Sue
Everything you need, very comfortable, very well equipped kitchen, lovely huge bed, great location with parking. Just one comment Iâd make is that for about half of our stay there was a van or car parked outside the front door. Not an issue this time but we have already booked 3 apartments for next year when we will have people with us with mobility issues and if vehicles are parked there it could be an issue getting in or out

Close proximity to Town centre and railway station. Parking space in well ventilated and spacious garage, which was secure. Welcoming pack contained all we needed for the first cup of tea after the journey. We met some of the staff on arrival who could not have been any more helpful. All in all a very pleasant and restful stay.

The couple of niggles we had were swiftly taken care of Jo was very responsive. A couple of comments I would make is that the settee needs to be larger or there needs to be a foot rest like a pouffe. The lamps at the side of the bed were unfortunately not bright enough for me to read by either brighter bulbs required or a lighter coloured shade would be perfect. However the apartment was in a lovely position and having the secure parking was a big bonus.
