We normally stayed at cottages with family, but we chose differently this time without kids and dog. The High Spy was in very convenient location, everything was walking distance. We just went out for dinner so we didnât cook, but looks fabulous kitchen facilities. (Maybe too modern for us though) The view from kitchen was great! As the advice where to park was good to know. The streets were busy all the time, but we managed to park somehow. We used corner shop just downstairs and local supermarket to get some breakfast and lunch for hiking. Although Indian restaurant was downstairs, and I thought it might be noisy at Saturday night, but we couldnât hear anything. So peaceful stayed. Thank you very much for beautiful flat.

Property was very clean . Communal staircase not very well looked after and did not like the fact that front door from Road was not to be locked at any time a lot of people entering the building until late at night, maybe a key pad could be fitted ??

Fixtures & fittings were of a very high quality, clean & well maintained. As advertised it is street parking, which we had no issues with even though it was peak tourist time.
