West End Bay

Brought us sunshine!

Pros: It looks lovely but is also a really functional and brilliantly located house. Form and function, beauty and brains. Easily the best 'private residence' I've ever booked. And round the corner is a cracking butchers and bakers (Kennedys) for breakfast buns, pies, cakes etc.

Cons: The street is clearly a work in progress and parking spaces weren't always readily available but were largely cost free once you found one in nearby streets. There is a single parking space at the back of the property but not the easiest to access currently due to scaffolding and neighbours' bins left out. Our group ended up going in 5 cars but always found a space nearby so not really an issue but worth knowing in advance. One minor gripe, once the booking was confirmed via booking.com you are transferred to the agent Sykes Cottages thereafter but the booking reference did not work and it was a real struggle to speak to somebody. Don't let that put you off though as the house itself is great as is the info on arrival.

Pros: Fantastic house, plenty of space and great condition. Kitchen well equipped and finished to a high spec. No onsite parking but plenty on street parking close by.

Cons: Outside the house can be quite noisy - but nothing the owner can do regarding this.

Lovely house, close to the front and was ideal for my large family get together

Pros: Nice big house, quite close to the front. Very clean, lovely kitchen and facilities.

Cons: Everything was great

Pros: The house is lovely and clean and spacious. And it's located close to the beach and town center.

Cons: The parking at the rear of the house is appalling. It takes such a difficult manover to get in and out that we scratched our car on more than one occasion. Also, people who we didn't know blocked the way into the space, which meant we had to park quite a distance away and pay for parking.
