!). The location is perfect, choose to everything in town. The flat is clean, well decorated and furnished. We love all of the local photos and pictures. The bed is comfortable so we slept well. It has everything we needed. We will stay again!

You definitely need a small car to park here and amenable neighbours, as you have to park strategically to enable both cars access and leave room for pedestrian access. The apartment is very comfortable, although there is little storage in the second bedroom. The kitchen is well equipped and spacious. Note that apartment 2 is upstairs, so you need to be comfortable with that. Amenities are close by: Tesco Express and restaurants a short walk away and the harbour is delightful.
