Charles Alexander Short Stay - Windmill House Apartments

Small double bed next to wall

Very clean on arrival, towels were provided. I managed to get in earlier for a cost of £20. The apartment was bigger than expected, had a bath and shower. The lady we met, who was cleaning, on arrival was very friendly and helpful. There is no messing around you get a code for your apartment key from a lockbox. I was very happy with the accommodation, we stayed 3 nights and could easily stay there longer, comfortably. I would recommend, you could not fault the accommodation. There are lots of shops and restaurants close by. A good base for exploring or going to the beach.

The main thing is there is no parking, I was lucky and able to park at the property. I tried to book at Sainsburys through an app but it would not work. It is not close to the property if you have difficulty walking its a good walk away which I would have struggled with.

Breakfast not applicable. Spotless apartment. All necessary equipment. Very modern. Good location. Nice touches with plug in diffusers and little plant pots. Good to have blinds instead of curtains.

No hooks to be seen - would have been so helpful. Although booked for 3 the bedroom was made up for one. However on ringing the emergency number the lady came very quickly and rectified it. The hot water was VERY hot so we couldn't have showers on the Saturday morning - however the lady came once more to rectify it. Thank you.

Codes given with easy directions to key locations

As the stay was work related having to check out at 10am but appreciate other guests due later that day. Additional cost for early check in

Cleanliness.tea / coffee/ shower, etc.

Deal breaker was no window in the bedroom. There was only 1 small window letting light in .very stuffy. No ventilation. Should have been told there was no windows.

Location fabulous just around the corner from parents. Price excellent for a 3 night stay and comfy bed although could do with a bedside table don't think you need a bed that big as the bed settee wasn't that comfortable to sit on in the evening.

You had to slam the main entrance to shut it and unfortunately the house shuck and it was loud, especially when people were leaving at 7.00 or 8.00 in the morning.

The location was ideal, and the property was exceptionally clean, and ready for our arrival. It was a nice little touch to have all home from home comforts.

The kitchen tap was dripping for the whole stay, and we could also hear some dripping from possibly the shower or tap from an upstairs property. The bedroom blinds would benefit from being black out blinds, especially in the summer months.
