5 because we loved our stay there around this time last year. The accommodation is excellent, very comfortable and well equipped - but most of all the setting with that exceptional and stunning view over the bay to Burgh Island is beyond amazing! I love the large terrace and this year the weather has been incredible like the Med! BUT⦠Unfortunately, our holiday turned into a disaster as my partner was blue-lighted to hospital in Plymouth on Tuesday night with a near-fatal ruptured appendix! And subsequently rushed into surgery with 5-keyholes to remove the grumbling appendix. Heâs okay now, thank God, and after a 9-hour drive weâre home and heâs recuperating in bed. Needless to say, it was the holiday from hell solely for this disastrous reason! I highly recommend Appt.5 it has everything for the perfect holiday in this beautiful location - we hope to return one day despite this trip being ruined by an unforeseen health emergency.

As always from walking in until leaving it was a holiday that was comfortable, relaxing and everything needed to recoup. The apartment has such a wonderful vista and on the Sunday we experienced an amazing storm, my favourite time to be by the sea. There are a couple of things in the apartment that need attention. The fridge freezer isnât very clean and the freezer is quite iced up. The electric socket closet to the patio door left hand side blew when I plugged in my laptop. The apartment wasnât as clean as it used to be and the cupboards in the kitchen needed tidying before I could find equipment that I needed (I always cook). Please note these are not complaints merely observations, in my opinion the cleaning is not as good as it used to be but it is still one of my favourite self catering holiday apartments and destination.

It is very well equipped and had everything we needed while we were there. The bathrooms were spotless, the beds very comfortable and there was plenty of seating in the living room. The reason I have only given 4 stars is that in the small twin bedroom the wardrobe and shelf space is inadequate for two people. There are no drawers large enough to take adults clothes. The wardrobe doors did not slide well and the area round the bed to get to the wardrobe was very cramped. Also the chairs on the terrace are old and some need replacing. They are also not very comfortable to sit on for long. The swimming pool in the leisure club is excellent and the changing rooms were always clean. Overall I would recommend this apartment.
