    Only down was the stairs, they certainly gave you a work out, but the apartment was worth the effort.

    The view was spectacular, the whole apartment was comfortable and relaxing, loved watching the wildlife and boats.

    The stairs were a challenge (even our dog stopped at No3 after a while). We were aware of them before we arrived so we were prepared for them.

    Great location with fantastic views across the bay. All amenities were catered for. Owner made sure everything was in place, with additional touches (Christmas dec’s and mince pies).

    Stairs were a bit hard work for me as I have asthma, but don’t let that put you off as I just took my time and when you get to the apartment it is well worth it

    If you don't like climbing stairs, it might be a problem, but we soon got used to it. A small price to pay for the stunning view.

    A lovely comfortable and convenient apartment. The view of the sea from the living room and balcony was stunning!

    I would say the stairs, which we knew about in advance but the bonus of that was that it was good exercise after all the treats we had over the weekend 😅

    Comfortable apartment and had everything we needed. Lovely views from the balcony and the sound of the sea was good for the soul 😁

    The noise from seagulls, church bells and people outside at night time and in the early morning. Although, julie had thought of this and provided us with ear plugs. These were a good addition and helped us sleep through the noise.

    The property has everything you need to make you feel at home. The extra touches were well thought out and the apartment was comfortable and warm. The views from the balcony were amazing and really made it for us!

    My biggest gripe wasn’t so much about the property but the fact that it lacked its own parking space. If you could find a parking space outside then you could only park for one hour! You then had to move it for the rest of the day to a chargeable car park! If you are happy to factor in a daily charge of £15 then that’s fine but if you have anything heavy to carry then you won’t be too pleased?!

    The properties location on the seafront was lovely and it had everything you needed to fully enjoy your stay.

    The climb up the stairs is hard work - but definitely worth it!

    The view from the balcony is amazing, and the location right next to the harbour is great. The property was well equipped, clean and comfortable (it might be a bit cosy for 4 adults, but was perfect for 2).

    The apartment is on the top floor of a 4 storey building via several flights of stairs. Pack light as there is very limited parking near by so bags have to be carried to the house then hauled up all those stairs. The view is worth the effort. There is only a couple of inches between the bed and walls or furniture so you have to climb over the bed to get to the bathroom. Lots of noisy seagulls.

    Stunning location right on the cliff with beautiful views from the living room and balcony.
