Conveniently located for every thing we needed. Upon arrival the apartment was clean and tidy. The bedrooms nice and spacious and a lovely bottle of Prosecco left for us which was a nice touch. There was only one downside, which I must stress this did not affect us as our children are older, but may be something to take into consideration if you have smaller children is the music from the pub next door. It does shut off at 11pm and 10pm on Sundays. Lovely place and lovely people that own it! Thanks for having us.

It had a wonderful view of the castle which is so close and in a lovely park .The Welcome Pack was a very nice touch. A short walk to the beach and lots of great independent small shops close by.

To enter the property is at the rear and again really steep uneven steps up to the gate, then several shallow wider steps up to the entrance door, but then once you go in there is another full staircase that takes you up to the property, I feel the fact that there are so many steps to enter and in the property should be mentioned, as I had my 87 year old mum, who has a very weak heart and a pacemaker and my sister who suffers with asthma that both struggled with so many stairs, they were in the twin rooms which also meant having to go up and down the stairs for the bathroom
