The view from the back doors does offer the enchanting view of the castle, as advertised on the Sykes' site. The directions received on how to find the place were not super clear but we managed to find it without too much inconvenience thanks to Google's help. At first glance, the property looks fabulous but some things were not as perfect as they seem. The 2 high dining chairs were hard and uncomfortable to get in and out of and is the only place to eat with the chairs sitting mere inches from the washroom door. The wooden armrest covers are heavy and fall easily to the floor with a loud crash. It would also have been appreciated if there was a place to hang coats and a small doormat. It rained a little bit during our stay and there is nowhere near the door to hang gear to dry, the only doormat to wipe off footwear is located outside the room so the floor got a little dirty when we removed our outerwear. The bedding and pillows were simply lovely but the bed itself was too soft for our comfort. At times, the noise from the street was audible and would wake us briefly, but it was not really awful. The heavy curtains really helped to block light as well as noise. We really appreciated having the dishwasher as there are not many pieces of each plates, bowls, cutlery etc. Thank you for the Welsh cakes, instant coffee, sugar, and milk as well. We would stay again if we were in the area for a short stay. On a side note, the fish and chips we had on our last night from the shop below was FABULOUS!! One of the best cod we've ever had! (I believe the establishment is owned by the same owner as the apartment.)
