Sandra
Very quiet neighbours. Without a lift we wouldnât have booked this, but because there is one we were able to stay here (husband has limited mobility). Cracking view from the living room, over the Marina. Really nice bedding & linens - such a comfortable bed! The appliances are all good quality. The heating system is easy to operate and very effective: one control for the bedroom, the other for the rest of the apartment. (The heated towel rail in the bathroom works from the bedroom control). There was a nice welcome pack of a pint of milk & a loaf of Bara Brith, plus thereâs tea, coffee and sugar in tins. Iâd taken with me washing powder, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, toilet rolls & kitchen roll, but these were already provided - a really nice touch! Plenty of utensils and super sharp, good quality knives. A tea towel is provided in the kitchen, & nice quality towels for the bathroom, plus a bath mat. Hairdryer in the bedroom. Drying rack in the bedroom cupboard, & vacuum cleaner in the hall cupboard. Recycling bags provided, & bins located in the car park, although I couldnât find the outside bin for the food waste. We werenât very happy with the lock on the front door. There was no chain on it (broken off) and no bolt to draw across. The extractor fan in the bathroom is powerful but consequently very loud! The shape of the apartmentâs ceiling meant I bumped my head a few times, for example in the bedroom where the chest of drawers is, but I soon learned to be careful! The pretty carpet runner in the hallway was a nuisance - the bathroom door snagged on it a lot as it opens outwards. The kitchen could perhaps do with an extra cupboard for food storage, but we just moved some crockery from the cupboard so we could put our food there, and left some out on the surfaces/table. All in all, a very pleasant stay. We really liked Apartment 16, and in spite of those few ânigglesâ we recommended it to my sister.

Lovely clean and comfortable apartment, bed very comfy with good quality bedding, could do with more cutlery and plates so dishwasher would get less use and front and sitting room door very squeaky and extractor fan very noisy but would definitely stay there again

The apartment was spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Although we brought some items of our own for example, kitchen roll and washing up liquid, there was no need as these items had already been provided. Thank you for leaving us milk and the Bara Brith was delicious. We would definitely stay again and have already recommended the apartment to friends and family
