Was abit cramped for 3 adults and 2 children. Having access to the spare double room would have been an advantage. Toilet in first floor landing constantly dripping, kept me up most nights, reported it but no one replied or came to look at it. Overall we would return as we have stayed here before but may have to access more bedrooms as kids are too big for the single beds now. But very nice flat and good location.

It is in the perfect location for exploring various towns. We had no issues with parking during our visit but didnât really move our cars after arriving as we walked every where.

The rooms were well furnished and well presented. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and our two granddaughters (7 and 5) loved having the top floor to themselves. We would be more than happy to stay there again.
