Overall the location is obviously the key selling point but we felt it was overpriced for the standard. It could be fabulous but needs a little tlc.

Perfect location for dog owners. Dog friendly beach with lovely views along the coast. Great to have parking. Clean but a little tired,could do with updating. Still good value.

The apartment is in a great position near to the beach and all amenities. It was modern inside, clean and tidy with everything we needed. Very dog friendly at West Bay.

Excellent location, very close to beach. Lovely area and locals are lovely. Amenities are good. Only down point is that the fridge, even on coldest setting did not keep food properly cool resulting in lots of food and milk being thrown away. This property has no washing machine which is a bit of a shame but apart from that had great stay

Good location, but parking not included which was a surprise on arrival and not very attentive owners when the outside door didnt lock or unlock.

Apartment had not been cleaned properly and crockery and cutlery we're dirty. Problems reported together with issues of bedroom storage.eg cupboard and rail only accessible by standing on bed. No satisfactory solution offered other than to go home for partial refund.
