Very warm and friendly welcome at reception. Location is fantastic. Quiet at night. Nice bathroom.

The electric blanket could really be felt under the sheet, bit uncomfortable.

Nice apartment in excellent location.

I expected a sofa bed for third person in lounge and in fact there were three beds in the bedroom. This didn't work well for our party. Perhaps I misread details before booking???

Location great. Bathroom modern.

We were in apartment 19 for two nights and we discovered that apartments 18, 19 and 20 back onto a caravan park toilet and laundry so could be noisy at times.
