Guests say
Sea Glass is praised for its excellent location, close to the beach, shops, and transport links. Guests appreciate the quiet, clean, and well-equipped apartment with tasteful decor. Some concerns about sofa comfort and parking challenges are noted, but overall, guests are keen to return and recommend the property.
The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests describing it as spotless and well-maintained. There is a single mention of a damp smell, but this does not seem to be a widespread issue.
The location is highly regarded due to its proximity to the beach, shops, and public transport. Despite some parking difficulties, the central location is a highlight for guests.
While the property is generally found to be comfortable, especially the beds, there are multiple comments about the sofa being creaky and uncomfortable, which affects the comfort score.
The apartment is well-equipped with modern amenities and thoughtful touches. However, the lack of private outdoor space and the challenges with parking have led to a slightly lower score.
Guests mention little extras like coffee sachets and biscuits, which indicate thoughtfulness. However, as not all reviews mention gifts and there is no guarantee of such items, the score reflects this.

And not a hint of the damp smell as mentioned in the reviews below, none whatsoever, and it's so quiet inside considering all the noisy seagulls outside! Will book again soon, D.

There was a bad damp smell every time you entered front door, not so noticeable once you were in, but a lot of air fresheners in the house so I surmise they know there is a problem. Very comfortable flat with all facilities required. Although we had an enjoyable stay we wouldn't rent accommodation without parking again as it was a nightmare trying to find a parking space and ended up just parking up and getting buses.
