Guests say
Fisherman's Friend offers spacious, comfortable accommodation in a superb seafront location, making it an ideal base for beach lovers and walkers. Guests consistently praise the large rooms, well-equipped kitchen, and exceptionally comfy beds. The property is dog-friendly and benefits from off-street parking and a pleasant outdoor area. While some minor maintenance and cleanliness issues are noted, these do not detract from the overall positive experience. The apartment is particularly valued for its homely feel and excellent access to local amenities, with many guests returning year after year.
Cleanliness is generally adequate, with clean bedding and towels frequently mentioned. However, several reviews highlight the need for a deep clean, particularly regarding windows, soft furnishings, and the shower. Some guests noted issues with leftover items from previous occupants and occasional pet hair. Cleanliness appears to vary depending on the time of season.
The location is highly praised, with the property situated just across from the seafront and within easy walking distance of the town centre and local amenities. Guests love the proximity to the beach and promenade, making it perfect for dog walking and seaside relaxation.
Comfort is a standout feature, with many guests highlighting the spaciousness, cosy atmosphere, and especially the very comfortable beds. Some mention that the lounge furniture is a little low for older guests, but overall, the property is described as warm and inviting.
Facilities are generally good, with a large, well-equipped kitchen and useful amenities such as off-street parking and a conservatory. Some maintenance issues are noted, including dripping taps, tired décor, and occasional appliance problems. Guests appreciate the outdoor seating area, though a few suggest it could be better maintained.
Several guests mention the absence of a welcome pack or basic provisions, which are sometimes expected in similar properties. While some items like tea and coffee may be left by previous guests, these are not guaranteed. There is also a lack of a guest handbook and feedback book, which some visitors would appreciate.

We absolutely love the Fishermans friend apartment. It is just across the road from the sea front. The apartment is so spacious, conservatory, huge kitchen, Lounge, bathroom and a separate WC. The master bedroom is so comfortable, the bed was lovely though the pillows weren't very comfortable. We knew that from a previous visit so took our own. The second double bedroom was an ok size too.The apartment could do with a little attention to detail. The blinds are a mess. The windows were dirty and the outside patio area needed weeding. The apartment needs a good deep clean though it was adequate for our stay. The pro's definitely outweigh the cons and we will hopefully book again next year.
