About this property

St Marys, Hayling Island - a bungalow that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

St Marys is a homely three bedroom Bungalow located a 10 minute walk from the Hayling Island seafront and Hayling's beautiful stretch of beach, perfectly situated for stunning views across the Solent.

Hayling Island is ideal for holiday makers and families as it retains all the attractions of a traditional seaside resort. One of the biggest attractions is the Funland Amusement Park at Beachlands, which has everything from roller coasters to a games arcade and a soft play area. The Hayling Seaside Railway that runs from Beachlands to Eastoke Corner is equally popular.

The island is also well known for its watersports - in fact windsurfing was invented here - and miles of glorious seafront. The local water is perfect for sailing, windsurfing, power boating, jet skiing and more.

There are various great places to eat if you don't feel like cooking, from nice restaurants to pubs and of course a wide range of takeaways. Hayling is also well served by shops, so anything you need during your stay is right on hand!

However, if you feel like venturing out and exploring nearby areas, the attractions of Portsmouth, Southsea, Emsworth and Staunton Country Park are all close by.

The property itself is well furnished and feels comfortable and welcoming.

The living/dining area is open and spacious, and has a lovely homely feel to it. The living area consists of two comfortable sofas and a smart TV, along with a wooden dining table that seats six.
The kitchen area is well equipped with a kettle, cooker, fridge, freezer, microwave, toaster, washing machine and plenty of cupboards, perfect to self-cater during your stay.

The three bedrooms - two double rooms, one bunkbed room - are large and beautifully decorated, all with large windows that make the rooms feel bright and airy.

The bathroom has a shower over the bath, toilet and sink area with a large mirror, and fresh linen and towels are provided as well. Free parking is also available and WIFI.

Great Location

The bungalow was very spacious and is located very close to a park and fields for dog walking and is about a 20 minute walk to the beach.The owner was very friendly and welcoming. We had a couple of minor problems but once notified, he came quickly to sort things out for us. We would definitely stay there again.

Visit to see family

Lovely bungalow contains all you need and is clean and tidy. Great location, very close to shops and takeaways. The Owner (Mr O’Shea) was very welcoming and is very dog friendly. I celebrated my 60th birthday during our stay and was surprised when a card, wine and chocolates where left for me from the O’Shea’s. Will definitely be back again

A few days on Hayling Island

The house was very comfortable with a small garden for the dog. It would have been useful to have some coat hooks in the hall and two extra, comfortable seats in the lounge (there were 4 but the house sleeps 6). Also it was short of cereal/ fruit bowls. Otherwise well equipped and convenient for walks to the beaches and shops. We enjoyed our stay here.

Did the job but not great

Good locations. Check-in and access and communication was all great. Recliner chairs in the lounge were nice (worth noting there’s only four of them so any additional people would have to sit on dining chairs). Our five year old loved the bunk beds! Having the enclosed garden was helpful with two young kids. The place needs a really good clean though. Found hairs and crumbs all over the place, and needed to wash some of the cutlery before using it. The main bed sags a bit in the middle bed, the hot water in the shower kept cutting out, and there were mould marks on the living room cushions.

Lovely warm and sunny house

Nice welcome pack of tea, coffee, fresh milk and biscuits. Also a thank you pack of wine and chocolates at the end of the stay. The house suited our needs, very basic but clean and very warm - the heating was great and the owners popped it on before our arrival which was nice. Lots of sun in the mornings in the dining room, which was very welcome. Some of the down sides were very poor internet service (often had to go outside and stand near the fence to the owners adjoining property to get any service) and very poor TV reception. Otherwise a great basic stay

Lovely Stay on Hayling Island (our Dad's childhood home)

The bungalow is in an excellent location, with three bedrooms, a lounge diner and a garden. The kitchen is very small but usable and well equipped. The owner lives in front and is very friendly and helpful - he even let us hold a small gathering after a family memorial we travelled down for and offered to let our guests park on his drive. A few tips that would make the holiday even better (keeping in mind that the bungalow already represents excellent value for money given its location and size): There are NO hooks anywhere (other than the smallest bedroom to make up for the cupboard housing the boiler). If there was a row of hooks in the hallway for coats, and a few in the bathroom for towels, clothes, etc., this would make a huge difference for very little cost. A couple of hooks on the back of each bedroom door and on the side of the sink (for tea towels) would also be helpful. The curtains were thin and light coloured. This means that they let nearly all the light in, including all through the night as there are street lights on both sides of the bungalow on the infant school site, and the public car park the other side. I strongly recommend investing in black-out blinds and/or curtains. it may also help to insulate the bungalow. The bungalow sleeps 6 but there were only 5 tall glasses. The mattresses were adequate but had seen better days. The pine furniture is practical but looks old and out of keeping with a modern bungalow. The TV service was poor - it didn't even seem to include standard Freeview which was a shame with the children there. Please don't take the above as reasons not to book - we had a great time and would book again! :)

6/10 Okay

It's O.K.

This property has 2 things going for it, the location (in the middle of the island) & there is a Co-op a few minutes walk away. The problem we had was that the beds and furniture were very uncomfortable, but someone else might find them O.K., we are all different afterall.
