Guests say

The Boat House at Tides Reach receives high praise for its spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated interiors, excellent proximity to the beach, and peaceful setting. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and thoughtful touches throughout. The property is dog-friendly and suitable for those with mobility needs. While there is no garden, outdoor seating and nearby green spaces are available. Some guests noted occasional noise from nearby building works, but overall, the property is highly recommended for a relaxing seaside break.

Cleanliness is consistently highlighted, with multiple guests describing the property as spotlessly clean, tidy, and well-maintained. Only one review mentioned dust due to external building works, but this did not reflect the interior cleanliness.

The location is frequently praised for its proximity to the beach, peaceful surroundings, and easy access to local amenities and attractions. A few guests mentioned temporary building works nearby, but most found the setting tranquil and ideal for walks.

Guests found the accommodation very comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds, a cool interior during hot weather, and suitability for those with mobility issues. The lack of a garden was noted by some, but did not significantly detract from overall comfort.

The property is described as well-equipped, with modern appliances, quality furnishings, and thoughtful extras such as beach towels and deckchairs. The absence of a garden was the main drawback, but outdoor seating and nearby green spaces were appreciated.

Many guests commented on thoughtful touches, such as a welcome bottle of wine, dog treats, and well-stocked essentials. Please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, but the hosts' attention to detail is widely recognised.

    A lovely place to stay in a peaceful part of the world. Lovely to be close to the beach. The property was well equipped and spotlessly clean with everything we needed for a short break.

  • Lorraine

    Second time here & would highly recommend it. Seconds from the beach & short walk to shops & restaurants. Well worth a visit.

  • Confirmed Guest

    This was a fantastic holiday cottage, highly appointed and a perfect location for a beach holiday. Other amenities are nearby, should you want to venture out. I would highly recommend it.
