A well kept property in a quiet road offering all you need for a self catered holiday and with friendly neighbours too! Clean and bright a real home from home and weâre looking to book again! The double bed could benefit from a new mattress as quite uncomfortable and the bushes in the back garden need cutting back and on one side, the garden bench is being devoured by the honeysuckle which we had to wrestle with to set free. A great dog friendly property I thoroughly recommend and appreciated the info pack provided.

A 3 bedroom mid terrace house. Very spacious living room, fair sized dining area. 2 double and 1 small bedroom. We only used 1 bedroom which was very comfortable. The house was nice and cool inside during the very hot spells. Kitchen was pretty well stocked and anyone could cook any meal without any problems. A good shower and plenty of hot water. We never used the TV so can't comment, wi fi good indoors . If anyone is on O2 there is no mobile connection, despite their map saying there is. 4g in West bexington is non existent. Gripes, no oven gloves, no grater,only 2 dishwasher tablets and no spare toilet roll. As a gardener I found the very basic garden care frustrating! Would we go back? Definitely consider it, very good base, friendly neighbours and a choice of 2 good places to eat. Lots to explore, especially if you are a walker. The beach is large shingle and mainly used by beach fishers, swimming only advised if you are competent and strong.

Comfortable seating and bedding, most things you should need in the ample sized kitchen/diner although the hob extractor is quite useless at extracting!! Replacing the missing door between the kitchen and lounge would be a good idea to stop cooking smells and toddlers going where they shouldn't. Garden was ok. The second parking space is only any good if you have a small car, something you're only told AFTER booking. A short walk to the beach. Overall a nice cottage, would we book again? probably. A word of warning, you're asked to clean the whole place before leaving to help the cleaners, strange!!! Not sure if this is a Sykes thing or the owners.
