The apartment was wonderful - lots of thought about items required had been included - a dishwasher/ washing machine although we did not need them. The views from the windows suburb overlooking wharf and then towards marina. A seafarers haven! Walking in area well signposted and people were very friendly. Our only disappointment was that the Marine Museum was closed however, it gives us an excuse to return which we will.

The apartment was clean, comfortable and perfectly located for the numerous attractions within a small area of travel. The owners kept in touch making sure we had everything we needed to make our stay as pleasant as possible. One of the best properties we have visited using cottages.com and well worth a return visit.
