Many thanks for your kind comments and also for leaving the apartment so clean and tidy before leaving. You went above and beyond with all the cleaning you did and stripping the bed. There was really no need for you to do this. I would happily welcome you both back at any time
Although there was on site restaurant it was closed for bookings and only take away Saturday and Sunday, then beginning of new week it did not open until Thursday and was fully booked both remaining days even though tried booking for Friday on Thursday. Of course there are cooking facilities in the room but when you book a week away you would like ro be able to have a meal without having to drive.
Apart from this we really enjoyed our stay in a lovely place.
