United KingdomExcellent location and apartment beyond my expectations. Welcome pack and champagne were amazing.
United KingdomExcellent from start to finish. Perfect location, loved the apartment, communication was second to non wouldn’t stay anywhere else
United KingdomLocation was Amazing! The little touches was just perfect! A beautiful gift basket, top quality! So clean, cozy and cute! Lovely view of the river.
United KingdomThe property was amazing and very clean. Exceptional standard throughout...
United KingdomFabulous apartment with everything you could wish for. We were concerned about parking, but there was no need to be. Car was literally outside the apartment. Apartment was spotless and the hamper which is given as a gift, was a lovely touch. The food and drink contained, were amazing. I’d recommend the biscuits! It is a little difficult to find, as there are barriers manned by people stopping cars going into the road (they open them to let you in). We struggled to find the apartment, however after a phone call, we were met by a staff member and we followed them in the car around the one way system. A service you’d never get from a hotel. Location is fabulous. Right in the centre and within walking distance to everything. I’d recommend booking restaurants before you go, as with COVID it can be difficult to get a table anywhere, especially on a Saturday night. We are already looking at booking our next stay.
United KingdomAbsolutely beautiful property. Fantastic location, only 2 minutes walk to the centre. Great for eating in or going out. Very clean. Welcome hamper was beyond what I expected, a lovey touch
United KingdomSpotlessly clean throughout. Lovely hamper upon arrival. Kitchen more than well equipped for 2. Fabulous location
United KingdomApartment 6 was perfect in every way. Booked it again for next year already.
United KingdomThe property had everything you can think of down to a first aid kit,was in a great area and very clean
