Fab acommodation in lovely area

this accommodation was excellent and in a really great area. Spacious and bright rooms-very comfortable, huge balcony with doors leading out from the lounge and both bedrooms. The apartment was accessed from your own private garage underneath which was a great bonus. Very well equipped kitchen had everything you need. Even a washing machine & dryer in the garage. Would recommend to all ages and would love to stay again. Check in was well organised and very friendly staff

Peaceful and rejuvenating.

Excellent if you seek to relax at a quiet location. It was like home from home. I have enjoyed every moment and would recommend this place to families and couples who need a breakaway from the hustle and bustle of city noise.

Supert!

En fantastisk leilighet på et fint sted. Fin utsikt, men noe støy fra gaten og marineskolen.
