Booked for the first Bank Holiday in May. The apartment is ideally situated in the town - its on the 2nd floor of a converted Chapel and there are 2 flights of steps with no lift so bear that in mind if you have any issues with mobility. There is one allocated parking space right next to the entrance door.The apartment is spacious and well appointed. There was a big list of what not to do in the hand book but that could probably have been due to previous occupants. The town has a good pub and an excellent restaurant in The Poaches which is opposite the Chapel - its cheaper and quieter than Dylans (which is by the sea front) and the food is better!

Wow, what a stunning place to stay, the giant stained glass window is just amazing as a centrepiece of the main room, and the sea views are stunning! We'll be back...
