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!
