The apartments are modern, clean and have everything provided for a great stay whatever the weather. Close to the town centre with secure parking, makes this the perfect place to stay. The only downside to our stay this year (and it's a minor one) is the hardness of the pillows which caused one of us lack of sleep. However this has now been reported to the staff at the accommodation we are confident that will be rectified immediately, such is the nature of the owner. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in this lovely town.

Property very well equipped and very clean. Superb extra thoughtful touches added, flowers, bread, milk and treats. Secure on site parking (when other residents bothered to close the garage door) which was hardly ever. I had to go out each day to close it with the remote device. Unfortunately the kind size bed was dreadfully uncomfortable. After two nights lacking in sleep we had to flip the mattress (window side) as the edge springs in places were completely collapsed. A trip to Argos helped with the purchase of a mattress topper. The pillows, although there were many were awfully flat and hard. Quality not quantity should be the rule here. Time to invest in new bed, bedding and pillows as a good nights sleep is the number one requirement of any holiday.
