18 Southtown

Plenty of crockery and cutlery so we could use dishwasher. Lovely fluffy big towels. All nice and clean and easy access to the flat.

The sofas in the lounge -more so the large dark blue one- was extremely uncomfortable with it's worn down seat cushions. Impossible to sit comfortably on it.

Fantastic location, house as described- very clean, warm and had everything we needed including plenty of crockery etc for dishwasher, plus washing machine. Able to store bikes in courtyard at the back and do cycles and walks from the flat which was great. Maps and walk books also really useful . Lovely views over the bay and 5-10 mins max walk to shops etc.

Wifi wasn’t great and couldn’t get the TV to connect to anything other than standard TV but we just used a laptop so not a major issue

Location and view

Once we had made the beds and bought towels, we were able to relax and begin enjoying our stay. The apartment is situated above town and a short and pleasant walk away. The kitchen is well appointed. Our overall impression is that the accomodation is spacious and the level of comfort fair, if very dated.

We arrived to find the beds unmade. There were no towels on any. We managed to find some linen in a drawer of the main bedroom, but the sheets did not fit the beds. Searching further, we found just one towel in, a drawer of the second bedroom. The letting office could only be contacted in an emergency; we had arrived on a Sunday. We went and bought ourselves three bath towels at Sainsburys, which were fortunately still open. Matters were not resolved the following day as it was a Monday Bank Holiday. When finally we did get to speak with a representative, We were told that there had been a miss communication with the property owners. We felt thoroughly unimpressed! The place had also not been recently cleaned, as evidenced by a layer of dust on surfaces.
