    Lovely flat, comfy bed and sofa, good cooker and hob for us cooking ourselves. Only criticism was that the hot water was very very hot without restrictions. Also only empty kitchen cupboards to be used for our storage were too high for me to reach. Otherwise definitely recommend :)

  • Kim

    Very cosy and warm due to underfloor heating. Everything spotles and hosts very friendly and helpful. Great location in central st bees. Although near the station there was no noise. Recommend
