A great place to stay very clean, and a good size. Great with the dogs to have an enclosed area outside, and some grass garden. Also great to have parking for 2 cars. Walking distance to the town and beach (although up a hill on the way back!). Will defiantly look to return.

We had a lovely stay at Sunny Place which is a beautiful apartment. For us the location up the hill was fine however the only negatives were a few aspects of the cleaning. Cleaning service needs to be improved. Unfortunately the underfloor heating had been turned off and it took 24 hours to warm up.

It would have been nice to know that access was via very steep hills which is hard for people with a disability or an age, My wife and i could not walk to the town or the pier. When a repair was completed on our second day we were left keys which did not fit the two gates which was a nuisance. .

This is the second year at Sunny place. Parking is excellent and it has its own enclosed south west facing patio. Its great also for anyone with mobility issues as all on one level. If there was a down side, its a bit of a walk, if you have mobility issues to the bin store. However overall its a great place to stay.

A very new property, decorated very nicely, with comfortable seating, a nice TV and with 2 parking spaces a bonus. Great location, although not for older people who are unable to walk up the hill from the seafront. A bonus to have an outdoor table and chairs. A nice and comfortable, spacious apartment. A few negative points - it would have Read morebeen really nice to have had the welcome pack, as after a long drive on arrival, to have to then go out and buy milk for a cup of tea, when we had expected milk to be there was not ideal. We couldn't believe that in such a new property, the toilet rolls were not fixed to the wall. We have never stayed anywhere before where there was only 1 dishwasher tablet, half a toilet roll in each of the bathrooms - used and handled by the previous people I suspect - and only one bin liner for the main bin, which is not enough when self-catering. When using the oven for the first time, so much smoke came out that it kept setting the smoke alarms off many times and the oven tray was greasy and dirty. A few of the main cooking utensils were also dirty. There did not seem to be a way of fixing the plugs so a bowl of water could be used to shave/wash in (in both bathrooms), so this had to be done under a running tap. The blind fixing/pulley in one of the bedrooms did not work, so the blind had to be put up and down by turning the roll. Hide

Really nice place but please please please sort out the beds. They are so squeaky. Particularly the one without the en-suite. Such a shame it just takes the edge off having a 100% positive experience. Please get new bed bases - could even be a new divan base - mattress is fine. Thanks and please let me know you have read this. Thanks

Lovely flat. spacious and in excellent condition.unfortunately the beds and mattresses were very cheap and uncomfortable. otherwise the scores would have been much higher.

The main reason for a lower score on comfort was due to the bed. The mattress was uncomfortable and thin and the bed frame is made of steel with steel cross members which made noises every time I moved in the bed. This reason alone would stop me from booking this accommodation again.
