The room my partner and I had was nice but there was hair all over the bathroom cabinet when we arrived and no soap or shampoo and conditioner - completely empty. The door wasn’t locked between adjoining rooms so my partner and I opened a door to which we thought was a cupboard, and it was two strangers sitting in the room. They obviously asked the staff to come and fix the issue and the staff continued to barge through the door no knocking or anything. Just walked through the door to try lock it. I would’ve felt really unsafe if I was alone. Later on we ask for soap at the counter and 15 mins later the manager comes down and says it’s filled, so it’s obvious he proceeded to walk through our room unannounced and us not knowing. We were waiting for him to give us the soap. Also when we arrived they were adamant that we hadn’t paid and had to find proof we had - barely any apology. Honestly it was terrible and I am seeking a full refund. Was unsafe to have that door unlocked and there’s no ifs ands or buts about it. Look forward to hearing from you and receiving details of the refund. Thank you

The apartment is excellent and is close to a lovely beach. It is above the bar and is run by a very pleasant lady. It is close to SH1 and the railway which is a benefit but the downside is that the road and railway are noisy and our sleep was disturbed. We did enjoy our stay it was very comfortable and would stay again.
