It was a very short walk in to the centre and we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend. The facilities were excellent and the rooms were very comfortable. We would happily stay again.

Everything to the usual high standards. Generously, and well equipped, and well located for all amenities. With regards to the stairs, I would say to anyone doubtful about them, although there are around 32 steps to the apartment, the risers are relatively shallow, and there are very substantial handrails to either side.
