We had a great time at Jacks stay. The flat was great, it is nicely renovated and was spotlessly clean. It included everything we needed and a handy location for the supermarket and easy walk into town.

First class renovation all you need supplied Clean ,Modern , Just great you could move in no problem
Couple of points to know there are steps up to the property which could be slippy so be aware and there’s a fiddly process for the water for the shower we did the first three days not realising you had to change a setting on the boiler for hot water !!!
Now we know I will book again
The reason not given 5 star oven and trays very very greasy Bonit took them away first day saying she thought they needed industrial cleaning we never saw her or trays again so could not use oven for the holiday and was not contacted by anyone for rest of the week
We had a lovely time staying at this apartment. It was very well appointed and great location.
The information from our host was great and timely. The apartment has clearly been recently decorated and was in excellent condition with all the amenities you could hope for. I would highly recommend others taking advantage of this lovely location and property
