What guests say
What can I say about our stay at High Gables apartment 2? We got off to a bad start when an email arrived the day before our departure ‘reminding’ us that bath towels were not supplied? Really? That was a first. After a protest the owner agreed to make an exception and supplied one per bathroom! The heated towel rails did not function so once wet – they stayed wet. On arrival we found a filthy hallway and difficult locks. The apartment was very cold and for the first 4 days we were unable to get the heating to work. The owner struggled too. The twin bedroom was arctic and the beds felt damp. There was mould on the walls. The duvets were too small, barely covering the top of the mattress. After a miserable night we moved to the double room, slightly warmer, but with a very old mattress with broken springs. Reading in bed was not an option as there were no bedside tables or lamps, nowhere to place a clock or a drink! The kitchen was in need of a good clean, the pots so grimy that we could not use them. We were supplied 1 ‘jay cloth’ and no scourer or even a tea towel. There was no ‘welcome’ pack not even a tea-bag or a pint of milk so after a 6 hour stressful journey we had to go shopping. There were no complimentary toiletries and no hairdryer. Having been in the holiday accommodation business myself for many years – I judge by my own standards and this accommodation was sadly lacking. The owner kept referring to her good reviews, almost telling us to deny the evidence of our own eyes. I do think that the reviews may have been from before she took over the property as they certainly do not apply to it now. I cannot recommend it.

Lovely clean and cosy but spacious apartment. Well equipped with all you need, a real home from home. Thoroughly recommend.
