Lovely apartment with a great view. Its a bit of an uphill walk from the town but manageable. It was lovely waking up to a sea view from the main bedroom. The apartment was well equipped and the furniture was lovely. The double bed was exceptionally comfortable. What we didn't like was that food from previous occupants had been left in the freezer and that the apartment felt like it had not been cleaned properly. However this might have been an off week having seen other reviews. Also we have stayed in many properties and this is the first where we were not left a welcome pack of milk etc. In the area we particularly like mcallisters for breakfast a s had a lovely couple of meals in Tawny's. It's a good idea to make reservations as it can be hard to find places to eat in the evening. Overall we gad a great stay.
