Perfectly situated for restaurants and surrounding attractions.

Parking was very difficult because of time of year we visited,the flat could be a little noisy at times in the evening because of position ( above pub) but didn’t really affect our stay , overall a lovely little flat with everything that is needed.

It was right on the Main Street, very nicely decorated and a good price. There was no washing machine so clothes etc couldn’t be washed.

We had a wonderful short break, and to be able to pop back to the flat was a real treat.

Central location brilliant. The flat was warm, and beautifully presented. Shower amazing. Lots of hanging pegs, which is always helpful.

Fantastic apartment in a great location cannot recommend enough we had a fabulous stay

Location was brilliant. There was everything you would need in the apartment and more. The beds were really comfortable and the towels were a nice size for the larger body. The information and instruction booklet was a really nice touch, it was lovely to read about the history of the house. We loved everything but if I have to put something then instructions on how to work the TV to get radio and how to play DVDS would be good in the instruction booklet. Also (although it wasn’t an issue for us) people need to be aware of the steps both up to the apartment and inside to the bedrooms and bathroom
