Absolutely everything about our stay was absolutely perfect!!

Nothing.

Very spacious clean and had everything we needed.

Nothing

The apartment was very modern and comfortable. Very clean and TV worked. Bed was comfortable and large with lovely bedding.

The bathroom would have been better with a large walk-in shower instead of the large bath and hand held shower wand. Kitchen cutlery could have been better quality. There was no mention of the stairs leading up to the apartment. They were steep, with short treads, and quite treacherous for anyone with difficulty walking. It was very difficult to get luggage, etc. up to the apartment.

The property was fairly convenient for access to the town. Equipped with very basic facilities.

Approached via a neglected, seedy and potentially hazardous alleyway. The whole stay was marred by the downstairs resident who blasted their TV until the early hours of the morning, their clock chimed every 15 minutes and the noise started again early in the morning. The outlook from the living room and bedroom was over a partially excavated and neglected old school yard. Some of the lounge seating was worn out and not fit for purpose. Other issues too numerous to mention. I did email the owners with my concerns but didn't receive the courtesy of a response.

The flat was lovely. It was very clean and centrally located for the town. The decor was lovely and the flat perfect for our short break. The bathroom and kitchen were modern and the lounge and bedroom were spacious and comfortable.

The only two issues were the noise from the flat below as the person has the television on quite loud and they have a clock which chimes regularly but these are things probably out of the control of the owners. In the bathroom, the shower can be tricky to use.

Good location, clean and comfortable.

Cute, cosy, spacious living area. King size bed was perfect size as we have one at home. Property was tucked away which was very pleasant. Appreciated the chocolates as it was my partner’s birthday, would definitely stay here again.

Thick dusty cobwebs in kitchen and living area. Wine glasses had lipstick on them and tea cups were also not washed properly. As its self catering that was a bit more understandable, could do with regular drinks glasses and more than 1 pan.
