Review by Jackie Marston
Hartlepool isn’t somewhere that was particularly on our Bucket List, but when we were asked to review this apartment, right on the marina, we thought, why not, let’s give it a try
What you realise when you get to the marina in Hartlepool is that there is much more to it than meets the eye. There is an array of bars, restaurants, takeaways and shops for you to walk around, whilst admiring the lovely boats moored down there.
The two-bedroom apartment is owned by Diane, and it is impressive to say the least.
It’s a very luxurious apartment and newly refurbished, which is also dog friendly, which is always a bonus for us, as we hate leaving our beloved Mia at home.
It’s based at Hartlepool Marina, and it comes with a fully equipped kitchen but is also walking distance to the many bars and restaurants it has to offer.
It’s in a prime location close to many local amenities including a cinema, retail park, supermarkets, and museums. The beautiful beach and promenade are just a stones’ throw away too, perfect for a brisk dog walk.
The first thing you notice is that the property is decorated and furnished to a very high standard with many personal trinkets to make it feel homely. There’s a large open plan living room leading to a fully fitted integrated kitchen which includes an ecoprogrammed washer/dryer, dishwasher, fridge freezer, oven, and hob.
A 50-inch smart TV in the living room plus two additional smart TV’s in each bedroom makes this really great if you’re wanting to go along with friends or family and use both rooms.
We noticed that there was a lovely comfortable Tempur mattress in the main bedroom, so a benefit for me and Richard as we can both suffer with bad backs!
There is free Wi-Fi included and there was a hairdryer, dog bowls, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, plush towels, a Tassimo coffee machine, halogen oven, tea/coffee and sugar, and a lovely outside seating area and allocated parking.
If you’re wanting a really chilled weekend, that is close enough to make a party of it, if you fancy, then this apartment is as perfect as they get! The cost is from just £120 per night and can be booked direct, so not costing extra by booking via Airbnb.
