  • • The apartments are a bit small especially for a family of 4 but it was doable in the 2-bedroom apartment we had.

Property needs serious maintenance

The location and that it had lake views

  • • The maintenance of this property is subpar bordering on dangerous. The second bathroom shower didn’t have its bottom seal so flooded the bathroom making it unusable. The light on the balcony was hanging down and would have been easy to hit with opening the door to the balcony - if we hadn’t been careful on opening we could have easily smashed the light bulb. I don’t understand why properties offer a Nespresso machine and no milk frother - this is not unique to this property and maybe fussy but it’s odd to me! We mentioned maintenance issues to staff who were pleasant, and said they’d get the Manager to contact us a week later and we’ve not heard anything.

A beautiful location just on the edge of a walk to town

  • • The staff were less than engaging, and having inappropriate conversations at the front desk or loud enough in the next office to hear from the admin. There was nothing ‘luxury’ about the facilities. Shower pressure and temperature are inconsistent, bathroom moldy and beds very hard. There was no milk for coffee without asking and no bottled water offered.

If it wasn’t for the staff, the location and view, this property would be a complete disaster.

Location was fantastic as were the staff.

  • • Apartment was extremely tired. Bathrooms: Mould in showers, built-up dust on exhausts & fans. Broken heater in the bathroom. Kitchen: Oven & trays were grotty. Overall just grubby. Balcony: Broken slate pieces, broken light fittings just stacked in one place. Massive stains on the balcony floor. Living Area: Gas fire did not work properly. Pencils & bits around the skirting from previous guests.
