South Flat Reviews

Lesley
Lovely apartment, great location. Had a great time. Constructive criticism:There was an issue with the TV reception and has been for a while going by the guest book! There was no tea, coffee, sugar, paper kitchen towels. The hair drying facilities (plug, mirror, seat) were like most places, not available. don't know why!!
Robin
Well located within a quiet area of Wells. Was concerned about lack of parking but we always found somewhere on the road to park. We would happily stay there again.
Angela
Great location, attention to detail required, cobwebs around window catches and some skirting boards need a wipe. Had a great time, close to all amenities and the beach.
John
A very spacious apartment with some interesting decor, the location on The Buttlands is very good and we liked the small seating area at the front. The bathroom is very small and wouldnâ??t recommend for 4 adults to share fortunately we were only a couple. Disappointed that there was no welcome pack at all other than 1 toilet roll, 1 dishwasher tablet and a small tube of washing up liquid, weâ??ve always had a weekâ??s supply in other lets. On arrival the television wasnâ??t working but Holiday Cottages replaced it the next day.
John
Needs a deep clean to remove dust, cobwebs and mould.
Elisabeth
Very roomy, comfortable, well equipped flat in a most convenient location for coastal walks. The place felt a bit like an art gallery with all the paintings and ornaments. Very nice. We had a lovely time.
Penelope
A really lovely quirky characterful cosy apartment, we were surprised at how spacious it was, even though we were their easter weekend, and everywhere was buzzing, it was still lovely and peaceful, Really enjoyed our 5 nights and will return.
Paul
Very good. Thank you.
Marion
Lovely ground floor flat in a great location
Alan & June
Attractive ground-floor flat, in The Buttlands. Bedclothes arrived for us at 4pm ! when we were just arriving ; This was disappointing.
Judy
Spacious apartmet in lovely leafy area. Parking on road outside (never an issue) would benefit from thorough deep clean.
Joseph
Faultless, everything you could need , we had a lovely time .
Pauline
This is a very spacious, comfortable two bedroomed ground floor flat. It is conveniently situated in Wells in easy walking distance to the buses, to the restaurants, shops etc and to the sea. There is plenty of clothes storage and the kitchen is well equipped. Though it doesnâ??t have a designated parking space, parking wasnâ??t a problem for us in May.
Mark
The location is supurb. Ideal for a couple and x2 little ones.
James
