Very pleasant place, centrally situated close to restaurants and pubs and yet tranquil and undisturbed. Clean, spacious with every facilities needed and still very "British", as we like it. Perfect for a family with two kids or for two couples. Can indeed recommend this apartment for a weeklong stay. We got around by bus & train but a car shouldn't be a problem, lots of parkings in the surroundings.
