We enjoyed a lovely few nights here. The flat was very comfy and so we equipped. Great location for the town and we loved the castle gardens(Parking was initially a bit of a problem but ok once we got a space outside)

Well equipped, conveniently located for beaches, harbour, castle etc. although parking was a little inconvenient at times. Sufficient cutlery, crockery pans etc., and everything worked well (TV, cooker, central heating, shower, etc.). Basics all supplied (soap, tea, coffee, milk...) plus a couple of nice extras (wine, cake). 4 nights was good value for the area. Steps to the flat entrance are steep and winding, but handrails OK.
