It was wonderful to spend time in this beautiful, cosy apartment. It had everything we needed and more! The hosts were lovely and we really appreciated the welcome goods on arrival.
The bed was super comfy and the location to the town and beach was perfect.
Thank you

Overall a very good holiday experience and we had everything we needed and more.
(The cake, flowers etc was a nice touch after our long journey). Also, we were relieved when we were able to park our estate car with no problem. The only issue we had was that we found the bed quite uncomfortable, (Although I suppose that it just depends on what you are used to).
Very good

The owners had made great use of the limited space available and the property was decorated and detailed to very high standard. Cleanliness was also exemplary. Unfortunately neither of us found the sofa nor the living area chair particularly comfortable, and the location of said seats relative to the television did not provide for a comfortable viewing experience
