Good instructions for all the appliances. Lovely stay.

Unfortunately our sleep in the main bedroom was disturbed by the boiler clicking continuously. The dishwasher didnât work, and even though we reported it to the owner and maintenance company, the maintenance person only phoned the night before we were leaving. The information provided beforehand and in the property was out of date, regarding contact details for the housekeeper and maintenance people. Overall we were quite disappointed, especially as weâd taken friends from abroad and had really expected a higher quality.

It was within easy walking distance of the harbour and seafront and there were excellent shops and restaurants nearby. The beds were comfy, as was the living room seating. There was a dishwasher and a washer drier (which had been shut up so smelt a bit musty, but was fine when used) and the kitchen was reasonably well equipped (although only 4 forks, which was a bit random!). We were grateful to have the fans as it was very warm during our stay. It was also brilliant to have a car parking space too - the access was fine for our Renault Captur, but we might have struggled with our larger car, as the access to the car park was quite steep and narrow. The staircase up to it could be a bit challenging, especially as there was no lighting at nighttime because builders had turned them off whilst working on the neighbouring flat, but we were clearly told about that and it was a relatively minor inconvenience. We did have an issue with one of the toilet flushes, but that was sorted out and the maintenance man was great, even adding some temporary lights for us on the stairwell whilst the main ones were out of action.
