Such a beautiful space in a beautiful location. Apartment was decorated wonderfully, very spacious and a very quite location. Lovely just looking into the estuary with the telescope. Apartment well equipped and had everything we needed. Will be returning.

Really nice apartment. The only 'fault' if that is how you would describe it, was that the tap in the kitchen had a continual drip, hopefully the property is not on a water meter, otherwise it could be expensive. It simply needs a new washer fitting, however it was not a problem for us..
