This apartment has a lot going for it. This is the 2nd year we have stayed at No. 7. It is very convevient for town and the bus station and the accommodation is ok. But the toilet seat is still loose as it was last year and the toilet is difficult to flush. The bathroom and kitchen need a thorough overhaul. If this was done I would stay here again

The flat was comfortable and clean, the rooms were a bit on the small side but we knew this as we have stayed in Hewetson Court before fine for two people, but the best bit is the location it could not be better. Would def stay again
