This is the second time we've stayed at the Waterwheel apartment and I'm sure we'll be back. As previous reviews have said it's spacious, well-equipped and spotlessly clean - it's got everything you need and all great quality. The information folders have everything you need to know about the apartment/appliances, as well as plenty of recommendations for the local area. Sue responds very quickly to messages and is incredibly helpful. Highly recommended!

Amazing accommodation. Good location for Charlestown harbour. Restaurants and bars within walking distance. Easily accessible off street parking. Lovely, warm modern apartment with afternoon sun on the comfortable terrace area. Highly recommended.

Our stay at the waterwheel apartment couldn’t have been better! Perfect location for walking down into Charlestown whilst maintaining the peace and quiet of a private estate. The apartment itself was much more spacious than the pictures suggest and very well equipped. Sue was excellent with communication and answered all of our questions swiftly. Highly recommend!
