Lovely, clean and well-maintained apartment.4.5 stars for Comfort and Equipment; just not 5 because the flat was way too hot for us, but we cracked a window. The proximity of the train station was a plus, to get up to Corkickle for the 6+ mile wander back on the Coast Path in the rain. The space behind the door was just right to hang up wet outdoor gear and leave muddy boots to dry, so we could sweep up afterwards.
