Beaches Brighton 1

Great location and really nice to have a parking spot to use so centrally. The house was decorated beautifully and made good use of space. However, for our party, the third bedroom was unusable, as it is separated from the main property (you access it via an external courtyard, accessible only through the main bedroom), and the bunk beds in the third bedroom were poor quality, with bad mattresses. The second bedroom was quite small, especially as my son had to join me there due to the unusable third bedroom. Minor issues: There were some yellow stains on the bedding, one of the hairdryers didn’t work, and the only mirror was in the main bedroom. The biggest issue was the damp. The third bedroom felt wet and smelled very mouldy. Both other bedrooms smelled of damp and the bedding felt damp to the touch. There was a noticeable smell on my suitcase and clothes when I returned home. We did inform the owners of this but there was not much they could do. We stayed in July so I can’t imagine how bad this would be in the autumn and winter months. Finally, there were signs everywhere telling what you could and could not do. It felt very unwelcoming, giving the sense that the owners wanted to earn money from their property, but not have any evidence that you have been there. I have emailed the owners twice since leaving, once about my damage deposit, which hasn’t been refunded (I assume it will be), but I do think it’s poor form.
