  • "What a stunning flat with incredible views."

    The most comfortable beds and the sound of the sea to lull you to sleep. A beautiful place to recuperate after a tough year - thank you Tinker’s End! I’ll be back

  • "Shower broken on arrival and not fixed throughout our stay."

    Very hard to find the property, sign was covered by foliage overgrown. No plastic bags provided for dirty linen. Too much cleaning needed prior to leaving.

    Dear Sharon, We are sorry that the shower door was not fixed, parts had been ordered but unfortunately had not arrived in time to fix during your stay. We employ a great team of cleaners to come and do a thorough clean directly after each guest stay, but we do understand there was some confusion regarding the provision of bags for dirty linen. Our apologies for any misunderstanding and we will get that clarified in our welcome pack. We appreciate all feedback and hope that otherwise you had an enjoyable stay at Tinker's End.

  • "We absolutely loved the property BUT there was no washing machine which is bizarre when renting for a week at a time and by the seaside."

    If this was rectified I would come back. It didn’t occur to me that it wouldn’t have one I just thought it was a basic amenity. The view from the master bedroom was beautiful.

    Dear Victoria, thanks for your feedback and we are delighted you enjoyed the apartment at Tinkers End. Our apologies for any inconvenience, we are looking into this and will arrange in due course. Property Owner

  • "This was a really lovely property and I couldn’t fault the apartment."

    My only suggestion is the communal hallway could have done with a hoover and general clean. It’s first thing guests see and doesn’t reflect the rest of the property. Otherwise everything was very nice.

    Dear Fenella, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Tinkers End. Thanks for your feedback regarding the communal stairway, we will pass them onto the cleaning team. Property Owner

    It is well furnished and decorated with a really homely feel. The views over the beach are so lovely. We really enjoyed our stay.

  • "Chief reservation would be the lack of a WC near the master bedroom and the lack of a hand wash basin in the single WC."

    The apartment itself is of course in a unique position bordering the beach with its wonderful sea and sky views but we paid a premium for it.

    Dear Jennifer We are delighted that you enjoyed the location of Tinkers End bordering the sea with those wonderful views of sea and sky. We are sorry that the facilities did not quite meet up to your expectation- we have checked the listing and can see that it is not entirely accurate. We will get that amended. Thankyou for taking the time to give us your feedback. Property Owner

    The location, the parking, the detail within, it fitted our needs brilliantly and is the perfect location to go out and explore the historical importance of the area. Having said that, we did spend alot of the time in, just sitting listening to the sea. An amazing week, would certainly recommend.
