We loved the apartment - such a great view and handy location right in the middle of West Bay. It was very clean and comfortable, and everything is there you could need. A nice touch was the fresh roses, milk in the fridge etc. (and a lovely cake, thanks!). Also thanks to Rachel who came round at very short notice to change the second bedroom to a Read moretwin. Would definitely stay again. Hide
