Admiralty House

Very central location close to beaches, bars and restaurants. Property had everything we needed for a group of friends and was warm and comforting. Communication with the host was fast and efficient and some good recommendations for eating places received.

It was perfect for our type of party

The house could do with more showers for the amount of people it holds but it does have baths.

The house itself is great good bedrooms comfortable beds great front room and kitchen. Location is perfect

Bathrooms / ensuites could do with some modernisation. Only 2 showers neither in actual rooms. And both of poor quality.

Location is great one street back from the Sea front.

We where also told by the Host that many rooms / areas had been redecorated, again comments from other reviews said it was poor. Again this was not the case there had been spot painting here and there but not to a good standard. This made the property look and feel tatty and looked after in a liaises-faire manner. Other issues where faulty electrics with one room having no working wall lights, loose switches, broken windows, stained linoleum in bathrooms and kitchen, dirty BBQ etc. Next the beds the mattresses are all very old and seen better days. Clean but uncomfortable to sleep on. The Host returned on day two and put on mattress toppers. For me it was still lumpy and I could feel the springs. Now the worst point. As I had complained to the Host she started hinting that our group of 12 was illegal to stay during COVID so we would have to leave. She constantly badgered me on this point making my holiday a nightmare. As a group of 12 scuba divers from different bubbles in law we had an exemption as we were carrying out training. At no time during booking, paying £2800 in advance with no cancel option, or with my conversations with the Host prior to arrival did she ask for personal details of the group even though I had told her what were 12 divers from a club. To sum up great location, tatty unloved, if your a large twenty something group on a Stag it will fit your needs. If your looking for something decent and value for money that’s modern etc this is not it.

location was close and available at short notice. but couldn't get hold of keys for the property

had to wait 2 hours to get keys but was a last minute booking so kids were out in cold after several hot drinks at local shop. also you have to hunt for a parking space not many around for zone F

plenty room

parking situation not near

A great place to stay, especially for big groups.

The only thing for us that could have been better were showers in more of the bathrooms, but it was no biggie.
