We stayed here for 5 nights - it’s quite a compact apartment but functional. The bedroom is small but the bed is comfy , the lounge / dining area is nice and big and airy with big comfy sofas , the kitchen is functional with everything you need really to cook. The bathroom is a good sized room but the shower is very small is the downside. The entrance isn’t the prettiest but the neighbour I met was very friendly & feels nice and safe. The best part about this though is the owner - she cannot do enough for you and is right on hand to help. The area is good with a nice beachfront walk and a small town with food shops & coffee shops etc so everything you’d need (and a much larger Asda a minute drive down the road)
