7.2/10 Good! (12 reviews)

Brilliant, I did leave a review on Google maps also. But I really enjoyed this stay. Me (m19) and my partner (F18) decided to go on a whim and book somewhere nice on Saturday night. It was a nice idea as we got out of her parents house. We really enjoyed our stay, the apartment was clean with a nice bathroom, kitchen, living area and bedroom. We cooked ourselves a meal and had a nice bath before heading out. It's literally on the doorstep of town so everything you need is within walking distance and there's also a washing machine and drying racks along with ironing boards and all that. I would definitely stay again. Only issue was parking as it's quite expensive. But there's a small parking lot opposite side of the street for £10 for 24 hours which is what I used. I definitely recommend. Check in was also really easy door codes worked with zero issues.

Functional, no frills, & perhaps a little tired, but friendly staff & clean bedroom were the important things. The shared bathroom kind of worked, although it could have done with a little more attention in the cleaning. On the whole an ok stay, I’d certainly use again
