Guests say

Guests have praised the apartment's stunning seafront views and prime location, with easy access to local amenities and the harbour. The property offers a lovely garden and is pet-friendly, providing a comfortable stay. Some guests noted issues with heating and accessibility, suggesting the need for maintenance and improvements for those with mobility concerns.

The property is generally described as very clean, with no negative comments on cleanliness. However, due to a lack of multiple explicit mentions, the score cannot be perfect.

The location is highly praised for its beautiful views and proximity to the town centre and amenities, making it an ideal base for exploring.

Comfort is rated well, with the property being described as comfortable and having a nice place to stay. However, some guests found the sofas uncomfortable and the bedroom cold, indicating room for improvement.

Facilities are adequate with good broadband and a garden, but issues with heating, a broken can opener, and a dripping tap suggest the need for better maintenance.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner, so this category cannot be scored.
