A welcome pack was a nice touch. Recommended. ##### Martin Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David 1 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Well equipped apartment in a convenient and quiet location. The exterior could do with a good tidy up and weeding. The front door to the building sticks when opening a closing, so you can't come and go quietly. ##### David Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane 30 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The property itself was spotless and well appointed. It was very close to the shops and bars although in a quiet street. The only down side was very limited parking. We couldn't find a single space and ended up on the leisure centre car park. Luckily it was reasonably priced. ##### Jane Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Manuela 18 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Excellent accomodation Great stay!

First class, faultless property, modern, fully equipped and spotlessly clean.
