Pros: Large and well-equipped apartment, had everything we needed! Really enjoyed the outdoor pool space too. Friendly staff, felt very safe, would definitely recommend this place.

Cons: Wasn't an issue for us, but probably would only stay here if you had a car.

Pros: The unit is very close to the cliff pathway. If you are a walker it is perfectly situated to go for long walks along the sea. Very cosy little place for two.

Most pleasant and beautiful garden

Pros: Les the owner is just wonderful and everything was super!

Cons: Personally, we would’ve liked a larger fridge and with better freezer availability … but we were there over Christmas… so lots of eating to be done 😉😄!

A pleasant, no frills apartment for a stay but double check your booking confirmation

Pros: The property is well located for New Harbour and the Whale Coast Mall, with a couple of supermarkets, is only a short drive away. Our room was attractively decorated, it had a small, private gated garden with patio table and chairs. The kitchen area had a fridge, microwave and gas hob. We didn’t cook anything but sat outside to eat a couple of times. All in all, it suited us well.

Cons: There was some sort of mix up over the bookings and we arrived to be told the apartment we had booked back in August wasn’t available - even though I had received an email from the owner that very morning, whilst still in mid-air. They blamed Booking.com … We kept calm and, to be fair, the owner moved us into an apartment that apparently family or friends had been staying in, very quickly, but it wasn’t the best start to our holiday having just got off a 12 hour flight!
