“The property itself was far better presented than we were expecting.”

Our emissive was the neighbours, making it a very uncomfortable stay. The restaurant staff next door leaving their shifts each night were both rude and ignorant to the fact they weren’t the only beings on the planet. Unfortunately being located that close to the car park is a deal breaker forward.

“There's no lift access to 301 (top floor).”

There's no parking facility for 301. There was only one swipe/entry card for a 2 bedroom facility where you would normally have 4. Only Freeview TV channels available. There was confusion at your end on the issue of linen and towels, which were enquired about, but I declined the offer due to the price, only to be called up and asked for a credit card to charge for this.

Thank you for the review of Bay Dream. We are sorry to hear that you found some of the amenities not up to standard. We would like to note that there being no lift to the 3rd floor is advertised on our website in the special conditions and it states that lift access is only available to the ground floor and guests will need to use the stairs to the third floor. It is also clear on our website that there is only off - site parking for this accommodation. With regards to the Free view we have suggested to the Owners that they may want to change how this works and do some upgrades. Linen is an add on that you opt in to use and this is an extra charge. We where only given one key code pass so this is the only one that is available to guests staying at the property. Bachcare

“Very disappointing, Bachcare not recommended!”

The appartment is okay, location is good, but the property maintenance wasn't great. The appartment was not in the requested setup, semi-clean, laundry still in the washing machine. We were asked for a late check-in as they didn't get all their properties ready in time. We arrived at the property finding there was no bed for our baby daughter, although stated in the facilities and requested in advance. When we requested Bachcare to sort out a cot for our little one, nobody felt responsible and we were just left with the situation and told that they cannot do anything about it. We had to call them several times, speaking with different people every time and nobody ever cared to call back. Now we have to fight for some sort of compensation, as this wasn't a holiday for us. It's probably not the fault of the property owner, but the way this was handled I wouldn't recommend booking through Bachcare, nor marketing properties through them.

Thank you for your feedback Johanna. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us insight into what was disappointing with your stay so that we can improve. It is Bachcares responsibility to ensure the property clean and ready for guests and we are sorry to hear that on this occasion it was not up to our usual high standards. We have discussed this with our local team to ensure all linen is put away. We are pleased to advise that the cot is now available at the property and we appreciate you speaking with us directly regarding compensation. Bachcare

“I would highly recommend this apartment without hesitation.”

The seaside location, sea view, cleanliness, very comfortable beds, modernly equipped and serviced, makes for a very relaxing stay. Car was parked securely underground and not used as we could stroll everywhere, even the water taxi to Russell is at the front door. Booking instructions were clear. Getting up to the apartment with one set of stairs from second floor elevator was no issue. Would love to come back with my family!
