This apartment surpassed our expectations. Set in a quiet residential area it was still just a very short walk into Charlestown.

Comfortable and warm during our late March stay with a wonderful view towards the sea. Everything that was required for a nice stay was on hand and the pint of milk, scones, jam and clotted cream were a welcome surprise.
