Excellent apartment. Beautifully decorated and fantastic location. Lovely river views and great for observing passing wildlife. Also the passing steam trains.Only downside is the parking. It is quite difficult to get in and out of the allocated space. Also we struggled up two flights of stairs with all of our luggage - it would have been good to know that there was a lift. Access to the property is quite complicated.
