Spacious home in excellent location
Large, tidy home with everything you need for a great group or family holiday. The bathrooms and kitchen were spotless, and the rest of the home is tidy albiet well used over the years. Having several bathrooms and sleeping over different levels was excellent. We would definitely stay again! Would love to see it in the summer!

Great location and views to die for
It really suited the 2 couples as we had our own space but could come together socially in the living areas. Our only compliant was the outdoor patios could do with a clean as could the outdoor furniture downstairs. Otherwise a great place to stay

Getaway weekend
The property has great views and location. The initial impression is it needs a good overall clean and refresh. There was very limited toilet paper and only 3 segments of paper towel left on roll. The vacuum cleaner is left in the dining area and is fullbl of dirt and dust. Only 1 x bath towel for 3 nights. The information folder is old, riped and needs replacing.

Disappointed tenant
The cleanliness of the property was sub-standard. Venetian blind not working, window catches missing, some lights not working, very dusty, kitchen tiles not cleaned properly . While the location was good the presentation of the property was very disappointing. Our cleaning fee was refunded but the refund should have been higher.

Great living area and view.
This apartment is in a lovely complex and sitting on the sofa with a coffee, watching the ducks on the river is not a bad way to start the day. Unfortunately we didn’t have the weather for it but there are two outdoor areas to further take advantage of the view. Kitchen is well-equipped, rooms are a good size and beds are comfortable. The sofa could probably do with an update and the bathroom for the downstairs bedroom is very small but serviceable. The apartment spans three levels so would not be suitable for anyone with any mobility issues as the stairs are quite steep. The garage was a benefit and we found the location a good base for our daily travels.
