Martin was so lovely. I got stuck in traffic on the way down and was late arriving but he kept in touch and let me know about potential obstruction en route. He talked me through everything when I got there and was just generally friendly and on-hand for anything we needed. The place was bigger than the photos made it look and very comfortable and cosy during some stormy weather. The deer, the autumn sunshine, the surrounds were all gorgeous and the apartment has everything you might need. We had a lovely few days - wish we could have stayed longer!
