The Mariner's Rest Aparthotel - Premium self check in studios and hotel rooms

Fantastic room and decor. Have thought of everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Bedding / linen high quality. Although you are next to a busy road, we didn't have a problem with any noise. Great location, and managed to find off road parking no problem Owners very helpful and friendly through messaging. Thank you 😊

Lovely large bed, just a little bit too firm a mattress for us. Due to being so close to the pavement and road, i would suggest that the lower ground levels have vertical or venetian blinds fitted rather than a roller blind. This would give greater control. We had to keep the main blind closed at all times so passers by couldn't look directly into the room.

I stayed here for one night and was pleasantly surprised overall. Although it took me a minute to find, the entrance was straightforward once I knew where it was, and the door access code worked first time. The room is a really good size and has been decorated tastefully. It’s simple rather than luxurious, but everything works well together. There’s a super king sized bed, slatted feature wall, bedside tables with handy sockets, a decent TV, chest of drawers, table and chairs by the window, hooks, mirror and good lighting with a dimmer switch. It all feels well thought out. The kitchenette is excellent. There’s a proper cooker with ceramic hob, microwave, toaster, fridge, pots and pans, plates, bowls, glasses, cutlery, washing up liquid, tea, coffee, biscuits and even olive oil. It’s one of the better equipped apartment kitchens I’ve come across. The bathroom is equally impressive. The shower is a great size with both a rainfall shower and a handheld attachment. There was plenty of shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand wash provided. The towels deserve a mention too. They’re proper bath towels rather than the tiny ones you often get, and they were fresh, clean and smelled lovely. An early check in of 3pm and late checkout of 11am was appreciated. Overall, the apartment is clean, spacious, thoughtfully equipped and I’d happily stay here again.

From the outside, the building looks a little scruffy, although it may still be undergoing improvements. Thankfully, the apartment itself is much nicer than the exterior suggests. My biggest criticism is the bed. Although it’s made up as a super king, it’s actually two single beds pushed together. The mattresses were far too firm for me and the topper didn’t make any noticeable difference. I appreciate comfort is very personal, but I really struggled to get comfortable. The pillows were also fairly basic, with one being too flat and two together feeling too high. The room was quite warm. A fan is provided, which definitely helped, but because the room overlooks the main road I didn’t feel comfortable leaving the window open. Some frosted or translucent window film would improve privacy while still allowing fresh air into the room. It was also a little more expensive than I’d normally pay for an overnight stay in the area. Even so, I could see where the extra cost goes because the apartment is clean, spacious and very well equipped.

We had a wonderful weekend stay – everything was finished to such a high standard, beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, and the attention to detail throughout really made it feel special. We’re already planning our next visit and have no doubt this aparthotel is going to be incredibly popular.

Fantastic place. Definitely recommend. Newly renovated, the place is immaculate and fitted with new and modern fixtures. The location is brilliant and the staff are friendly and helpful. 5 star accommodation.
