The only issue we had was that the freezer hadn't been closed properly and had frozen up it took us an hour to clear it so the door closed properly again.

Everything else was lovely, views from the lounge were really nice, in the summer months it would be lovely to sit on the balconies but too cold this time of year. That said had a bird's eye view of the fireworks on Sunday 1st November on the park out the back of the property. Tesco Express & Co-op were great being so close too. Pity there's only one parking space for a 10 person apartment though. Road side parking was quite a way from the apartment. All in all it was a great place to stay lots of toys, books & games & puzzles to enjoy during the stay.

Love this property, so convenient for shops, local park and lovely walks to the sea front.

The only negative we had was the freezer seal needs replacing. Will book again

We had a fantastic weekend and really enjoyed our stay in the apartment.

The accommodation was exactly as described, it had everything we needed and was all set up for our arrival. We loved sitting on the balcony and enjoying the sunshine. A great location so close to the beach!
