We had a great stay here. The location was brillant, close to mountains and close to pubs. The apartment itself was lovely, bright and clean. It was well equipped and had everything we needed.We would return and highly recommend.

My first impression wasn't great. The entrance hallway inside the flat needed a good sweeping up, and there was no hand soap in the bathroom (it is many years since I have been in a holiday cottage where there was not some soap to wash your hands when you arrive). Nor were there any bin liners (very much a necessity for the kitchen bin). Rubbish has to be taken out to a bin store round the corner which was difficult to find, full and confusing.First morning, the shower was unusable. Either cold or scalding. We called cottages.com and they did send someone that afternoon (Sunday) which was very impressive. They also came back the next day and changed the shower head. After that, provided you had it on eco, it was okay. I suggest that maintenance team use blue overshoes in future so as not to leave dirty footprints.Window blind in the bedroom doesn't full fit the space, and it isn't blackout either. Given that this is a roof window right above the bed, it meant that I didnt get much sleep. All the windows would give lovely views, but the units have gone, and they are filthy too, which rather spoils it. Also need to watch the handles as they have been greased/oiled which comes off very easily when you open/close them. The other non-roof window doesn't open (stuck by paint we think), which was a great pity as it was warm and it would have been nice to let a bit of fresh air in. The blind on that window has come unstitched too, leaving an overal feeling that the flat, once lovely, is being neglected by lack of maintenance.Overal I was disappointed with this flat. It has the potential to be really special, and maybe I am being a bit harsh, but first impressions really do count.

Great location and stunning views.Had everything we needed. Could have done with more attention re general cleaning/dusting.Beds comfortable, could have done with a fan when we first arrived but generally the flat kept relatively cool despite the stunning weather!
