House of Fisher - Central Gate

We spent about a week here (unexpectedly) when our home was temporarily undergoing some unforeseen maintenance. We appreciated that it was so fully furnished with things like kitchen necessities, drying racks for clothes, a plenty of drawers for storage. It's also centrally located to anything you'd need on the high street. We didn't have a car but parking seemed plentiful and was right next to the building. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. We've stayed in several serviced apartments in recent years and this was by far the most spacious - it would probably work very well for larger groups who want to stay together. It's pet friendly but there's not a great space to walk dogs (little grass, lots of cars). We found it to be noisy as we were on the ground floor and could hear all the people right outside as though they were with us. Did not seem to be fully accessible for people in need of a lift, as even on the ground floor there were some steps and we could not make the lift function; this wasn't a major issue for us as we were simply trying to haul our bags on arrival, but if you had a wheelchair, stroller, etc it could be something to consider. Our biggest complaint was the water, which smelled really strong (in an industrial sort of way) and even lingered on our hair and skin. Because of this, we did not feel comfortable using the laundry. Overall, this place served its purpose but isn't somewhere I'm eager to return to.

The apartment was extremely clean and well maintained. I needed to ask a few questions and book another day so emailed the company. The staff must be working all the time - they replied within minutes. My damages deposit was returned within hours of checking out. The apartments are in a great location - just 5 minutes walk (slow walk!) to the town centre. Parking plentiful either at the apartments or in the two car parks opposite. Everything went really smoothly. Loved it. Would definitely book through House of Fisher again.
