"This apartment was fabulous. The views over the sea from the decked area and sofa were lovely. It was quiet - just as we wanted it to be. There are 6 apartments in a row, each is two story. We could hear noises from the apartment above but not so bad that it caused any issues. The ground floor apartments (like S86046) have the larger decked area and the bonus of the decking above protecting you from the elements. We was there in Dec/Jan so lots of wild weather! I read a couple of reviews that said there was no washing machine or a DVD player. The washing machine is located in a lean to shed structure at the side of the grey Manor House. There is also a path through the garden of the manor house which is a short cut down when walking to the main road. Stan the caretaker told us about a new Chinese Restaurant that has opened a short distance away near the beach car park. We went twice - the food was incredible. They do takeaway also - collection only.I was very disappointed with the wifi. I could get nothing and when I queried this with the caretaker he said it is a bit hit and miss and he would get on to the provider. We had no wifi our entire stay plus I could get no mobile reception either (i'm with EE). If you need to be able to connect to the outside world - this probably isn't the apartment for you! I don't think a property should be advertised with wifi when it definitely didn't have any in the apartment we stayed in. Ours was the end apartment (farthest away), I am not sure if the other apartments have wifi.We didn't see any managers/owners our entire weeks stay and there is no information about the area, the property on site. If you have any questions Stan the caretaker is very helpful and he attends the hot tub every morning. Also he left his mobile number to contact him if needed. Again though good luck with mobile reception! We left a voice mail for him when we could get through and he did come straight round."

"S33561 has the most beautiful view. The apartment has an excellent layout. The hot tub is wonderful and although it’s on your own balcony it’s hardly private. A welcome box awaits you but don’t expect to find any local goodies in it, it’s got goodies from Tesco’s promotion ends in it. The apartment on first glance looks clean. There are dust balls under the furniture. You can see the wipe marks all over the kitchen units and furniture. The patio windows are full of dog marks, as well as the soft furnishings bearing the reminder that a dog had been staying. In the bathroom the shower cubicle is full of mould with a beautiful piece of mildrew on the shower head. The blinds in there are also mouldy. The wardrobe in the main bedroom is full of bedding and Christmas decorations so no room for you to hang up your clothes. The mattress is quite thin and had better days, needs replacing. Very uncomfortable to sleep on. The only room that had all lightbulbs working was the main bedroom. A shocking amount of lightbulbs not working! There are various pieces of paper around the apartment telling you where to empty the bins and how to get more hot water. Why not put it all in a welcome folder with ideas and suggestions what to do locally. Might also be helpful to let you know how to operate the underfloor heating. It was only on in the main room. The boiler is also in the wardrobe in the main bedroom and makes noises all night long. No DVD player, even though it was listed. Watch out for the man that comes every morning to check on the hot tub. No mention of that anywhere! This apartment is marketed as luxury and could well be if someone was taking a bit more care with it. However there is a distinct air (not including the smell of mould) that it is not loved and taken care off."

"Advertised as "Newly listed Property" ,which gave the wrong impression, however it should have read "Newly renovated property" although this would have been a misnomer. Our telephone phone call advised time of arrival. Nobody to meet us on arrival, and nobody, owner or caretaker visited us during out stay.On arrival we were greeted with a packet of Welsh cakes and a bottle of Rosy wine called"The ugly Pig" and from Australia. It is recognised that most people drink Red or White wine, and Wales produces it's own excellent wine.Bathroom. We had to run the hot water tap for 5 minutes before any hot water and then it was never very hot . Neither the Bathroom or the downstairs Toilet had spare Toilet rolls.Downstairs Toilet and shower room had a rusty soap holder in the shower, the light over the basin was very dim,(also the upstairs bathroom) The Shower control "Mira" controls were poor with only a trickle of water. The Toilet seat made of wood refused to stay in the upright position,consequently it fell down with hinges that were rusty and covered with green mould. When entering ,the Light switch also turned on the Fan, with no opportunity to turn off the fan when not in use. The constant loud noise was more than irritating.None of the doors, including the bathroom, had hooks on the inside, therefore we were unable to hang our clothes or a dressing gown when taking a shower or a bath.Lounge: Of the two ceiling lights only one was working.Kitchen: No instructions for appliances. Out of 4 worktop lights only one was working. There were no scales or colander, and no light over the cooker.Some double glazing panels had disintegrated, thus spoiling the view."

"Basic apartment, one double and two bunk beds. Bunk beds only Suitable for children up to about 12 yrs. I would call this luxury in any definition of the word luxury.Lovely balcony with the hot tub, but as the apartment is dog friendly a gate would be useful, especially as there were dogs in most of the 20 apartments.Laminate flooring throughout and the decoration was all magnolia, but not done to a very high standard.Kitchen equipment and crockery was limited and basic, so much so that we did not use the dishwasher it would never be full.Furniture was a sofa, a chair, table and four chairs and a coffee table in lounge dinerDouble bed, wardrobe and two bedside cabinets in master bedroom with bedside lights.Two bunks and a chest of drawers in second bedroom but no lamp. Master bedroom lacked a dressing table.There were no blinds in the bathroom. The bedrooms had blinds but no curtains.The balcony was nice but the one above was also made from decking so rain dripped through and so did water when occcupants above used hot tub. Luckily their dog did not wee on their balcony.Stan the Caretaker was very helpful and came round each morning to attend to the hot tub.BT Broadband was very good and tv worked fine, as did the DVD playerA car is a must as it is a long walk down to Pendine and facilities are geared towards the caravan park and holiday makers."

"Whilst the beach was very long, there was limited access to it and not a great deal else that took our fancy locally. The view from the property is stunning but there were a few internal things that spoiled our enjoyment.Many of the plates and cutlery had hard food deposits on them. The dinner plates did not fit in the dishwasher or microwave and there wasn't a drop of washing up liquid left to wash them in the sink. The fridge freezer made a loud rattling noice on and off and through the night this disturbed our sleep significantly. There was no digital signal to the TV which would have been good for the kids. The cupboard to the right of the dishwasher has a hole for the dishwasher plug access where a shelf support should be so when a pan was removed from it glasswear was tipped out. The light in the bathroom is on a sensor and stayed on for a max of 10 seconds at a time and not at all when children were in the shower. The extractor fan in there was filthy. Bathroom lights had a number of dead bees in them and the toilet roll holder was loose rendering it useless. There is a significant crack in the floor tiles going into the twin bedroom leaving a sharp edge. Most of these are easy to solve problems and would improve everyone's enjoyment of the accommodation."
