Mixed feedback on comfort, with some guests finding the bed very comfortable and others noting issues with bed size and softness. The presence of an uncomfortable sofa and a small bedroom has also been mentioned.

Pros - Off road private parking, great location with a short walk into the town centre, property was clean Cons - the property was damp and smelly, the bed sheet was far too small and kept coming off, the bed was very soft, only one USB plug under the dining table (not easy to find or use), uncomfortable sofa, door lock wasn’t easy (the key kept turning but not locking the door), very small bedroom, no outdoor spaceWe stayed in July when the weather was good, so meant we didn’t have to spend too long in the apartment which was a relief. In summary we wouldn’t stay there again
