    Absolutely nothing.

    Lovely apartment in a good location. Everything was spotless and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we could need and the living/dining area was light and airy. The bed was super comfortable with lovely fresh white bed linen. The Leeds Arms (lovely pub!) is a stones throw away, for a few nightcaps, the perfect end to the day! There is a view of the sea at the back and you can see the castle from the front! The wine, cakes, milk, tea and coffee was very welcome! We would love to stay again!

    If you have mobility problems, the way up from the seafront is very steep cobbles. The flat is also up steep stairs.

    Superbly clean little flat with excellent facilities and an owner who is extremely helpful.

    It was a lovely quiet area/property, a surprise as it's so close to the bustling sea front.

    The parking was bad. We could hear every word the people upsairs said (shouted) to each other, I think it was them more than the property.

    Nothing, 10/10!

    The communication in advance of the trip was great, the apartment and location were superb. The welcome gifts of chocolates, wine, milk and cake went down very well after a long drive! Along with bag of sweets for my son were all a very nice touch on arrival. Would recommend and stop again!

    Wow❣️ The property was spotlessly clean, in a great location. Every little detail had been thought of, even down to towels & slippers, wine & chocolates in the fridge, hairdryer & straightners in the wardrobe 😊 The informative welcome folder had all local knowledge that you would need. The property is literally 1minute from the seafront & a 15minute walk from the town. Free parking right outside the door. The decor and “feel” of the property was just perfect, and felt very spacious with all the windows, some of which you had a lovely see view from. The communication of the hostess, was spot on! Any queries asked, were promptly replied to and even down to local info regarding bus services. Ive stayed in hotels in the uk & abroad that could certainly learn some standards from this hostess & property 😉

    Nothing it’s lovely.

    It’s beautifully presented, immaculately clean, with excellent facilities and loads of little touches, a bottle of wine and a pint of milk in the fridge, complimentary slippers, sea view over the roof tops. They’ve really thought of everything.

    The downstairs guests were very noisy and kept arguing and squabbling one night till after 3 a.m. and sleep was thus impossible till they stopped their squabbling, but that's no reflection on Ruth - obviously not! Just my bad luck, I suppose.

    The location was ideal being only minutes from the seafront. A warm welcome awaited with lots of extra goodies and it was an ideal property in which to relax - very comfortable bed, a good sized kitchen with all necessary things, splendid tvs in the sitting room and bedroom, an excellent shower and very clean bathroom - Ruth had thought of everything!

    The only thing is the parking, we had to drive around for quite a while to find a parking space which was quite abit away from the appartment so walking with your luggage etc is a down side, but parking permit was great.

    The appartment is an absolute dream too stay in,spotless and everything you need, excellent location,we'd 100%stay here again and again.
