I don't wish to criticise too much because we did really enjoy our stay. The following things for us would have made it perfect and I feel might make a big difference to other people staying so I wish this to be helpful, not critical. We found the beds uncomfortable, we tried both and they were really hard. My partner didn't really sleep well. The sofa was also very uncomfortable, it slides down when you sit on it so overall we found it hard to relax at the apartment in the evening. The two arm chairs were good for us. Some of lights don't work in the bathroom, there might be good reason for this. Two of the draws in the furniture in living room fall open all the time after you close them, I am guessing that is to do with how the room slopes. Not a big issue for us but thought it was work letting you know. Everything else was great and we loved watching the river from the balcony. Less fussy people who are out and about more and don't mind very firm beds will love this place. Its also very spacious and clean.

The view of the river is amazing, facilities are good, bed is comfy, the couch in the lounge area not so. The cleanliness cannot be faulted. Taking the rubbish to the bin store can prove difficult, this time there were large umbrellas in front of the cupboard likely from the upstairs bar.

The view across the estuary to Kingswear is just stunning. We loved sitting on the balcony watching life go by on the river and the street below. The apartment is spacious, comfortable, tastefully furnished/decorated and well-equipped. The 2 bedrooms each have a comfortable king-size bed. Dining area, living area and kitchen all work well together. Plenty of electrical sockets and the lighting is just right. We loved our one-week stay in September and will hopefully return.
