    “Watermouth Castle has a very fine amusement park and commands lovely views of the small cove it sits above.”

    The apartment is beautifully decorated and the free laundry room and swimming pool is a bonus. However, there are so many steps that it is not very child friendly and I had to keep my dog on a lead everywhere, making life difficult for both of us. There is no reception point and the only staff on site are there to run the amusement park. The area is a dead spot for phone reception, so it was very difficult to find anyone who could sort out problems.
