The people in the area were so very nice and helpful.we met a waitress at Amechi’s that was superb. Georgiana. What a doll. We were all over 65 so the hilly streets were a challenge. The neighbouring towns were not far and offered shopping galore. All and all we are very happy to have spent our Time at Sovereign House. ##### diane w. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Phil P. 6 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Phil,Lesley & friends Lovely apartment and as described, which isn’t always the case! The one thing which isn’t mentioned having said that, is that it is a basement apartment, which you do of course work out from the photos but maybe it could be mentioned?Arriving after 4.00pm in the winter means you arrive in the dark, so please ensure the light by the key box is working, difficult to see the numbers otherwise, even with a phone torch!!We enjoyed our stay and found It warm, comfortable and excellent location with a good parking space, happy to recommend and even as a basement apartment had no issues with light or access.Thanks for an enjoyable few days. ##### Phil P.
