Been several times & booked for next year. 2 things though, first the bed is so noisy, I mean every time you turn over it squeaks & wakes you up. There seems to be a mattress topper but it's under the mattress not on the top. Also even though we don't cook a meal we wanted to warm croissants up but the oven didn't work & couldn't find the switch on the wall for it or instructions on what to do which was frustrating. Apart from this it's a nice comfortable stay. Hope the bed is sorted for next year.

Itâs worth noting though that you are only about 10 metres from the pub that plays loud music and has live music most nights. Thereâs about 30 steps to the flat,

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and quiet, well equipped (including a very convenient parking space) and only seconds from the centre of the town and all the restaurants and pubs. A few minutes walk to the lake and jetty too. Wouldnât hesitate to recommend or to stay there again.
