Mr Shah September 2021

“We had a pleasant stay but would like to inform you that these were the issues that we reported and were told that someone would come around to sort.”

I’m afraid no one came around neither did we get a call back: 1. Kitchen tap lever coming off 2. Main bedroom: shower holder coming off the wall. 3. Unable to use the balcony table & chairs due to the rubbish falling from the top. Also not satisfied with the cleanliness of the balcony. 4. It was not great to have the recycling boxes outside the front door of the apartment.

Mrs Hewison September 2021

“Excellent position and facilities, the only drawback was the problem with parking.”

- Mrs Hewison, September 2021
Mrs Wall September 2021

“Lovely apartment with a great sea view.”

A great base to explore surrounding area. Plenty of space for 2 couples. Excellent facilities in the apartment- everything you could need. Parking difficult outside the building but this was stated in the description and used a local pay and display. Only problem we had was trying to use the t.v and dishwasher without any instructions. I think it would make it easier if an instruction folder was in the apartment for visitors.

Mrs Hrouda August 2021

“Fantastic holiday.”

Lovely property, in a great location, with absolutely stunning views. Couldn't have asked for more! Would love to return

- Mrs Hrouda, August 2021
Mr Read July 2021

“Fantastic place to stay with everything you needed.”

The views were great and quite happy sitting there on the balcony watching the boats go by. Near to the harbour and bars and restaurants - couldn’t have asked for more!!

- Mr Read, July 2021
Dr Reed June 2021

“Large balcony, fantastic view.”

Spotlessly clean. Very well-equipped kitchen. Only niggle is that the beds aren't very comfortable. The flat is packed with advanced electronica; an Idiot's Guide to using the WiFi, TV, heating, etc would be useful. You can surf the internet on the TV! The 1-hour restriction on parking only applies from 10am till 6pm. A 7-day permit for the car park costs £40; it can be full at weekends.

Mr Meredith June 2021

“Would probably put down Cheyne beach as the nearest car park, the bottom drawer of the fridge was not cleaned properly.”

A lovely holiday all round though.

mr Golding May 2021

“We were very pleased with the accommodation, with it's position, how to gain access and with the information provided on how to find it and where to park the car.”

Our only slightly negative comment is that you didn't warn us how close the property is to the sea and how utterly mesmeric watching the sea is. We had to drag ourselves from the balcony and the windows to go and investigate the delights of Victorian Ilfracombe. Thank you we had a very enjoyable time. Denis Golding

Mrs Silver September 2020

“Absolutely fabulous seaview from living area.”

Apartment had every home comfort. Because of Covid restrictions you really need to pre-book restaurants to stand any chance of getting a reservation! Small maintenance issue with the fridge door. It didn't line up properly so needs a good push to ensure the door was closed.

- Mrs Silver, September 2020
Mrs Lee August 2019

“We were most impressed with,the excellent view,the many facilities,& a great thought in supplying,all the requirements we could possibly need.”

This, without doubt is the best holiday we have had. Thank you Linda Lee

- Mrs Lee, August 2019
Mrs Anelay August 2019

“Load noisy flat, drunk people hovering outside.”

Poor quality items inside. A tv from the 80s that needed 3 remotes to turn on, buzzing all the time it was on. Fridge dirty and on last legs making a horrible noise all night. A balcony with bird poo on that gets 0 sun all day. Bread bin full of someone else's food, dirty utensils.

- Mrs Anelay, August 2019

The Owners are sorry for the standard of cleaning and have alerted our management company. They are reviewing equipment and replacing items as required. They have no control over the noise level of people outside and have had no complaints over the last two years about this. The balcony is cleaned regularly but there will always be seagulls flying about and leaving droppings,due to the location right on the sea with the most wonderful panoramic view across the water over to Wales Property Owner
Mr Smedley July 2019

“This was our third consecutive year at Oceanside and the location is ideal.”

Parking is the only slight issue but we soon discovered how convenient parking a few minutes walk away, with no problem in 3 years, solves this issue. Parking tickets available at the tourist information centre and this year cost £41.00 for a 2 week stay.

- Mr Smedley, July 2019
Miss Rayfield June 2019

“The apartment was absolutely spotless (thankyou Hilary & co?”

). The location was second to none and perfect for a very short stroll into town. We were especially impressed with the welcome pack as many times we have arrived so somewhere with not so much as a drop of water. Our only criticism would be the TV was quite old and could not be used with any of the modern day devices. The standard of linen/towels/bedding etc was excellent and does make a difference to our stay. We will definitely stay there again.

- Miss Rayfield, June 2019
Mr Horne June 2019

“Everything was fantastic.”

Incredible view, lovely spacious apartment that was well designed and comfortable. Was better than we hoped it would be.

- Mr Horne, June 2019
Mr Mcmillan May 2019

“The only problem that we had is that we couldn't get wifi no matter we tried.”

I had a live chat with sykes and she gave me another code which was an old one. It didn't affect the holiday at all though. Just wanted to let you know for future. The key in the key safe out side the property for the yale lock is broken. It does open the door but takes a lot of trying

Lovely apartment with outstanding views very well equipped and very central to all amenities we had a lovely week there and hope to go back again sometime

Miss Bird July 2018

“Fabulous holiday.”

The apartment was light and airy and the sea was just below us. Fantastic falling asleep listening to the waves. Lovely balcony area to sit out on. The harbour and shops are just around the corner and easily accessible. Can't wait to go back. Perfect summer holiday.

- Miss Bird, July 2018
Mr Ocallaghan June 2018

“The apartment was just perfect.”

The furnishing, the décor, the location were all better than advertised. Usually when you stay in somebody else's home it doesn't quite feel right, you know that it's not your home because things aren't as you'd have them, sometimes it's only the smallest of items but it is enough to be noticed. Oceanside was just perfect, everything was just felt right from the moment we walked in the door. The location was amazing with the view out over the Bristol Channel stunning and it's not many locations where you have breakfast with the rising sun shining on you and then supper with the setting sun twinkling on the ice in your G&T. The partment is like Mary Poppins - Perfect in Every Way.

- Mr Ocallaghan, June 2018

Great service by phone helping us to book 4 nights Apartment was brilliant with the best location- sea view amazing and outside balacony a bonus

“The beautiful location was what made the holiday, with its wonderful view of the sea and sky.”

We also loved the style and decor in the apartment, so light and bright and everything we needed was provided.
