The apartment was close to town centre and with a dedicated car parking space. We have a Hyundai I20 and this size of car was okay. Our only issue was, the marking on the floor could have been repainted. And on the Sykes description should have mentioned you must put a display on your windscreen to show your vehicle registration and mobile number. We only discovered the next morning that this was a requirement. Good job because the Traffic Wardens are ruthless. The views from the apartment were spectacular. We would pull up the rocking chair, open the window and enjoy the views towards Sandsend. We received a welcome bag of goodies. John the owner was very helpful. The apartment was spotless, plenty of storage space in each bedroom and the beds were very comfortable. Loved our time there would highly recommend it.
