Most guests found the apartment to be clean, with a few noting spotless areas. However, there were several mentions of specific cleanliness issues, such as a dirty bath, tea-stained mugs, and dusty skirting boards. These appear to be isolated incidents rather than a general trend.

There isnât much of a view but we were not worried about that. We just wanted a base. The parking space is vital to me. Itâs a lovely little apartment . Lovely little bit of outdoor space too Thank you.

Superb outdoor space. On arrival we noticed that there were 2 issues with the property. A leaking shower and the dishwasher was blocked. We tried to fix the problem ourselves on the day we arrived but couldn't fix it. We noticed a card in the lounge that advised us to go to the Town and Country office in town if we had any issues. We did this the following day and reported the two issues. When we arrived back at our apartment the shower had been fixed but not the dishwasher. This wasn't repaired throughout the whole of our stay despite reporting it. This has dissapointed us we didn't expect to have to wash pots whilst away.
