We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. It was cosy, clean and had everything we needed. Yes, there was a bit of noise for 5 minutes every morning at 6am when there was a delivery across the road, but if you are staying in such a central location that is to be expected and it really did only last 5 minutes.

Very handy little apartment for the town centre. Could do with a little sprucing up but otherwise it was OK. Had a slight problem on arrival, in horrendous weather, parked the car in what we thought was the space for us only to be left a very arrogant, rude and argumentative note on the windscreen telling us we were in the wrong place! The person had blocked us in so we couldn't move it till the next day!

Flat centrally located near Castle was great. Hot water plentiful.Sadly, REALLY grubby , dirty and tired. Could do with a thorough clean - carpets filthy, mismatched glasses, cutlery and china like an old fashioned charity shop. Saucepans dirty and damaged. Bed linen cheap.Real shame.
