    Only small little negative but this is just my personal nag the fact the blinds in the living room didn’t roll all the at down.

    Location was just perfect for us. Walking distance for everything. Great size for a couple staying. Modern and cosy little apartment. Everything was clean and in working order.

    Front close and stair area could look a bit more welcoming and the lighting in the close area could be brighter found it hard to see to type in pin number.

    Ideal for a few days away spotless,lovely decor and everything you need for when your away would definitely go back.

    It would have been good to have a few cleaning products and cloths/sponges to wipe down the bath and the kitchen. And I think the bed would benefit from one of those mattress toppers from Ikea. But these were only very minor things and didn't affect our stay at all.

    This is a great flat for a couple, very comfortable, we really enjoyed staying there. It has everything you need, all clean and in good order. It's airy when the sun shines and cosy when it doesn't (and it has Now TV, which was a treat when it was pouring with rain one night). Also, I loved all the mirrors! It's in a good central position, which means everywhere in Dunoon is just a short walk away, and you can get to beautiful country walks in no time. We'll be back.

    Traffic noise in the living room is understandable as it's the main road through Dunoon. There was ta bags but no coffee New bath towels

    Internet was fast. But mostly everything suited our needs.

    Some written instructions about heating and TV etc would be helpful. I was able to contact the wonderful housekeeper who was really prompt to assist, but an instruction sheet in the apartment for guests would save bothering her.

    The apartment was really comfortable and a convenient location for a local event I was working at. The living and dining area is spacious, and the apartment is really clean and welcoming. You have everything you need for a short stay in Dunoon (a cafetiere or filter coffee pot would be a welcome addition!)

    Privacy in kitchen and living room was a bit of a problem as the blinds did not roll all the way down. Really minor though.

    Pretty good location, close to local amenities and about 150 years from the waterfront. Free parking close by and plenty of places to see. Small shop just around the corner and a really decent chipshop. Ideal place for a weekend away. Now TV with all subscriptions and some addons such as Disney+ and Netflix for those rainy days if needed. Clean, cozy and warm. Kitchen pretty well equipped too.
