The central location was also excellent. The thermostat for the heating is pre set at 15c for morning and evening and although there is a manual override it reverts back to 15c after each heating period. As a result it was often cool when we returned and the towel rails did not come on in the morning until we woke up and did the override. The internet is very very slow - too slow to support i-player on the smart TV in the living area.

We had a very enjoyable stay again. It is a very comfortable appartment and fantastic location especially if you have young children or grandchildren in my case as you are so close to the seafront so you can come back very easily if one or the other of them is cold for example. Our complaint last year was that the shower did not drain very quickly but I can see that this has been fixed which was brilliant. This appartment is perfect for 2 adults and 2 children but as previous reviews have stated 4 adults would be a bit of a squeeze definitely. We all loved it and are hoping to come back again next year.

Could hear the sound of the waves at night, very relaxing. Restaurants, and amusements a short walk away - and we enjoyed mini golf and a fishing trip. Bathroom small as per previous feedback, but this was not an issue. Would be tight for 4 adults, but great for 2 adults and a teenager!!
