Top rated rentals - Castletown

Not quite what we’d hoped.

Great location. Parking space on car park to the rear. Spotlessly clean. William the receptionist / caretaker was excellent. Has everything you need. However, it sells itself as a luxury apartment and it doesn’t live up to it. Eg. In the bedroom there is only one bedside table and lamp. On one corner of the bed there is only six inches in which to get past. The wardrobe is not great quality and the sliding door comes of it’s rail easily. ( can also be put back easily but.. ) in the living room the settee is ok but not the most comfortable. Also no welcome pack unless you count a few sachets of coffee, tea and milk, which I don’t. Considering the cost of renting this place a little remiss. Whilst we enjoyed Castletown we won’t return the Halvaard Appt.
