Lovely property. So comfy and easy being on one floor! With good parking.
Mrs Junkison Oct 2024
The most perfect apartment in Barnaloft and we've stayed in a lot! All on one level once inside the apartment and only 2 small steps to the entrance. The onsite garage is such a bonus and the town is within a 2 minute walk and the beach even nearer. Can not recommend this apartment highly enough.
Mrs Callaghan Aug 2024
Another wonderful stay at 5 Barnaloft. Having a garage is a god send ! the location is 10/10. Sitting on the balcony you feel like you're on the beach, when your not. Clean comfortable homely, what more do you need :)

Thank you for your feedback; it's wonderful to hear you felt this property was in a perfect location for you; with being so close to the town and close enough to touch the sand, we have to agree! We aim to offer a wide range of properties that we hope will meet the different budgets, differing requirements, and individual tastes and while this isn't the cheapest property we market, it also isn't the most expensive either and we do try to be as open about the price prior to booking. We are glad to know that you feel it would be hard to do better than this; we hope we can welcome you back again soon. Phoebe, Customer Services
