A really nice apartment. Clean and very comfortable. Well equipped.Close to the high street, so all the pubs, restaurants and shops are very close. A short walk to the harbour. Top tip there is an excellent bakery opposite which opens at 7.30am. Parking is ok. The outside sun deck is a nice place in the sun. Only criticism is that when we stayed it was very hot so bedroom window was wide open as there was no fan. So there is plenty of noise from High Street, but got used to it. Also there is a washing machine but there wasn’t anything to dry clothes on ie a airer or a line on the sun deck. But that’s being picky the place is excellent and we loved it. Would highly recommend.

Amazing apartment, really stylish and comfortable and has everything you needI booked it because it had parking and a great location. The parking can be difficult if the people at the attached property have a big car or don’t think about the right way to park, which did happen when I was there. Location is fabulous, close to everything. Bedroom is at the front which is on the high street and can be noisy on Friday and Saturday nights - or when the shop downstairs is getting a big lorry delivery at midnight! Wasn’t expecting that!But the place is really nicely decorated and has all you could want including a fabulous outside area. I really liked it and would stay again if I was in the area again
