Good location. On arrival the hallway and stairs was dirty and remained so throughout our stay. Heating was only set at 7 degrees so it was cold fortunately found how to turn thermostat up. Ensuite shower difficult to control. Feel that apartment over rated as luxurious more comfortable.

The good weather enhanced our holiday. Perhaps the apartment would benefit from a deep clean during the season.Cottages.com - Booking was easy and friendly and the issue with the TV was quickly dealt with by all staff concerned. Thank you.We had a great holiday.

The accommodation was not very clean especially the common area. The nearest pub was not good for food. The walk into town was 20 minutes away. The en suite shower was weak had to use the main bathroom which was only just better. No welcome pack which was disappointing. Being a middle flat you hear who is above you we thought a heard of elephants had moved In. For the price we paid we felt very dissatisfied wouldn’t recommend I’m afraid
