We have stayed four times now and really love the apartment. Our main problem is the allocated parking space. In October we had to knock other doors in block and ask someone to move (Turned out they had two cars and you only get allocated one space) This time a car was in the space for two days and we were told by the office best thing was to find a space in the area .This is not easy as they are all allocated to other flats and residents .After a long drive from Scotland this is not what we needed. On the Friday other cars were parked behind ours right in beside the building and the car park had 8 cars in what is meant to be a 5 car area. No chance of getting out if we wanted to. Would be better if the signs were clearer. We had already booked another two breaks in this apartment later this year so we will see how it goes. Also this time we felt the bedroom carpets could do with a good deep clean .Apart from these niggles it’s a great apartment with everything you need and in a fabulous location. We are booked for July and also Christmas so here’s hoping no parking problems next time. Our little dog loves it and settles in so well. We love sitting in the garden watching the world go by .
