You do hear/ feel the hum of car ferry next door from early in the morning. Fine for a couple of nights but wouldn't want it for a week

The most incredible apartment!! Huge, super- clean and with wall to wall sea views. Breath taking ! The main bedroom is vast with incredibly comfy bed. Everything has been thought of to provide a great stay - v well equipped kitchen including double fridge and freezer with ice, coffee machine, utensils. A selection of eating areas - the outside deck with views over the bay being hard to beat !

Amazing picturesque location! Very spacious modern apartment with great amenities and lots of little extras! We loved that the apartment is located beside ferry terminal so very interesting and not at all intrusive.Most helpful manager who sorted out a small maintenance issue quickly.

Amazing location. Even though we were right next to the ferry it was great for people watching and not intrusive at all. Views out over the harbour wonderful. Apartment was well equipped and we wanted for nothing.

A few things could do with fixing, e.g, door handle to balcony, few missing blinds etc but nothing major!

Absolutely beautiful place, incredibly clean, has everything you need & more for a comfortable stay. Views are incredible. The car ferry you barely notice is there in terms of noise which was surprising. Communication was great with easy to follow instructions! Will definitely stay again.

There was nothing that we didn't like about it.

It was such a lovely place to stay when they say location location this was it. The unit was so well presented, spacious and so well equipped. It was so spacious and every conceivable appliance was provided for your convenience. The views were simply stunning.

GrI at place to stay. Very well appointed, very cool decor, clean as can be. And a fun place to stay. Although nothing was mentioned about the ferry right next door, it turns out to be fine - interesting and not disturbing or too noisy.

The second bedroom was on the side where the ferry pulls in which can get a bit noisy in that bedroom from 5am but it stops running at 10pm. The main bedroom was very quiet with lovely water views and extremely ely comfortable

The Location of the water was magical and the little village around the marina and the nearby shop provided anything needed. The property was well maintained and the property managers were incredibly attentive and helpful.

The only thing we didn't like was that we had to leave at the end of the weekend. We’re already planning our return visit.

We had an exceptional stay at this beautiful location. The place was spotless, the views were breathtaking, and the level of comfort was second to none. The couches, in particular, were wonderfully cosy, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The hosts went above and beyond with thoughtful touches, like spare batteries for the TV remote and an umbrella ready for the occasional rain that came through. The convenience of having a general store and a fish and chip shop practically next door meant we could travel light and still have everything we needed. While some reviews mentioned the noise of the nearby ferry, we enjoyed watching it come and go and it didn’t disturb us at all.

Ferry noise early in morning.

Comfortable, spacious and very clean. Great beds and linen/towels.

Wonderful location, on the water, next to the ferry. Large airy living area with great flow to the sunny outdoor spaces. Enjoyed watching the ferry come and go, as well as the sailing boats leaving and entering the marina.

We loved everything.

I ended up going through the wrong door even though the instructions given were very clear and the names of the apartments are above the door, just me having a moment. We loved everything about the apartment from being on the water, the view, the size of the apartment is so spacious, yes the second room is small and on the ferry side so you do hear cars going on and off the ferry early morning and late night but that didnt change our thoughts about the apartment. The full kitchen was also amazing. Fish and chip shop, general store next door. We sat outside on the balcony taking in the view, a lot of ferry watching. The owners are welcoming and the nicest people. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful apartment.
