A lovely, spotless and well equipped base for a short or long break.Comfortable, spacious and easy to manage. Good heating available, we didn't need much.(Mid November!)Within 5 or 6 minutes walk of the town centre and a lovely park for our dog, with a Spar shop and a lovely bakery opposite the apartment.There is a steep staircase to the apartment but it has a good handrail. Thoroughly recommended, we will be back!
