The apartment is spacious, spotlessly clean, well maintained and in a great seafront location. We particularly enjoyed the balcony area and the lovely sea view. The apartment has every facility for a comfortable stay and the hosts additional touches of a cream tea, prosecco, fruit and fresh flowers were greatly appreciated. We would highly recommend.

The layout of the apartment is ideal and the views out to sea from the balcony are fantastic. In general the apartment is also very quiet at night. However, the interconnecting fire door to the hotel isn't very well sound-insulated. so loud staff/neighbours can be a problem Whilst the accuracy of the images is very good, the apartment could do with a little maintenance to bring it back to top-notch standard.
