The property's location is highly regarded for its walking distance to restaurants and bars, though parking challenges have been noted.
The rental is commended for comfortable beds and a spacious living area, but points are deducted for the reported issue with the freezer door affecting overall comfort.

Just had a weeks stay at the hydaway, 2 adults and 2 teenagers and would highly recommend it, we will definitely stay again. The apartment was very clean when we arrived and had everything we needed. Beds really comfortable and living area spacious enough for 4 people. Walking distance to all restaurants/bars on an evening which was great, can’t wait to return

Lovely stay in lovely comfortable modern apartment, close to shops, lake & restaurants.It would be helpful for the parking to be explained clearly in the detail. As there is no dedicated parking space but 'residents' parking spaces towards the rear of the apartment block. These are on a first come first served basis. We arrived unsure of where to park, but following a phone call were lucky enough ro be able to park for the duration of our stay.A couple of points that need addressing inside the apartment, the dishwasher did not work properly, depending on which programme was chosen. It also leaked a lot of water over the floor on one occasion. Also the freezer compartment door inside the fridge does not stay shut.If these things are sorted my rating would be excellent !Thank you.

The place was lovely but the freezer door in the fridge wouldn’t close properly. You had to keep your hand in the fridge door to close and it frequently got trappedParking was an issue. We came back for lunch and no parking spot. My husband had to drive round to find somewhere. Not ideal when the information says parking availableWater and heating a bit cold
