The apartment is very well equipped and has a cosy feel to it great for relaxing after a full day out walking. We also enjoyed sitting on the communal terrace enjoying the last of the sunshine.

We went without hot water for 24 hours, where we were offered a first and last offer of £45 as compensation. Considering the property charges significantly more than this per night and to have an entire night and day without hot water with no offer of alternatives is diabolical. We had to use the kettle in the sink to wash ourselves and to wash up dishes which after a day of long hikes was hugely inconvenient. We didnt even get an apology for this inconvenience just a first and last offer which is significantly less than what we had paid per night. This isnt a one off issue as in the visitors book the hot water issue was mentioned by multiple guests. Do not book this property it was AWFUL. We will be now leaving reviews everywhere to warn others to avoid this property at all costs.

Only issue was the shower - even on the highest temperature setting it was only ever lukewarm. I think perhaps there's something not right with it. Otherwise, everything else was great.
