"Upon arrival to the site we were extremely impressed, it is so well maintained and well kept with not a thing out of place. We checked in with ease and completed the necessary paperwork and were handed the keys to our lodge. We stayed in lodge number 2 which is an S110609with an outdoor hot tub. Every lodge has its own block paved parking area which is particularly handy for the winter months. The lodge was immaculately clean inside and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, it looks exactly like the pictures on the website! They had even put up a christmas tree which i thought was such a lovely touch.The master bedroom has double bed with bedside tables complete with lamps eitherside and a clock radio....the first place iv ever stayed with one as i personally hate not knowing the time when i wake up. There is a dressing table with drawer space and mirror with a hair dryer. It has a large wardrobe and shelving unit so plenty of room to unpack. There is also an ensuite shower room.The main bathroom consists of a bath (no overbath shower) which isnt an issue for a family. One thing we forgot to tell them is that the lock didnt work on the bathroom door but maybe they will read this! In the hallway by the front door is a washer drier, ironing board, hoover etc. Also coat hooks on the wall which is useful in the winter.The twin bedroom had a bedside table between the beds with a lamp and also a large wardrobe so again plenty of storage. The living area was very cosy with reclining sofa, wall mounted tv, plasma fire and coffee table. Behind the sofa is a dining table with doors opening onto the veranda.Finally the kitchen is very well equipped, it has a fridge and seperate freezer, dishwasher (tablets included) oven amd hob, every size pan and oven dishes that you could need along with every utensil you could think of. There were a selection of different size glasses and plenty of cutlery and crockery. They provide tea towels, washing up liquid, sponge and cloth. I had taken all of this with us after previous experience of self catering accommodation but didnt need to. Also all bed linen and towels were provided too. Everything you need is supplied!The lodge has its own decked veranda with outdoor furniture and the hot tub.....the reason that we booked! We spent many hours in it over the 4 days and it was so relaxing. We had a slight hiccup with it on the first day whereby we had pressed too many buttons and it stopped heating. I went to speak with Paul the warden who came straight over and reset it. We had discovered a button sequence that had put it to sleep.....just our luck! You only need to press the jet button as everything else is preset, just a little tip so noone else makes the same mistake we did. One improvement that could be made is to make the area around the hot tub abit more private/secluded as you can see the entire site meaning that everyone can also see you.....being close to the entrance we had people walking past having a nose when you are laying there trying to relax in your bathers. Our daughter loved the hot tub too and couldnt wait to get back in as soon as she got up in the morning!There is a pub called the oystercatcher just outside the site (you go through their carpark to enter the site) so was a minute walk. We went for a meal and a couple of drinks on new years eve which was really nice and reasonably priced. There is a large tesco about a 5 minute car ride away.All in all, the lodge was beautiful, exactly as the pictures on their website, immaculately clean and fully equipped complete with lovely hot tub. We will definately return and highly recommend it!!"

"The bungalow is well located in a quiet street, near a dog friendly beach which has a green which extends alongside the beach over a large area. Although the rear garden is enclosed by conifers and a low wire mesh fence, that has seen better days on the boundary with no 6, this was not sufficient to allow our dogs to be in the garden without constant close supervision, as our Labrador proved when he nipped over the wire fence as soon as our backs were turned for a couple of seconds! At night the rear garden is very dark, as the only outside light is at the side of the bungalow, making it difficult to see to "pick up" after our dogs in the evening. The accommodation itself is roomy, the kitchen is well equipped, the double bed comfortable and the en suite shower room lovely. It would benefit from being de-cluttered especially the kitchen cupboards, which are full of previous visitors unwanted, half used sauces etc. As a result the inside of the kitchen cupboards were rather grubby as were the cupboard doors themselves. Obviously the cleaner has limited time and concentrates on changing beds and vacuuming carpets. Improvements to the bungalow appear to be done on the basis of the minimum possible, with a nice modern white vanity cupboard and sink in the bathroom, contrasting with a very old bright green enamel bath! We did enjoy our week in the bungalow and found it to be good value compared to other properties in the area and so will probably return in a couple of years time."

"This property is obviously still lived in. There was a lot of the owners property left lying around. The double wardrobe in the main bedroom was locked. Presumably owners clothes/property left in that piece of furniture. Plastic containers full of "stuff" shoved on top of the wardrobes. Cleaning equipment left under the kitchen sink, bathrooms etc. which consisted of worn sponge/scourer pads. (We took our own). The windows were filthy. Obviously a dog friendly property but one of the worst I have stayed in and I have been using different companies for around 10 years now. The carpet was stained from previous dogs visit. Also a smell of dog permeated the property. I do not know if a cleaner had been into the property. The beds were clean. There was food stuff left in the cupboards - one was a sponge cake that had expired 29 March. To say myself, mother and aunt were disappointed in this property would be an understatement. I have no problem in that some properties may be lived in but please note this property needed a good clean. I hovered the property on Friday and could not believe the amount of dog hairs collected from the carpets. (I have two small dogs - neither moult). If Sykes are to continue advertising this property I suggest a personal visit from a representative of Sykes check first. Apologies in that I cannot find something good to write and that this is a negative email."

"This is a lovely detatched bungalow in a residential area, but extremely quiet. There is off road parking for 2 cars and well manicured lawns, a gardener calls once a week weather permitting. The property is a little old fashioned and some of the furnature could do with replacing (especially the chairs in the diningroom which are thread bare). The property has two good sized bedrooms, one with a double and the second with twin beds, both are on suite. The kitchen is beautifully refitted and has all appliances, there is also a seperate dining room and lounge. Rustington is a lovely village and has an array of independant shops as well as supermarkets. I thoroughly recommend people to stay here but the property is so popular its booked pretty much all year round."
