Appartement, terrasse & barbecue

😊: Location was good, away from the main hub and noise but easily walkable. Also close to the ferry port. The shower had good flow and there appeared to be plenty of hot water. There is a bike storage area in an adjacent property.. 😢: Cutlery, dishes and saucepans all needed cleaning before use, looked as if left dirty after the last occupants. All furnishings and cooking pans and utensils looked as if they had been bought from a jumble sale, as cheap as possible including the bed and pillows which were lumpy and uncomfortable. The cheap saucepans and frying pans did not have flat bottoms due to their low quality which made cooking more difficult and dangerous as they were easily shifted or spun around on the hub. The couch is extremely uncomfortable, the back cushions lean back at an uncomfortable angle and the sitting cushions keep sliding forwards. There are two steep steps into the bathroom off of the bedroom which are tricky at night, the edge of the top step came loose and fell off during our stay, this was brought to the owners attention early on in our 10 night stay and also the blind over the back door which would not retract after being pulled down, but the owners of the property did nothing to make repairs. The steps to the bathroom are dangerous enough without the edge missing. The weather was not particularly hot during our stay but the bedroom was. The apartment has only one openable window (in the kitchen) no electric fans were provided. The plastic sheet over the mattress probably added to the discomfort at night. The exterior sitting area was overlooked but this is not made apparent from the posted photographs. The insulation of the floor to the apartment above is inadequate and conversation, walking and use of the toilet/shower is easily heard. Basic things like hand wash in the bathroom were not supplied and only one toilet roll was provided..

😊: Cute apartment conveniently located close to all attractions such as restaurants , quay, port, market and seafront with home comforts such as a dishwasher , coffee maker and a large modern tv. Courtyard terrace is a lovely bonus and the property is quiet with charming decor. We didn't stay long enough to enjoy the bbq facilities but would have loved this had we stayed longer. Record player and board games were a nice touch.. 😢: Bathroom is very bijou and only accessible through the bedroom - so a little inconvenient . Whoever sleeps on the sofa bed in the living room if needing to use the toilet in the night will find it impossible to do so without waking the rest of the party. We also found a pair someones unworn pants in the sofa bed when we pulled it out to make the bed up - this was a bit of an unwelcome surprise 😮.

😊: It’s handy for the centre of Dieppe and within 5-10 minutes’ walk. There are many original features and it’s clearly a historic building.. 😢: For our group (3 brothers) it was only ok. Lots of areas could have been cleaner or better. Really needs bringing up to a higher standard. Felt no money had been spent for a long time on this. Some examples. Shower door not properly on the runner. Anyone not sleeping in the bedroom has to access the bathroom by walking through it. Door poorly fitting to bathroom. Cutlery not thoroughly clean. Chair back flaking wood splinters. Bedding seemed old. Being ‘bohemian’ is fine. This felt uncared for. The bike storage area was helpful but could have been tidied..

😊: The location was great for the ferry terminal. 😢: The apartment lacked care, it had a broken step to the bathroom, the bed was very flimsy and felt like it would break when you moved, coffee machine broken, quite unclean feeling, expensive for what it was, need a deep clean and updates throughout to bring it up to standard - we needed a base to wait for a ferry so it worked for us..

😊: Very cosy and well equipped, and convenient for the ferry and walking into town. Also very close to the best Dieppe restaurants.. 😢: Wasn’t keen on the sliding door to bathroom from the bedroom..
