“Modern apartment in a quiet village just a short walk to the beach.”
A fellow dog walker recommended it to us & I'm waiting to see him to thank him, it helped us to unwind & relax over the week. The apartment is quite spacious & well kitted out, the only thing I could think of was a full length mirror so I could see my complete outfit from head to toe, the big mirrors in both bathrooms are great to put your make up on or style your hair. We’d only been in & looked around quickly when we thought, ‘ Wow, we could downsize & actually live here’. No garage or ...
A fellow dog walker recommended it to us & I'm waiting to see him to thank him, it helped us to unwind & relax over the week. The apartment is quite spacious & well kitted out, the only thing I could think of was a full length mirror so I could see my complete outfit from head to toe, the big mirrors in both bathrooms are great to put your make up on or style your hair. We’d only been in & looked around quickly when we thought, ‘ Wow, we could downsize & actually live here’. No garage or garden but there is a lovely balcony which catches the sun & has beautiful sea views, the furniture is really comfortable & if we hadn’t been reading our books I’m sure a nap might have happened. The two settees inside are really comfortable too & the double bed has a firm mattress with no sagging anywhere & is a dream to sleep on, I have a scoliosis & other problems from T10 down to the coccyx so if I find it comfortable it really is. The 2 single beds are really comfortable too & the room is spacious enough to move around easily. The towels are super big & soft & the bedding is the same, the owner hasn’t stinted on anything. The whole apartment is laid out in a modern, comfortable style & is done so nicely you instantly relax. There is really no noise from the neighbours inside or out, the young children in the ‘block’ are not any problem at all. Finally, the Welcome pack is very thoughtful & probably the best we’ve ever had, Freddie, our golden retriever was very happy with his goody bag which lasted all week & he was almost as comfortable as he is at home. The only drawback, which we only thought about the day before we actually left home, was the lack of a garden, our boy does like an early morning start so my husband had to get dressed & walk him down to the beach whereas at home we just open the back door but although a bit of a shock to the system the early mornings were really quite beautiful, we had glorious weather during our week, I’m not so sure a cold, wet week would have been as good but these things need to be seen to regardless. There’s no shop but the village is thinking of opening a communal shop but Seaton, a mile along the road, has 2 or 3 shops I believe I read but no idea what they sell. There’s a pub & a tapas bar just down the road to the apartment that’s well used so if you haven’t bought any food you won’t starve! The beach is black stoney sand & pebbles so a little uncomfortable & tricky to walk on but a stroll along the beach to Seaton you have far less pebbles & a softer sand. Maybe not suitable for the children to build sandcastles but Seaton’s sand would be better I think & it also has a really pretty woodland walk opposite the beach. If you’re looking for a relaxing, comfortable break then you won’t be disappointed with the Bolt Hole
