"Used for 14 guests, rooms and showers very clean, kitchen not the cleanest but was ok, some of the cookware in need of replacement, tho the spacing of the 3 cookers bemused me, (I did over 3 miles in the kitchen alone on the Saturday). The pool table was a bit of a disappointment, cues with no tips and very dirty cloth, maybe worth getting new cloth and then charging for damage, as easy to spot. Luckily weather was great so we sat outside, but would have been nice to have a tournament. Overall...

"The location is perfect and the efficiency of the staff was very good. We just felt the apartment needs a few decorative touches, in particular the hot tub area as it is rather plain - some ‘twinkly’ lights or artwork would make a huge difference. We would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment to other people and hope our review is constructive and helpful."
