Good until....

The apartment was good, close to the town and good views, but the shower when turned on sent my wife to the end of the bath as it was so powerful, then flew off the shower hanger. There was a small water leak by the sink, which must have been reported by the previous people, so you can imagine our surprise when a plumber turned up at 22.15 on a Saturday night to fix it, we were in bed, he knocked twice and then let himself in, needless to say we sent him on his way without doing our plumbing at that time.

Booked for mum & aunties (60th birthday treat)

A great little property right opposite the beach. Good walking distance to the pier, St Leonard’s and shops. Good WiFi and Netflix was a bonus too. My mum and aunts loved the stay. X
