Modern North Bay Apartment Sea Glimpses & Views

Stylish. Practical. Comfortable.

No negatives

The apartment location was perfect for what we needed and the apartment itself was lovely and comfortable for our stay. We appreciated the parking permit and was lucky to find a space on the day we arrived, although was tricky when we returned back one evening and had to pop out later to move the car again. The hosts have thought of everything to accommodate their guests and it’s really does offer a real home from home.

For all of the positives of the property, the external noise at nighttime was a real issue for us and we didn’t get much sleep either night due to the road noise and passers by shouting and talking loudly until the early hours on both days. The blinds do not block out the sun so we were also woken around 4am when the sun came up. Some blackout curtains would certainly help and may muffle out some road noise. Unfortunately due to the poor sleep from the noise and light, we would not return to this apartment when visiting relatives again which is a shame as otherwise it ticks all of the boxes.

The apartment was clean, comfortable, and provided all the amenities that we needed. Everything worked. Louise was very helpful answering our queries before our arrival. We like the location.

The flat was clean and well equipped. And there were some positive aspects that are often lacking in holiday accommodation e.g. hooks behind bathroom and bedroom doors, plenty of dishwasher tablets.

I'm sorry we couldn't give a higher score, mainly because of the road noise outside the bedroom overnight. The bedroom windows do not block it out, even when closed, nor did our very good ear plugs. It was intermittent rather than continuous which is harder to cope with (builds up to loud as cars approach then goes quiet until the next a few mins later). One of us is a light sleeper and became sleep deprived. I'm sure Louise and Rich would have put it right if they could but obviously that wasn't possible. If you can sleep through noise you'll be okay. The flat is compact which also gave us some challenges but we would have been okay with those if it were not for the road noise.
