30a Monkgate

Excellent location. Close to city centre. Clean, comfortable and had everything we needed.

The stairs were slippy. Wouldn't be good for someone with mobility issues.

Satisfied with most of the holiday. Could have done with hooks behind the doors & a bath mat.

No hairdryer or tea towels. These were on the list of things not needed to take with us.

On first entry to the property, you walk into a nice small relaxing area with a sofa and a TV. Moving through, there's a toilet opposite the stairs that wind up to the first floor. Here is where the living area is, with a large room and kitchen. The kitchen was spotless, with all the necessary amenities. The welcome pack had some coffee/tea, biscuits and some milk sachets to enjoy after a potentially long journey. The living area was also spacious and clean. Reclining furniture was a bonus - so comfortable to relax on after a long day's walking. Towards the rear of the room is a dining table to seat 4 people. WiFi was a bit slow, but it was reliable. Another flight of winding stairs leads up to the two bedrooms and the bathroom. The beds and pillows very comfortable. Bathroom also clean and tidy, with a bath and a separate shower cubicle. Superstores like Morrisons, Lidl, etc. are just 5 minutes drive round the corner. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Advisory: For those unfamiliar with the area, the gate to the property is round the back of the cloisters (as detailed in the information you get). BUT... DO NOT go into the gates directly ahead as you drive down if they are open! We made that mistake and they closed behind us. This is PRIVATE parking NOT related to the property. We had to get a resident to let us out after half hour of being stuck there!

No real complaints at all - it really is a great property. The only niggle I had was that we had warm weather during our stay, and it's a very warm apartment, but opening windows lets in the outside noise (and there was a raft of police/ambulance driving by every night, almost every hour). Note: With the windows closed, you can't hear anything, so they're well soundproofed - but it does get hot. We ended up buying a couple of fans to keep the rooms cool during the evenings. More for elderly and those less steady on their feet: the stairs are winding and smooth wood. Take care walking down them in socks or at night (make sure the light is on).

location was brilliant very close to town centre and all the attractions

Central location, comfortable beds, very clean. Nice to have our own space to relax in at the end of the day and we enjoyed the recliner sofas!!

The only thing I can think of is being able to open more windows, otherwise nothing it was great

I loved the location, we were in walking distance to the attractions we wanted to visit. The apartment was very cosy and comfortable, we had everything we needed. We would definitely book again.

Some areas in the apartment were quite dusty which wasn't a problem to wipe down. However the main areas were clean and acceptable.
