Guests say
Fisherman's Friend is a cosy and spacious holiday apartment praised for its comfortable beds, beachside location, and good heating. While some guests have highlighted areas for improvement, the property remains a popular choice for its proximity to the sea and as a base for walking and relaxation.
Cleanliness has been a concern with reports of dirty dishes, dustbin bags left outside, and pet hairs. However, some guests found the apartment clean upon arrival, indicating inconsistency in cleaning standards.
The location is highly praised for being opposite the seafront, offering easy access to the beach and town centre, making it an ideal spot for dog walking and seaside enjoyment.
Guests have consistently mentioned the comfort of the beds and the warmth of the apartment. Some concerns were raised about the suitability of seating for those with mobility issues.
Facilities have received mixed reviews, with guests appreciating the well-equipped kitchen and central heating, but noting issues with maintenance such as dripping taps, unusable freezer, and lack of a full set of crockery and glasses.
While some guests missed a welcome pack and suggested improvements for a more homely feel, there is not enough information to determine if gifts are a regular offering, and thus, it cannot be guaranteed.

Apartment is very spacious warm heating wise with central heating timed to come on most of the day. My only criticism is it’s in need of a good clean some tlc to compliment it. Ie curtains need re hanging due to having come of the rails. Shower in need of a good clean. Dripping tap in kitchen. Front door needing attention to lock with ease. Conservatory very drafty due to windows not fitted correctly ( assuming due to blinds blowing ) But overall very comfortable.

I was a bit apprehensive about the property before I arrived due to the previous reviews and no interior pictures. However, on arrival I was very impressed. Yes the accommodation is tide and looks like many happy holiday stays have been made here, but the beds are comfy, the shower is good and you have the beach is on your doorstep. I know the facilities are tied and a neglected and need some TLC but they are of good quality and if were updated you would be paying a lot more for this accommodation. I would recommend this apartment if you want somewhere cosy to stay with off street parking and the beach on your doorstep. Great base for those who like walking or if you just want to relax by the sea and watch the world go by. Not ideal for those who want 5* accommodation but pay budget prices. Will definitely book again.

Wouldn’t cancel even though a parent was having a serious operation two weeks before arriving. Could have changed the date but wouldn’t accept that either
