We booked this property for 9 weeks originally, but Covid-19 got in the way, so we ended up having to cancel the first 4 weeks, but that all went smoothly with refunds within a couple days of notice, since we were more than two weeks in advance of our arrival date.
The duplex apartment ended up being better than we had hoped, tall ceilings, lovely views of the sea and bowling green just outside our windows. The bed in the master bedroom was a bit high for me, but I managed to jump into bed. Over the course of our time we had extended family visit us on the weekends, and then the last week a family of 5 came for a couple days and we managed to bed everybody! It was cozy, but the cleaning crew left of us plenty of bedding for everyone.
The cleaning crew cleaned once a week once we got past quarantine, and due to the quarantine they even provided us with a few groceries to get us started. The location was perfect for parking except when the weather was glorious, as then the whole world showed up on the beach hoping for a free parking space, but it was only once we had to part a distance away.
Basically, we really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely consider the duplex apartment again if we decide to spend time in St. Leonards-on-Sea again one summer.
Thanks again, David and crew!
