Only after some telephone-calls we got the correct code and eventually were able to enter the flat. The flat is fine - especially for us - only two persons. But !!! - we hadn't been warned that there is a building-site next to our seats in front of the house. We would have expected to be informed about this and would have appreciated to have been offered a slight reduction of the booking fee. In the past we stayed in different flats in THE CRAIGHURST. Last year we were informed two weeks before our arrival (!!!) that our booking must be cancelled due to building-works. So THE CRAIGHURST doesn't give us only pleasant memories...

The flat was well presented, roomy and had everything we needed.

The T.V. remote had a mind of it's own! For a disabled person more grab rails would be useful in bathrooms. Other than that it is a very well situated apartment - very spacious indeed. We hope to return as it is very rare to find accommodation like this which suits our needs because my husband is disabled.
