A little disappointing not as expected

The new owners need to give the property an overall. Furniture not great throughout, drafty 2nd floor making it unusable. Oven need replacing – dryer needs to be installed, not as expected.

I am very grateful for the feedback and I am sorry that Sherkin did not meet the guest’s expectations. The property had changed owners in between the booking date and actual holiday and in fact, the owners only completed three weeks before the guest’s holiday. I had advised the guest at the time of booking that the property would look a little different to the wesbite photos and that some of the fixtures and fittings would be changing. I was not in a position to know what these changes would be until the new owners had finished fitting it out. This was just a fortnight before the guest’s holiday and it is worth noting that at that time, this guest had wanted to cancel her booking. I was trying to re let the dates for her.

I question the comment about the 2nd floor being drafty as I have managed Sherkin for 3 years, throughout all seasons and have never had this concern raised before. The owners have put locks on the loft hatch doors in case this was the cause of the problem but I would like to reassure future guests reading this review that room is definitely usable and enjoys a beautiful twin bed / zip and link. It is a lovely bedroom.

The owners are looking into the comment about the oven and had an engineer around to service it. Other guests have not had an issue but the owners do want to ensure that the oven is operating perfectly for future guests.

With regard to a dryer, the owners may consider putting a tumble dryer at the property but for the time being, it is their wish to just have a washing machine. There is a clothes airer for guest use.

Wellies & Windbreaks is always grateful for guest feedback and does always act upon it when required. I should like reassure future guests that Sherkin is a lovely and very comfortable family holiday home which has been much enjoyed by holiday makers for over 3 years now with Wellies & Windbreaks.

Great Week at Sherkin

Nine of us had a great week staying at Sherkin – 2 families plus a grandparent and dog. The house was spacious and well-equipped and the children loved exploring it. They also couldn’t play enough football in the large enclosed rear garden which is very well-kept. Parking 2 cars on the driveway is something of a challenge unless they’re small, but there’s plenty of parking in streets nearby. The location is pretty perfect in the village – seconds to walk to the shops and a couple of minutes to walk down the road to East Wittering beach. The beach appears pebbly at first but has sand at low tide, so it’s possible to build sandcastles whilst avoiding the hefty parking charges at West Wittering!
Amanda was very helpful and easy to contact during the week and resolved a couple of issues that we had. Her newsletter is well worth a read as it gave us ideas for activities that we wouldn’t otherwise have known about.
Just wish I’d remembered to take some piano music with me…

Superb Holiday!

Our family of 11 – 6 adults, 4 children 1 baby – had an amazing stay at Sherkin. Amanda was absolutely fantastic with providing information and service upon booking and afterwards with deposit return.
We will definitely book again.

Thank you so much for your kind words Sunny. It was lovely to meet you and I look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, Amanda

Summer Break with 3 Kids

Excellent location 200 yds from East Wittering beach and 2 minutes walk from all shops and amenities. House is in great condition and stylishly furnished. The good sized sunny garden is a bonus. 2 of the 5 bedrooms are very small but accommodate a cot (provided) and kids bunk beds respectively. We were 1 family with 3 kids but the house could take 2 families with up to 6 kids. Couldn’t fault it and are likely to return in the future.
