Lovely apartment in a great location.
Pros:

Great apartment, very clean and well kitted out. Perfect location with lots of places to eat and drink locally and easy access to the rest of the island.

Cons:

The TV was very glitchy and on a couple of days, almost unwatchable.

Overall excellent experience. Hosts had thought of every little detail in apartment.
Pros:

Location was excellent right in the middle of town. Stanley’s restaurant next door serving great food and coffee.

Cons:

Spring mattress would have preferred memory foam. No elevator and would have liked a choice of floor. We were on top floor and my husband has a bad hip. Not ideal for seniors carrying luggage up 3 floors.

Was like home from home, loved everything bit of it!
Pros:

I loved it, the decor was to my taste, everything was there that we needed. The location was perfect.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn’t like, only one thing I can think of that would have been useful is a little dustpan and brush. We had a Chinese meal and dropped the prawn crackers on the floor and accidentally treaded on one which left crumbs. I like to keep it clean and I could only use my hands to clean it up. Which meant there were still pieces I couldn’t get to, where a little brush would have been handy. Other than that everything was perfect.
I shall be booking regular stays!

Really good, highly recommended
Pros:

Beautiful apartment with dual aspect, castle one way and sea the other. Lovely shared terrace for breakfast overlooking the water, wasn’t ever busy. Everything you could want or need for a stay - long or short. Easy walk to the middle of town. Just really, really nicely done.

Cons:

This is nitpicking but the walk-in shower must have been designed by someone smaller than 6ft as the support rail from glass pane to the wall is low and right where you need to stand to get under the fixed shower head. I’m 6ft 3 and kept on knocking my head on it. There was plenty of space to extend the glass pane further away from the shower head or to put in a taller one, no idea why this wasn’t done.

Great stay
Pros:

Easy check in and then we used the key code for access. Great view over the castle and everything you needed in the apartment. Quiet on the top floor and if the weather had been better the roof terrace would have been great.

Cons:

Quite expensive, and the bedroom was very small - understandable as it is a converted building so space is what it is, but something to be aware of. Living area was very generous and comfortable.

Absolutely fabulous. I would definitely return.
Pros:

Fabulous location for visiting the island. Plenty of pubs, cafés and nice restaurants in the town. The coop supermarket is just up the road. Beautiful sea views from one side of the Appartment and a view of the castle from the other side. It is spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. The bed is super comfy and the towels are luxurious. The Appartment is serviced daily - very much as a hotel room but you have the advantage of being self catering as regards meals and privacy.

Cons:

There wasn’t anything I disliked

We enjoyed our Castletown Staycation 😃
Pros:

Location was perfect. The apartment and building were spotlessly clean. Loved the outdoor space.

Cons:

Bed was very soft. No cork screw. Had to borrow one from the gentleman on site and that broke, sorry. :(
