Selling home to daughter on OE in UK

We had a great time with our daughter and her friends ( we rented 2 houses) reminding her of how glorious Home is. Hopefully it’s enough to make a permanent return likely! She loved it.

Great location

Maybe the last people to use the house didn’t clean it properly. All the dishes, pans and cutlery needed washing before they could be used. The bedding was stained. Beautiful location but let down by cleanliness.

Great view after some hard mahi

The view from the bach was wonderful- but we had to wash all the windows facing the sea before we could see anything but a fuzzy outline through them. I know windows on the coast get grubby but, when a major selling point of the bach is the view, I’d expect the owner or manager to ensure the windows are clean for each new guest. Glassware & cutlery need improvement. Otherwise all was great & we enjoyed the stay.

Just Bad!

First off the Queen bed is well past its use by date! Its very uncomfortable so don't expect a good sleep. The bedding is also pretty old. The kitchen is pretty dirty and all the kitchen utensils are old, blunt and the cutting boards are horrible so take your own. Curtains are also popping off the tracks and no curtain to cover the exterior facing glass door in the master bedroom. Most of the window rubbers are worn out so they draft a fair bit and sand blows in plus the latches are . . . variable. We were there 2 nights. Checked in after 2 first night. 9am next morning the Painter arrives??? (what?) to continue painting the outside of house apparently. We were not advised about this at all as per the other review about roofers turning up. No privacy and every window you sat at had a painter standing there. Messaged the property Manager with no response so I assume they really just don't care about the quality of your stay that you are paying good money for. Obviously just don't care so if you have issues good luck getting any response. Next morning we are about to leave and the powers cut to Castlepoint so that kinda capped off a pretty rubbish stay. We will definitely not book here again! Sorry Bach-care but this is Not what travelers should expect.

Lovely view

Lovely part of the country. The bach was not checked after each visitor’s stay. There was a note from previous visitor about their previous visitor about food left behind. I was under the impression that the bach should be checked after each group. This was not done. It was tidy, thankfully but could have been a mess. This needs improvement.

Absolutely stunning location, so close to the beach and lighthouse. Sitting and watching the lighthouse at night was truely spectacular. The beds are pretty uncomfortable and there were potato chip crumbs through one of the single beds that we had to clean off before using.

Calamity at Castlepoint

Awesome spot with stunning views. Basic bach but good comfort level, except for the queen bed which needs to be upgraded. Scaffolding around the outside on arrival and roofers showed up at 8am on the last morning of our stay to remove the old roof! Drills & hammers were not the best wake up call & we would've appreciated some communication about this from the property manager.

Lovely little Beachfront stay

We had the most relaxing time staying at this bach. The highlight was definitely the window seats looking out to the ocean and lighthouse. We were pleasantly surprised when the lighthouse lit up! The bach was tidy & cozy, exactly what you would expect from a little bach. We wished we had stayed an extra night though!!

Brilliant spot- great views. Comfortable seating around the big open window. Just couldn't find a heater- saw and used the two on the walls but couldn't find any other,was a bit cool for this time of the year. Great shower, oven. Lovely patio area.

Unexpected Gem with outstanding views

This Bach has arguably some of the best views in Castlepoint, the location is dreamy and you walk in to a huge open bay window with stunning ocean views and the lighthouse to the left, proud on the rocks. The location allows you to walk everywhere. An authentic kiwi Bach vibe. Warm friendly locals. Awesome all round, will definitely return! Thank you for the opportunity Tracy.

Cosy haven

The house provided a lovely, cosy haven on a couple of windy, winters days. The view is stunning - I could spend hours just watching the sea and sky! I really appreciated the 12pm check out time too.
