"Everything about our stay was excellent. The apartment is 3 flights up but a gentleman met us on arrival to carry our luggage up. We cannot thank Alain for her excellent service in making sure that our stay was good. The apartment is furnished to a high standard and was spotlessly clean. We were supplied with basic foods/drinks tea/coffee, milk etc. which was a nice touch. DVDs were supplied as well as Netflix. We enjoyed the apartment so much we hope to be back next year."

Stratford Manor Hotel

8/10 Good

"Pleasant setting. Didn't use many facilities but the bar is a nice spacious area and was relatively quiet when we visited. The rooms are a decent size but could do with a 21st century upgrade. No plugs on either side of the bed is a poor show. Dog friendly while remaining mindful of other guests. There's a £25 dog surcharge."
