    “Ideal location to be so close to town centre 5 mins walk.”

    Very comfortable and relaxing place to stay with everything you need for a comfortable break.No designated parking by apartment but managed to unload outside on arrival and park in Booth’s to load on departure. Whilst there roadworks outside but not too much of and issue. Main bus depot next door but again not excessively noisy. All round a lovely apartment to stay in. Shame about the weather so spent lots of time boosting the many pub’s economy!! Enjoyed so much we hope to return to stay ...
