As our break away was for my partners birthday, the pressure was on to get the right place! This apartment was what I hoped for and more. Sam is an amazing host, she knew it was my partners birthday and left balloons and champagne for us, I have had apartments and cottage breaks many times but I have never had a host take such time and thought. Sam sent me an information pack about the property, where to eat, drink and even exercise (although that was never going to happen). Firstly the pictures don’t do this place justice, it’s even nicer and I thought it looked fantastic in the pictures, wait until you get there. The views from this apartment are absolutely beautiful, when the sun sets it is stunning. Secondly, this apartment has the best of everything, the appliances are top of the range, the bed is more expensive then I could ever dream of buying, even the kettle is a SMEG and the blinds are electronic - you just push a button, luxury. The grounds to this apartment are also beautiful, we walked through the wood and park and found the tennis courts (Sam leaves rackets and balls in the apartment for you). To walk into the centre took us about 15 minutes and is super easy, all down hill on the same road. Getting back up is more of a challenge but there is bus stop right outside the apartment, number 31 which is a park and ride bus every 10-15 mins will get you in and out of the city centre for £2.50 one way or we paid £4.80 for a day pass. The apartment comes with its own safe parking space so no heavy parking fees to consider or concerns of leaving it on the street over night, we parked up and left the car there for the entire trip. No noise in this apartment, the road isn’t that busy and the apartment is set back a bit, the windows are also very good quality and the neighbours didn’t make a sound (this apartment is top floor / 2nd floor). If you want a luxury apartment within a short walk of the centre, on a beautiful plot that is quiet, with a fantastic host, this is the one to choose.
