Fabulous little flat. Had an issue with the cooker which was repaired very quickly. Great communication. Staying for longer than planned.

Nice well equiped apparment/ maisonette in walking distance to the town centre and all amenities through the park over the road from the property. Quiete and peaceful despite closeness to the town.

What more do you need?

Steven Wells, on 2025-05-19

I had read reviews on different platforms and I feel in the main the negative comments are unreasonable. So let me deal with those first. Is it safe / in a safe area? I would say yes. It is a mixed accommodation building. Some the outside of adjacent doorways could do with investment, but that's someone else's issue. This apartment is well presented inside and out. If you feel intimidated by the odd Eastern European accent, then keep browsing. The neighbours are both Eastern European and lovely. I could hear a conversation which in the accents sounded a tad aggressive, I walked out and there is three middle aged ladies sat around a garden table by their front door making the noise. I simply say "good morning ladies" and one shouted (in her mind said, but I'm Southern English so the volume to me was a shout) "come come have morning coffee". Just, genuine neighbourly type behaviour, it actually put a smile in my soul for a while. Is it risky around there? Like any neighbourhood, you go looking for trouble I reckon you could find it. There's a park opposite, there are a significant number of council CCTV cameras up which to me normally indicates to be on guard. But from walking around both day and night (I was with my dog), I felt completely safe and met nothing that caused me a concern. So much so, I would even question the need for CCTV at all. I have an old Porsche which can at times draw unwanted attention. It was parked out the back and was exactly how I left it each time. I consider it is a safe property to stay at. Small bedroom. Hell yes is small! There is a reasonable sized double bed in there though. How they got it in I am not sure, but it is there. If you want to hang out in a bedroom all day long or have your clothes hanging from a wardrobe, again, scroll on to the next property. If you want a bed, which is actually really VERY comfortable and can easily accommodate two people to sleep in, this ticks the box. One of my own: I would prefer the shower to be more powerful, but honestly, that is just me being a bit picky. The internals of the property are smart, clean, and exactly as in the picture. Everything works and all basic needs are accommodated for including cutlery, plates, glasses, microwave, washing up liquid, towels.... what more could you need? Sofa looks like it will break your back but again is outrageous in how surprisingly comfortable it is. I even fell asleep on it when I had no intention to it is that comfy. For me the kicker which is a real bonus, is the private courtyard. Again, it is small, perhaps 3mx3.5m ish but it has a garden bench, it is a really nice sun trap and if you are travelling with an animal, is a secure enclosed space for them to use. I've stayed in many places with outside spaces, but this one being fully enclosed by fences and walls well over 6ft and secure. For me that makes this place stand out as a resource. Finally, comms with owners. Awesome! Blunt talking, 'it is this and it is that, we can do this, we can't do that'. No airy fairy corporate impersonal vanilla gibberish, just straight to the point honest one 2 one comms. For me, that's perfect! Overall, considering the price, I was very happy with my stay. Tempted, very temped to give it a 5star but taking a step back and a considered critical view - a strong 4star!
