    “I was prepared for the worst ahead of our visit to Coast and ended up very pleasantly surprised (and relieved) by the property and overall experience.”

    I don't normally write reviews, but given the many negative experiences at this property, I wanted to share my point of view. We booked earlier in the year, and subsequent reviews made me anxious about our stay, particularly about the condition of the double bed's mattress. After several attempts to reach Sykes, I eventually received a reply that they would look into this with the owner. A week later, they confirmed that a new mattress had been bought, which I was very pleased to ...

    I don't normally write reviews, but given the many negative experiences at this property, I wanted to share my point of view. We booked earlier in the year, and subsequent reviews made me anxious about our stay, particularly about the condition of the double bed's mattress. After several attempts to reach Sykes, I eventually received a reply that they would look into this with the owner. A week later, they confirmed that a new mattress had been bought, which I was very pleased to hear. Alongside the mattress issue, several other points were raised by reviewers, and I wanted to offer my opinion on them. Parking The underground car park is just across from the apartment block's entrance, and it is large. Getting in and out can be tricky with a big car, but we found we barely left, given the proximity to the beach and town. Unpacking You'll need to unload the car in the car park and walk everything over the road to the block; however, you can't pull up outside (as it's all double yellows). First Impressions My overriding initial impression of the property was how spacious it was, both in the rooms and the corridors, and how clean and tidy it was - which I know is a different experience to some of the reviewers here. I don't know whether the cleaners have been changed, but we found it spotless, and everything was in very good repair. Master Bedroom The mattress had indeed been replaced with a good-quality, sturdy one with a topper. We both slept very well across the week we spent at Coast. I think there was a note about the TV not working, but we didn't use either of them in the bedrooms. Kids Bedroom Everything was as it should be and both beds seemed decent. This and the kids' bathroom face out to ground level, but it's worth noting that the only guests with access to this part of the building are in the other three ground floor apartments, so there's minimal footfall outside. We kept both sets of windows shut overnight for security, however, as the apartment is accessible from the street via a side gate (which also gives you easy access to the steps to the train station and beach). Kids Bathroom This is massive and well set out. Some reviewers mentioned the window not closing, which we initially observed. However, after a bit of fiddling and pressure, we got it closed, and it functioned fine for the rest of the week. Bathrooms A general point on both bathrooms to note was that the water pressure and temperature control on both showers is great. Kitchen This has plenty of space, very clean modern appliances and a really good layout. There were plenty of plates and bowls (as noted earlier) along with everything else you'd expect. Lounge Like the mattress, I was expecting the worst with the sofas, but they were both fine. Yes, they're a little old, but they were both clean, had plenty of life in the cushions and were a good size. The larger sofa bed one sometimes needed the sofa bed part pushing back in, but apart from that they were good. Internet As mentioned in other reviews, it's not amazing - I got 11mb up and 0.5mb down - but it's enough to check email from. Outside Space Yes, the furniture isn't the newest, but it's perfectly usable, the cushions are clean, and you have an amazing view of the beach. Bonus Stuff There's a windbreak, buckets and spades, tennis and badminton racquets, games and books there, which I don't remember seeing mentioned, which meant we didn't need to buy some stuff. In Summary Having gone into this holiday fearing the worst, we ended up with it being one of the best we've had and would definitely stay here again.
