We had a lovely long weekend stay to visit family and go to the Miners Gala. The flat is really spacious and has all you need. Emma responded quickly to my questions. We'd definitely stay there again.

Another comfortable and warm stay in this spacious apartment. It’s in a very central location, close to the castle, and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. Note, though, that the key code is not changed between rentals.
