The guide that was sent prior to the holiday was the best Iâve ever received. It contained every bit of information that you would need about the property, surrounding area and local shops. I would definitely recommend this property and would love to stay again.

The apartment was comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated. Everything had been thought of from bathroom toiletries to dishwasher tablets. Thank you so much and we would love to visit again some day.

Bit of a problem at the start when the weather was very hot and we were unable to open a window in the downstairs bedroom, leading to a very uncomfortable night. However we got in touch with the owners and the problem was resolved. I have to say that they responded extremely well to the situation, showing a genuine concern to put things right. Some minor niggles (eg shower cubicle is VERY small) but otherwise everything was fine. Clean and well equipped and in a very convenient location.
