Guestbook
Mr Mrs Taplin, South Wales. Nov 2006 - Apartment has had much thought put to it with the furnishings and had all you would need for a short break. Easy location to find and easy access to the beaches. Just a shame about the weather on our visit.
Mr Mrs Pearce, Bolton Jan 2007 - nice apartment, all the things we needed, the welcome pack was nice when we arrived late in the evening. Would recommend this apartment for those who want a quiet holiday but can easily get to the excitment of the coast if required.
Mrs Edmonds, South Wales, Feb 2007. Very nice apartment in a quiet village, just right for that rest we all need.
Mr Mrs Gates, Milton Keynes, May 2007 what a nice place, we have fallen in love with the village and will be back again next year.
