We love Cellardyke so always return. First time in this property and will return. Spacious rooms, very nice kitchen, and good bathrooms. The only issue was no shower in 3rd level bathroom. Without going into great detail, this property was exactly as advertised and we loved it. I’ve stayed in a few flats in Cellardyke but this one wins easily. ##### Bill G.
