Amazing location
Rooms are small, and to colect keys for your room you need to walk far away with your lugagges (around 10min) to another hotel

The locaion is very central.
The rooms here are not sound proofed, next door were a group with atleast 3 children, it was so noisy and you could hear every conversation. There were no blinds in the bathroom and the window looks straight out on to another persons apartment and cobwebbs on the ceiling. The advert suggested toiletries (plural were included) there were 3 small bottles of shower gel, nothing else. The advert also stated champgane would be included, it was not.

Really central, easy access. Clean and well appointed. No complaints !
Quite a hike with a bag from the Hotel Continental where I collected the key. However didn’t have to do it on check out, so all good!
4.5
Very close to the beach & all the shops/restaurants/pubs. Lots to do & see
There isn't close parking & having to carry your luggage from the parking at the other end of the harbour

The location of the property is great walking distance to everything. If you are looking to spend most of your time outside this is the great place to crash. There is also an option of free parking on a 1st come basis it’s about 10 mins walk from the boathouse which is fine.
There isn’t a lot of room/storage for 2 suitcases. The beds are very large for the room however this is not a major issue.

5.0
The location is ideal. You are on top of the beach, shops, eateries and bracing walk along the sea path. The balcony view top bedroom is such a bonus. The property is so clean. Were there when weather cold and windy but property was warm and cosy. The bath infront of top balcony was tempting but as only there one night too busy packing in much in going out sight seeing but would use if we stayed longer. Great it has parking and Tracy at the continental Hotel where you pick up key card and map directions was so helpful, warm and friendly. She warned us about the lip up to parking spot at the property make sure you take it slow when you pull off to leave. Sloped ceiling in top bedroom is low so if you are tall be mindful as you make your way to getting in and out of the bed. Love the clothes hanging space lights. Fresh milk teas coffees juice and bottled water provided. The hard wired hair dryer in twin room hanging space more powerful than expected as usually this type of dryer isn't. If you are tall and like to stand to look in the mirror to dry your hair you have to crouch as the mirror is on back of the low door of clothes hanging cupboard. We loved the property and will try one of the associated hotel rooms next time.
These are not fault comments as we don't think the property has any just observations - We did a one night mid week booking out of season in Feb so the price was great but not sure we would pay the extra to stay there at peak times when the rate is higher. Be careful on the turned stairs up to the accommodation if you have any mobility issues.

sound proofing awful and very stuffy rooms

amazing location and great inside too!

Central location
The noise in the room was a little like being on the set of the film Poltergeist. We stayed on a particularly windy night, so noise is expected from things out of the control of the room and provider but some of the windows wouldn’t close fully properly so the windows and shutters were banging around. Add to that, the refrigerator started making a loud noise, similar to a WW2 gun turret from 3am to 6am. Overall, we didn’t sleep because of those conditions put together. Add to that Nazi swastika drawn in the dust on the garage doors outside the building made for an all round welcome stay.
4.5
Perhaps a proper table and chairs given the size of accomodation

the location was perfect
the bed could do with a decent mattress topper as it was a bit lumpy bumpy!!
5.0
A great apartment that was in a fantastic location close to restaurants and bars and ofcourse the beach. The apartment was so clean and comfortable!
