Visitor Reviews of The Bay Colwell

Sarah, Horsham
Date of stay: 25th April 2025
We really enjoyed our stay! The place was spotless and had all the essentials. A couple of small things like some new, fluffier pillows and a little info on nearby spots wouldve been handy. Also, a pint of milk instead of sachets wouldve been nice. Being close to the beach path was a big plus, though!

We stayed at The bay Cowell for 2 nights, 3 night were booked but it really wasn't for us.Cottage was very very tired, your could see the the staff had cleaned and it was a clean to the best they could do but the furniture and lodge it self was very worn. Covered the sofas using the spare sheets as these just looked really dirty chairs looked dirty and just really needed some freshing up. Mouldy blind in the bedroom I noticed this whilst In the hot tub. Bathroom just needs re doing, I just don't feel it should be advertised as a luxury cottage.On the Saturday I noticed there seems to be something leaking from the floor, but was unsure mopped this up and it had come back slightly the next Morning, we had gone out out the the day and at around 4 pm noticed the marks looked wet.We and informed reception, maintenance man came round immediately and was very nice and helpful also said it looked like there was a leak under the floor. Said would get someone to come and clean. But we had already made the decision to leave. Couldn't fault the staff and the children really loved the pool. But it's not somewhere we would choose to stay again. The location however is lovely and we really enjoyed the walks on the beach.

Overall, we're pretty happy with it. If we had to be picky, a pair of kitchen scissors and a heat-proof board wouldve been handy-especially for handling hot dishes. The only board included was that white plastic one, which isnt ideal for everything.

Date of stay: 18th April 2025
We had a lovely stay at the beach house! The view of the sea is just stunning and the interior decor feels really cosy and thoughtfully put together. Everything was spotless when we arrived, which was a relief. The kitchen had all the gadgets and bits we needed and we loved the little extras like Isle of Wight Monopoly and Jenga in the cupboard. The info pack was handy too, guiding us to local spots. Wed definitely come back!

We recently stayed at the cottage and its been totally redecorated - it looked bright and spotless. The only downside was seating for just three people, even though there were beds for four and the sofa's seen better days. We were told new furniture was delayed because of issues at the Suez Canal, but honestly, the current settee did its job fine. Overall, a decent stay!
Amelia, Portsmouth
Date of stay: 20th February 2025
We stayed for a weekend and honestly, it felt just like home. The cottage was spotless and super peaceful. Loved the welcoming vibe and the swimming pool was a real treat. Beach walks were gorgeous too. Were already planning to return next year, cant wait!
James, Bedford
Date of stay: 15th February 2025
Overall, the cottage was lovely and spacious. Very clean and well-maintained, which we appreciated. However, we were a bit disappointed because it didnt have the hot tub that was advertised, which was a bit of a letdown. Still, a great place to stay despite that.

Great spot for first-time visitors, we really enjoyed it here, lovely place!
Alex, London
Date of stay: 29th October 2024
Overall, pretty decent experience, but I have to say, the sofa was honestly the worst part - super uncomfortable after a long day on my feet! Luckily, the beds made up for it, they were really comfy!

Date of stay: 20th September 2024
We had a lovely stay overall. The beach house was charming and we really enjoyed our time despite the unpredictable weather. The only hiccup was the porthole window in the bedroom-getting the little one to sleep was a bit tricky without blackout blinds!

Daniel, Wetherby
Date of stay: 13th November 2023
We stayed in a pet cottage recently and honestly, it was a mixed bag. The bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom areas were spotless, but the lounge wasnt quite up to the same standard, especially since were not pet owners. The sofa looked like it had quite a few dog footprints and was a bit worn and the table was of poor quality with some marks. There were also dog hairs everywhere and we ended up sweeping a dustpan full just after arriving. On the plus side, the location was fantastic and the place was well-equipped and comfy overall. We did have a bit of an issue with the boiler on Saturday evening, but the staff responded quickly and sorted it out without fuss - their helpfulness was top-notch. Would we stay again? Definitely, but probably in a non-pet option next time if its available, since were not pet owners. Oh and they didnt have a tin opener, which was a minor inconvenience.

We had a really lovely stay! The cottage was spacious and well kitted out and the pool was fantastic. Plenty of restaurants nearby made evenings easy and enjoyable, wed definitely go back!

Date of stay: 28th June 2023
We had a great time at Beach Nut! The only hassle was the patio doors-they were pretty stiff at first, but once we got the hang of it, no worries. The family shower head was a bit unpredictable and the sofa was a bit firm, but overall, it was a fantastic stay. Can't wait to come back next year!

We had a lovely stay overall. When we first arrived, we noticed the twin beds were a bit broken and the bedside lamp wasnt working. But the staff sorted everything out super quickly after we called reception. Really impressed with their help!

Really affordable place, so Id definitely return. Just a heads up, the hot tub takes a while to warm up, so plan accordingly!
