    It was unfortunate that the washing machine wasn't working but we were refunded immediately by sykes. The drain in the shower could do with unblocking as we had to use a towel on the floor to stop flooding. As could the sinks do with being plunged, water drains away really slowly. We would, however, definitely recommend as a great location and property to stay at, and would happily return.

    The apartment was very comfortable and a bonus to have Sky TV.

  • Julie

    Bed comfy, linen clean. Beautiful views. Only thing wrong was the outdoor furniture could have done with a wash down. Also the water flowed away very slowly so couldn’t use the rain fall shower
