A great place to stay for a long weekend. A very nice 2 bedroom apartment in quiet Measham. Great communications with Stephen (owner) to ensure everything was ok all weekend.
The property was easily located with free parking steps away.
The place was cosy & perfect for an overnight stay, catching up with friends. We had everything we needed, we were warm & very comfortable.
The host was quick to answer my queries & although the listing was slightly incorrect, Stephen sorted it out immediately. Thank you.
