The relaxing environment and thoughtful touches, such as tea and coffee, contribute to a delightful stay, with many looking forward to returning.
Guests consistently mention the outstanding cleanliness of the apartment, describing it as 'spotlessly clean' and 'extremely comfortable,' which indicates a very high standard of hygiene and upkeep.
The location is celebrated for its relaxing marina setting and convenience for canal walks and exploring nearby attractions. One mention of road noise, not audible inside, slightly tempers the score.

Just to say what a peaceful and relaxing stay at the cottage. From the moment we booked the cottage we were kept informed of everything that we needed for a hassle free break. The cottage was well appointed, everything was there that was needed. The location was perfect and the Longlands pub/ restaurant was an excellent place to have our Christmas meal and Boxing Day meal. We were so impressed with the cottage that we have booked a week in July.

Another fantastic stay at Waterside retreat. Brilliant communication from the owner prior to the stay. On arrival, again found the apartment wonderfully prepared for me (thank you excellent cleaning team) and Tea bags/coffee left. The apartment is so comfy (great bed and sofa) and a well equipped kitchen. Will always be my first choice in the north west and can’t wait for my next stay. Highly recommended!
