What people say

I loved the slipper bath and felt it added a real sense of luxury to the bathroom. I spent a good 30 mins in it, unwinding and reading my book. I liked the privacy of the apartment and that staff did not hover but were there when you needed them. Very central, within walking distance of the main street, restaurants and attractions. Staff were very helpful with good suggestions of places to go. Fabulous!.

Location was perfect, very central and very calm. Good privacy Big Parking. Manager(Jenny)and staff(Dillon,Ilse and others) excellent.Very helpful. I had a great room up stairs. My friends room downstairs was smaller. Lovely Location. Comfortable room and decent bathroom. Our lovely suite. Location,location. Friendly reception and kitchen staff. The location was excellent as I did not have to use my car the whole weekend. I really can't think of anything. I thoroughly enjoyed my "mini" holiday and will definitely visit again especially if there is a Groupon deal which I just missed!. not particularly good wifi in the room but we didn't use it much anyway!. Nothing. Wifi wasn't working well but they said IT guy was supposed to come to fix it. This visit we were in room 1, unfortunately didn't sleep well due to the outside light shinning into the room! Need to put up a blackout blind at the door if possible!. Not much to dislike!. N/A. No privacy when room doors open. Doors open onto noisy street corner,Can't do anything about this I think. The bathroom was quite cold, and the floor was cold generally. Carpeting or under floor heating would have been great. You couldnt shower without flooding the entire bathroom. No bar fridge in the bedrooms and no hangers in the cupboards which they did rectify once notified.
