The location was fabulous, very close to shops and eating places. The view from the balcony looking out over the channel was worth the walk up the stairs to the apartment. The apartment had everything that a family needs to do self catering.

Fantastic apartment for our holiday
The views were amazing. Apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Location was so good to be able to be right next to the harbour and shops and bars. Lovely area. Having the car park space was extremely helpful. Cinema within walking distance and we could use our meerkat code. Lidl within 5 mins drive. Loved staying here and would definitely go back again.
Lots of stairs to get to apartment which was hard work especially if carrying beach stuff or shopping bags but was not a problem and worth the view at the top. Had to clean balcony every day due to.seagull and pigeon poop plus not allowed to eat out on the balcony due to seagulls but I understand as they are a nightmare trying to pinch food. Bedrooms are quite tight, had the twin beds in the one room but they covered the wardrobe so couldn't get to the drawers of wardrobe and had to climb on the bed to get into wardrobe so we ended up pushing the beds together in the end which wasn't a problem for us.

Fabulous holiday
Being on the top floor of an old building but recently renovated, apartment 5 compass was an amazing place for a holiday. The location was right on the cliff front so the view out of patio window and the balcony was uninterrupted seascape. We even watched the eclipse on the balcony. The host were lovely, they checked in with us to see if we were happy and questions were answered with in the day and the one problem was dealt with that day and accompanied by 2 bottles of wine! It was a fantastic 2 weeks in a super apartment which was really well equipped both for humans and dogs alike!
The hosts says this in the booking blurb too, but there is no lift, so there 56(ish) stairs to climb up to the apartment, but it is worth it.
