Peter

We had a very enjoyable stay at Sea Gem. The property had a particular good layout with a large bedroom with a comfortable king size bed and bathroom downstairs. With Three good bedrooms upstairs and a spacious lounge/diner, it was ideal for our stay. The property is a good walk to the Pier and Centre but on the flat and manageable. No major complaints.

Rosie

The good Location Size Bedding etx The poor The location is just perfect and great size property but rusting peeling kitchen equipment and very very tired furniture such as sofa that felt like weâ??re almost sat on floor, really let it down given how much paid for a week. The front garden was quite overgrown. This house could be amazing with some TLC

Warm and comfortable well appointed house. Stayed 2 weeks and middle weekend change of linen etc and cleaning was well organised and unobtrusive.

Tim

Premises well situated for walking the promenade and beach. Downstairs bedroom and bathroom useful. Some things did not work and instruction booklet poor. Furniture looks tired and could do with updating. Garden needs a good tidy up.
