We think the apartment would have benefited from a good airing, as it smelt a little damp when we first arrived. Also, as my arthritis has worsened since our last visit, I found the low sofa difficult to get up from, but obviously that second point is a purely personal one that wouldn't bother most people.

We had stayed at this location before so we knew it would be clean, well equipped, quiet and very convenient for our purposes. We also knew the hosts would be welcoming and helpful.

Everything was to like.

It was very good minimal, fresh and clean. It also contained all of the necessities necessary to help your stay. A big thank you for the bottle of wine and shortbread, the welcome card were a lovely surprise.

I found there to be a slight smell of damp in and around the bathroom, which was a bit noticeable especially at night. There seemed to be problem with tiny flies in the kitchen area, which I struggled to eliminate even when all fruit and veg was put into the fridge. There was an incident with a plug-in light device causing a power outage. The hosts attended to this promptly and were very apologetic.

Very pleasant and well equipped apartment. Couldn't have been better located for town centre and railway station. Provisions such as cooking oil and milk were made available, with ample supplies of toilet roll and other such items which are often 'skimped on' in other places. Access to/from the accommodation was nice and simple and I felt safe.

Shortbread and a bottle of bubbly was a really welcome and nice touch. Every box ticked! Would stay again without question!

A couple of days the drains were smelly, but seemed to clear with using the shower etc …

Location, close to my work. But also with plenty to explore in Helensburgh & 100 yards from the sea !!! Everything as stated online, a comfortable bed & quiet area at night.

No option to open the bedroom window so it felt a bit stuffy as the week went on. Other than that we were really happy with the accommodation.

The apartment was really warm and had everything in it we needed. The hosts left us a nice welcome card and bottle of wine which we appreciated.

Nice touch of the owners to leave us a bottle of bubbly and a pint of milk in the fridge, not to mention the shortbread with the welcome card.

We were perfectly happy with everything.

We had stayed at the apartment before, so we knew it was perfect for our needs in every regard. It's very comfortable, clean and accessible (I have mobility issues), conveniently close to family and shops, and very easy to find and check in. We will book again.

There was a small problem with the mattress on the bed...it was a bit soft for us.😊 We still give 10 points.

We were completely satisfied with the facilities and cleanliness. Everything went as we discussed. It is in a very good location in the city, easily accessible, you can park your car. The hosts are very kind and friendly.

As soon as o walked in it looked beautiful but I could smell damp. There was black mould in the bathroom Especially high up probably because there is no window only a fan, it was spotless clean tho. I could see mould behind window shutters in bedroom. The neighbour next door had tv up very loud til 3am so that again wasn’t owners fault but just to be mindful if you are a light sleeper. And the main door to building was left open off the latch which I felt a bit uneasy about Incase anyone walked in from street

So cute and cozy Had everything you need.

Penny was a great hostess! Loved the little card with shortbread and the wine in the fridge. I'd definitely stay here again. There's a shop next door you can walk to.

Immaculately clean! The location was in a great spot just behind the water front. Had a couple of nice walks down the lock. Close to all amenities. The cleaner who called round while i was at work halfway through my stay (11 nights) to change the linen went above and beyond. She is very attentive and good at her job. Nice welcome pack on arrival, which is a great touch. I will definitely return if available on my next visit.

Nothing. Everything was great.

This is a very comfortable one bedroom apartment on the ground floor in a quiet part of central Helensburgh train and only a few minutes walk to Helensburgh Central train station and a 10 - 15 minute walk to Helensburgh Upper Station (for the West Highland Rail trip). The apartment is well appointed and suitable for cooking meals. The shower is the best I have used so far into our 4 country and multiple locations stays. Great pressure and plenty of hot water. Decent sized rooms too so we didn’t feel cramped. The washing machine and drying rack and iron etc. were very welcomed. Useful pantry items available for use. A lovely gift left in the fridge along with some locally made shortcake. On street parking was easy and adjacent to the property (not connected to or in view) is a useful Tesco Express / Petrol Station. Also so close to the inlet and a lovely walk along the water. Penny and Alex (property hosts) responded promptly and helpfully to our queries and gave excellent instructions on how to access the apartment upon arrival. We had a hiccup on our last night in the way of being stranded in Fort William after flash flooding prevented our train returning us to Helensburgh. I contacted Penny late in the evening to explain we may not be back in time to checkout by the required time the next morning and she couldn’t have been more helpful and reassuring us that it would all be fine. We finally located a taxi to drive us 2hrs back to Helensburgh and Penny kindly extended our check out time in the morning so we could have a proper rest before driving on to the Isle of Skye today. Highly recommend Cedar Apartments to people reading this review and we will definitely return if back in Scotland again. Thank you Penny and Alex.

Can't think of anything

Location was ideal for where I needed to be, property was comfy & cosy, nice warm powerful shower with a big enclosure. Plenty of parking spaces on the street in front of the property. Decor was fresh, apartment was well maintained & clean, tea, coffee and sugar provided along with other essentials, there was milk & a nice wee treat of a few beers left in the fridge for me when I arrived. Hosts were very helpful, spoke to Penny when she phoned to make sure I arrived OK & was told just to call her if I needed help with anything, also had a nice wee welcome card to greet me when I arrived at the apartment.

Location was super. Just a short walk into town. Plenty of parking space outside the property. A pleasant surprise for us in the fridge. Penny was very helpful. She even turned the heating on for us as she realised we would be arriving late.

Nothing - probably best airbnb type stay I've ever had!

Great location - parking was super easy and so close to town. Flat was extremely clean and had everything we needed, lovely and cosy to come home to especially after a particularly stormy day. Heating was also really easy to adjust as needed. Really thoughtful gifts from the owners made the stay even more special.
