This is our first visit this year of three booked for 2026 and our third year of staying at this well appointed ground floor apartment.Sadly over time the cleanliness has deteriorated, the property would benefit from a deep clean, especially the windows inside and out. The oven requires cleaning although I did clean the trays and freezer needed defrosting. The curtains in the lounge require re hanging and have done so for at least 10 months. Having said the above there are plenty of positives. Comfy beds, clean lining and towels. Breakages do happen but crockery is in short supply for four people when using the dishwasher once a day. There is parking both outside and inside the gated property although inside is a little tight for a big car. Lovely outside seating area with disabled ramp which leads into a large conservatory with seating. Large kitchen with dining table. Family bathroom with separate shower. Laundry and guest toilet room . Two well appointed bed rooms. Brush, mop and bucket available but no hoover. The floors are wood or tiled. Large rug in lounge, two large cream leather sofas which for older people are difficult to get up from. Couple in late 70’s overall we enjoy our stay and return .
