Lovely apartment.

Our accomadation was changed from The Carrick Retreat to Bay Veiw a couple of weeks before we arrived. On a whole our apartment was very nice and clean, bathroom was lovely with towels supplied, the bed was very comfortable with super soft linen. We had a couple of maintenance issues and one of the arm chairs had a broken leg and the sofa which converts to a bed was quite uncomfortable and also had loose arms. When we called the maintenance issues in the staff were very apologetic and mannerly.This didn't stop us having a lovely stay and would definitely book with you again.

Quiet location

We enjoyed our stay at Donnini apartments. Wonderful view out the sitting room window. Check in was a bit of a trial as we couldn't figure where the keys were. After finding them, it made some sense but that was not really an issue. The place was really quiet (nice for us seniors). Smaller than we two Americans were used too but fine for our Scottish friends. We had a really lovely visit.
