The cottage was in a lovely location and it contained everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. When we had a problem with the fuse and application for a late checkout, Tina was most helpful.
Great little apartment in an excellent location with high quality clean bedding and towels. Very nicely presented and easy check in. Only slight issue was the tight parking and the inner stairs... See more

Lovely accommodation with brilliant views of the sea and pier. Spotlessly clean, fully equipped kitchen and comfy bed.

I see no reason to look elsewhere
Was our latest of several visits over the last 4 or 5 years, and because of the location, the facilities, the standard and value I see no reason to look elsewhere. It's right on the sea-front, the shops are 2mins walk behind it, there's parking, it's got everything you need from an apartment, and we've already booked up for next year.

Great holiday
Had another great holiday at Sunnybeach in Little Lobster. The apartment was clean and well equipped and the WiFi was fast and reliable. The location is ideal, close to all amenities and the room had a wonderful sea view.

Lovely clean and pleasant cottage.
Lovely clean and pleasant cottage (we stayed in Mill Cottage). Had all we needed for 2 couples, a baby and a dog. Owners responded quickly to minor issues, so no adverse impact on our stay.

Communication was excellent from start…
Communication was excellent from start to finish , from the hosts, to the Communication by tablet in the apartment, always felt someone was there for support if needed, constant support and messages from the hosts before, during and after my stay .
Spotlessly clean apartment, absolutely everything you could need .
Bedding, pillows, towels very good quality which is a must for me , apartment had a fresh clean scent when we arrived, washing up liquid, dish cloth were supplied too which is great .
Apartment was light and airy, tastefully decorated.
Only bug bare I have is that these apartments face a large tall hotel and anyone just looking out the window can see straight into the apartment, especially the bedroom, so kept the curtains drawn most of the time.
As much as I dislike Net / voile curtains they are needed for this particular apartment ( Salty Dog) I did check the windows and fittings were obviously in place for nets but none were up while we stayed last week , and that's genuinely the only issue I'd have .

Little Lobster- small but perfectly formed!
I had a loverly stay at The Little Lobster, there was o my me so enough room. It is small but perfectly formed. It’s fresh, modern, bright and airy. I do think it could be very warm in the summer. I loved sitting in the comfortable chairs and watching the world go by. The sunrise is beautiful over the sea. The kitchen was well kitted out and a pleasure to use. I would highly recommend The Little Lobster to anyone!
