Sundowner

Negative: The bedrooms were too far apart for us with having a young child. This clearly isn't the hosts fault but it was a downside. There was not a working washing machine which is something that was advertised. The accommodation was also advertised as having parking. This was essential for us but was not strictly true.

Great weekend, perfect location a short walk to both the North and South Bay. Positive: The property was nice and modern and decorated to high standard. A great floor plan with great size bedrooms and good sized living area. Negative: Could have a table and chairs in the outside area.

A very pleasant stay, we would come back Positive: We stayed in the ground floor flat. It was clean and had everything we needed. It is also conveniently located a stones through from a one stop convenience shop. The beach is a short walk away. We had a problem with hot water during our stay, the host was extremely responsive and a plumber was there within an hour of me reporting it. These things happen but I was impressed with the rapid response. Negative: The stairway to the balcony area is precarious, it’s accessible but with care, however this didn’t hamper our stay at all.

Didn't quite hit the mark for us Positive: Nicely decorated and furnished apartment, great location, dog friendly. Had everything we needed for our stay. Negative: Parking - the information on here is bit misleading. You can park overnight if there is a space but need to move the car the next morning. Parking disc used by locals only enables 2-3hrs parking so you can't arrive and forget about the car unless you park in a paid carpark This is a basement flat with no view. We arrived late evening (7pm) on Friday and it sounded like the people upstairs were having a party and were noisy for quite some time. The rear bedroom has a mixture of awful smells, this was eye watering and we couldn't understand what it was so couldn't sleep in there, the ensuite in there also smells awful. There was NO hot water during our stay, we had to boil the kettle to wash the pots, and had no hot water in the shower. We only stayed for 2 nights and didn't want to spend our time phoning the owners and spoiling our short time away. For the price we paid for two nights - it left us feeling disappointed. Any other service would offer a partial refund as a gesture.

Servicible flat in good proximity to the North beach. Positive: Great ground floor flat, full amenities inc. dish washer, washer-dryer and microwave. En-suite toilet to the back bedroom. Front bedroom is large and next to the bathroom. Free on-road parking if you use a clock disc, with 2-3hrs free parking depending on which zone you are in, between 9-5 (12-5 Sun). You can move your car to another parking zone by the 2/3 hr time window. We stayed for 10nights, and I only ended up paying for parking when visiting Filey. No terrestrial tv channels, but plenty of my of smart apps to log in your own account and watch. Nearby store and takeaway, which proved handy several times. Towels, washing capsules for clothes and dishwasher provided. Never used the oven or hob, but they looked good. Negative: The small courtyard to the rear has been let go a bit, no longer like the photo and was unusable. The steps up out of it to the Queens Parade would be difficult for anyone with stair issues. Some noise from holidaymakers staying in the apartment above, particularly with their dogs barking or children running around a lot - but hey, they are wooden floors, so it’s pot luck as to who is staying there when you are. Not an issue for me personally.
