The property was in a great location. It was about a 20 min walk to the Quayside and 25 minutes to the town centre. It was in a nice area and there was room to park outside the property. The apartment was lovely, it was very clean and had good facilities. We thought it was better than the photos actually reflected. It had a lovely small outdoor area with table and chairs for outdoor socialising which is lit by solar operated lights. The property has a number of stairs so for any mobility issues it could be difficult but for young children there are stair gates for their safety. I would highly recommend this property.
