  The location of this property is fantastic, there is a 'private' route to the beach but this wasn't the easiest of routes so we just walk a couple of minutes down the road and used the access from The Seagull car park.

  Brean Leisure Park and Splash Park are an easy walk in the other direction and there are a number of places to eat, we only used the car to go shopping and for a few longer visits. Everything inside the property was not great, which was a real shame. It was dirty, covered in dust and other 'things'. The list below has been provided to Sykes with photographs but looking at other reviews on here and other Trip based Advisor websites we are not the first to raise them. No blind in the bathroom - the fixings are rusting away on the wall, but no blind (not great when a painters head appears a foot away from the window!) Black mold on the shower curtain (still) A shower pole that falls on you if you pull the shower curtain to hard A large gap between the end of the bath and the wall - be careful with what you place on the end of the bath A very 'sticky' kitchen - we made a clean bit on the top of the fire blanket holder, Rusty kitchen equipment - cheese grater, toaster, microwave Very, very, very hot water - please BE CAREFUL The top of both wardrobes thick with dust - you don't want to store anything up there Dental floss stick, finger nail and used tissue found in the additional bedding under the bed settee (nice!) The lounge fan blades thick with black dust - we didn't dare turn it on Not the most secure of front doors Considering you are currently being asked to check in later at the moment, so additional cleaning can be completed I imagine, I have no idea what this additional time is being used for. Oh and one last thing - don't look at the double mattress until you are leaving......its probably for the best. The only thing that was sorted was when the blocked drainage caused the sink to overflow with water from the washing machine that then leaked into the apartment downstairs. Yes, we did raise all of these issues with Sykes but for the second week of our fortnight break nothing was sorted. What really made it was when people attended to fix the plumbing issue (including the owner) but that was all that was done. The floss, finger nail and tissue remained in situ! I really, really hope that these things are addressed as it could be a great holiday let.

  Stay was made into a mini break as we had a funeral to attend in the area.

  Was good value for what we paid but there are some things which could be easily rectified to make the stay here better. Needs a better clean, cobwebs hanging from second bedroom, lampshade needs a good vacuum, stuff under the single bed (bottle of water) under sofa too was missed items so clearly overlooked (pompom thing which we left near the bin) Tooth flosser down the side of the sofabed - still there for you to dispose of! The towels were supposed to be white but in our opinion needed to be thrown away or used for pet towels. Lots of mark/stains on them all and had to sort through to find the best of a bad lot. Very small too, larger person staying here would have an interesting body dry on such small towels if you are used to a bath sheet for example. Bath plug needs attaching to the chain so that a bath can be taken if desired. Also NO mirror in the bathroom so an interesting wet shave when getting ready for the funeral. In the kitchen we found two chopping boards, one only fit for the bin as disgusting... No bread knife and the knives in the block needed a good sharpen so perhaps a sharpener in the drawer tor people to do this. We normally have a go at cooking a meal or two when we go away but husband didn't even want me to cook him a fried egg sandwich in what was on offer and he's not normally fussy. So some easy things to look at really but definitely cleaned better along with the towels.

  The position was of the flat was great with parking right outside but getting in and out of the flat was a real nightmare.

  The key to the main door was very difficult to unlock. Sometimes it would take over 10 minutes to get in. Then the security keypad on the flat door had to be tackled. It was almost impossible to see the keypad due to it being so dark on the landing, even wearing my reading glasses and even on the rare occasions the light was on. If I hadn't had my son with me I wouldn't have been able to get in at all. There is also a key to open a security gate to get to the beach and that was equally difficult to operate. It meant we were locked on the beach side one evening until someone passing was able to open it from the other side. There were plenty of towels and the flat was warm but could have been cleaner. In particular the utensils, plates, cutlery and cooker were in a disgusting state. We had to wash everything before using anything. The oven was so greasy that I didn't even bother with that. The DVD player was also on the blink and made a horrendous noise, too noisy to play and the sound bar wasn't even connected so we couldn't even increase the volume to compensate. The bathroom door squeaked loudly disturbing anyone trying to sleep. The chairs in the dining room also make a deafening noise on flooring. They could do with some rubber feet on bottom. I felt sorry for the people in the flat beneath us. Despite all this we had a good time but I wouldn't book this property again.

  Myself, Mom and 2 Children stayed over the October Half Term Week.

  Walking into the lodge the only words we had were ‘wow’. It was absolutely beautiful and more, the pictures online really don’t do it justice. We had the most amazing, relaxing week away, it is located on such a peaceful pitch overlooking the golf course, close to all amenities all within walking distance, swimming, soft play, pubs etc. The lodge itself had everything you could possibly need, the welcome pack was such a lovely touch, Thankyou. Beds were comfy, towels were fluffy, enough toilet roll, kitchen roll, foil, cloths etc to start you off. I absolutely loved cooking in the kitchen. Shower was great and an added bonus of tvs in all the bedrooms. If I was being picky I would ask for more hangers, a couple more hooks around, esp for a dressing gown in the bedrooms would be handy/tea towel in the kitchen, maybe a bigger bin in the kitchen and a small lamp in the twin bedroom as the main light can be a little bright when you want to read at night. The clothes rack was slightly broken which we left a comment in the comments book which I’m sure has been sorted already. Overall it was a much needed break away and we were so lucky to spend it in such a beautiful lodge, so much so we have just booked to go back February half term. Thankyou and we can’t wait to come back soon :)

  We stayed in this lodge last year in July and were blown away by how lovely and luxurious it was so we decided to return again this year expecting the same amazing experience.

  .....sadly this wasn't to be. On arrival we found the gate latch having been completely snapped off so were unable to secure the gate which with 2 dogs was not a good start. There was a note in the guest book to say it had been reported but no one came to at least try to temporarily fix during our stay. The general cleanliness of the lodge was not great with dust, cobwebs etc. (I was an nhs housekeeping supervisor for many yrs). We looked for something to clean around with but no cleaning products left only washing up liquid. Alot of the furniture was looking and felt quite worn. The corner sofa was not secure and kept separating, the mattress in the main bedroom both sides are visibly sunken, some of the bedding was ripped or had marks on, main bathroom shower screen leaked so water went over the floor. We were all very disappointed as its such a lovely lodge in a great location with lovely views. It just looks and feels like it's sadly not been very well looked after and maintained. If it was brought back up to its previous high standards we would love to return but sadly won't at present due to how we found it this year. We even came home early as we weren't very comfortable.
