This is a brilliant apartment with a gold star view.

This is a brilliant apartment with a gold star view. We really needed a place to land for Christmas, having moved out of our home and with nowhere to go, before the new house was ready. We could not have picked a better spot. The apartment is comfortable, spacious and full of light, with a great kitchen and two bathrooms. We were mesmerised by the view over the bay - both day and night. Parking was handy too. We stayed three weeks and only had one problem, when the boiler failed the day before we left. Graham was down in 5 minutes and fixed the issue straight away. Can't say enough good things about this place. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Had a lovely holiday in this apartment.

Had a lovely holiday in this apartment.....have stayed here before 5 years ago....the views are outstanding.....and it is very spacious.....nice too to have an outside space that is undercover....such a quiet and relaxing break....There is one designated parking place, but we did have a problem trying to park the second car when we arrived.....but in saying that it was half term.....all in all a beautiful apartment and hopefully will return again.

We had a great time during our stay, excellent location and the view is amazing.

We had a great time during our stay, excellent location and the view is amazing. Communication between both myself and the owner was very good. I highly recommend you stay here should you get the chance. The only downside to the holiday is that it’s very hilly and lots of steps not for the infirm my father in law found it hard to get about. The apartment it’s self only had steps down to it but once inside it’s all on one level. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

It’s a lovely apartment in a great location. Sadly due to Covid there was no access to the garden or rock walk exit but this didn’t detract from a great week. We would definitely use again. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
