Perfect for a base and has all you need for a great stay.
Perfect for a base and has all you need for a great stay. My only criticism is that the mattress was way to soft for us and maybe could be for other people.

This was a lovely apartment.
This was a lovely apartment. A bit tricky to find, because the address isn't directly visible from the street, but other than that, it was great. Quiet, clean, comfortable and well-stocked. The five minute walk to the private beach was a real treat, and there's a massive ASDA only fifteen minutes' walk away. Really great for a working holiday.

Overall very good.
Overall very good. Bed a little soft for our tastes. Walk to Charlestown very manageable but walk to (from) private beach would be little more challenging for some. Enjoyed our stay.
Spacious, clean, comfortable, everything we could have wanted! Scones and Hamper were a really nice touch and early access to the property was very much appreciated. Best property we’ve stayed in.
