Providing blankets for the balcony was lovely enabling us to sit out in the evening enjoying the river view but stay cosy. The only very minor point, is the description said a Nespresso coffee maker, which it is, however it doesn't seem to be a domestic one that you can buy pods for. We have a Nespresso at home and bought our favourite pods which didn't fit. However as there was also a cafetiere we used that towards the end of the week when we ran out.

Suggest a few more crockery and cutlery items so as not to need to run the deshwasher so often. Good to see a property with new, firm, upholstered furniture. We had trouble getting into the dustbin and in fact didn't manage it - did we miss some instructions? Dropped one point on "facilities & maintenance" because of this.

! We will be looking to book again for 2025 as soon as possible because we love it! This was our first time staying in summer- the only feedback we could think of was a fan in the bedroom would be a great addition for the summer months.
