The microwave had not been cleaned, there were bits of food inside. There were dirty footprints in the shower and the carpets did not appear to have been vacuumed. The small towel that was left in the bathroom was dirty, and there were no refuse bags in the apartment to put any rubbish. Worst of all, the flat had a very large number of carpet/clothes moths emerging from the carpets in every room, which caused us to have to keep all our clothes in our cases at all times, to stop cross infestation of our own homes on our return. This spoilt the relaxation aspect of our holiday, as we were constantly having to be aware of where we were putting and storing our clothes. I am now in the process of washing and sterilising all of my clothes, both worn and unworn, to stop any infestation, along with all of my bags and suitcase. Also, the sofa was very uncomfortable to sit on . We had to sit on cushions because it was so hard. The handle on the patio door in the bedroom was so close to the frame that I caught my fingers in it several times when closing it. It also appeared that the bathroom extractor fan did not remove any condensation, and it looked as though the slats were closed on it. This left the bathroom very damp and humid.

It is well equipped, very clean and quiet and at the top of the high street, an easy walk to the sea and to restaurants.

Clean, comfortable with plenty of space - my only tiny gripe was a complete lack of welcome pack....it would have been nice to have some tea, coffee and milk available on arrival. But that is a very minor thing compared with the overall great experience - i would definitely book again.
