Couldn't fault it

We stayed in the Fir Apartment and we were very happy with it, clean, modern, fully equipped and only 5 minutes stroll from Shanklin Beach. As I said in the title, we couldn't fault it.

Prima vakantie appartement met goede voorzieningen en op loopafstand van de Esplanade. De parkeerplaats bij het appartement vonden wij erg krap. Beter om op straat te parkeren.

Many thanks for your kind review. We’re really pleased you found Fir comfortable. Many thanks also for your feedback. A none slip mat for the shower should have been provided. We’re sorry if the mat wasn’t there for your stay. We think grab rails are a good idea. We are going to install them over the winter. It would be a pleasure to welcome you again in the future. Best wishes. Sue
