This is a superb 2 bed apartment in a beautiful location with a dedicated car space outside the apartment.We have stayed here before hence our return , very comfortable and all you need for a relaxing break .We would love to give 5 stars for all but owner needs to take ownership of the cleaning ,could be improved, work top dirty , sink in bathroom not clean and shower mat black and mouldy .Shower screen in need of attention, water leaks all over floor and needs to be cleaned up , had to mop up with kitchen paper each time. Towels/ tea towels well worn and all smelt musty. Only one drinking glass & plates & bowls chipped and cracked. No surface or toilet cleaner provided A few pounds would put right and for the money charged would make added value to what is a luxury place to stay.We always treat where we stay with respect.We will return, hope owner / booking company take note and improve to how our previous stays were.
