Second visit to this flat. Not so lucky with the weather this time. Still enjoyed the lovely view from the windows. Very comfortable bed, not so comfortable settee. We were lucky to get free parking outside the flats. Ate at the Bridport Arms a couple of times. Very nice, their Sunday roast was delicious. Very convenient as opposite the flat.

My word - what a wonderful location. Excellent comms with the owners. The apartment has clearly had a refurb in recent years and so was very clean and tidy. For a couple and our dog, it had everything we needed. Parking was very straight-forward. Eating breakfast while watching over the harbour in the morning was a joy. The public entrance is datedRead more and leaves a little to be desired (not owners' responsibility). All in all, a totally enjoyable week. Thank you. Keith & Rhiannon - and Yogi. Hide
