We had a fantastic stay. Mandy and Andy were excellent hosts, they gave us a friendly, warm welcome and communication was great. The apartment was really lovely, spotlessly clean with everything we needed and a great view of the river. We stayed for 7 nights and there was so much to do and see. Highly recommend, we hope to return again.
