is wide and always beautifully maintained. The car park space is dug-out under the flat with remote controlled electric doors so no need to get out to unlock, a very smart lift goes up to the ground floor from the carpark to outside the flat. I happily move around no steps, please note there is a lip on the shower however, its a double solid based shower with movable shower head and plenty of room for my shower seat, not many lets have a double shower and large bathrooms as Ocean View, hot water is unlimited. Apartment is warm and if you are like me taking meds that make me hot and cold at the blink of an eye easy to regulate tempreatures. With sea views from every window this is an immaculate, well maintained, luxury apartment in a great location with great access and security provision for me. We have found, year on year, all wear and tear is not only just corrected but new items are improvements on old. The new TV system is lovely and stylish large glass table more practical, wipe clean and fitting for four people with plenty of leg room under for me. Owners are easy to contact and a delight. Nearest Electric Vehicle rapid charging point is on the promenade.

  The apartment is always maintained in a "new" like condition, walls are never marked and most important everything works. I am disabled and access is all on one level from the rear entrance or use the rather flash Otis lift from the secure basement carpark. Over the years we have thought no improvements were possible if you start at such a high standard but new owners have added more personal touches, we had one wee question for the owners and they are easy to contact and solved immediately, to be honest it was a daft question lol. I am aware that I am probably shooting myself in the foot with this review as its already been a challenge over the years getting weeks here. There is one window behind the settee with no sea view all other doors and windows have sea views, sunrises are beautiful. There are no "noisy or nosy" neighbours and the communal area's are spotless, the new promenade just gets better and better and not a scrap of litter. Locally, in Rhos, we like the whole food shop for bread and the little wholesome bakery next door for our picnic snacks. Fish and chips in Rhos are exceptional and, during these strange lockdown times, remember even ASDA does a scallop en croute, side, dessert and wine for £10. We had a lovely break!
