I originally had booked the apartment for February half term, but dew to unfortunate family circumstances i had to cancel at very last minute. The owners were so kind and generous and allowed to to move the date. Thank you!I loved the time away in Westgate. Myself and Ernie (my dog) enjoyed many walks there and around.

This is a first floor, elegant apartment, only 50m from the sea front. Very nicely decorated & furnished with a small balcony and access to a small enclosed back garden (shared by all 6 flats). Quite well equipped kitchen with fridge freezer washing machine and small dishwasher, but a little lacking in some basics like peeler, spatula, tongs and oven proof dishes. Usefully owner stocks up the tea, coffee, laundry and dishwasher pods, including salt pepper grinder, oil etc. but sadly no welcoming milk or other goodies.Beware the shower as goes from ice cold to scaldingly hot with a half millimetre turn of control!!
