Riverside Townhouse with room for all the family, great location & WIFI

Riverside Townhouse with room for all the family, great location & WIFI

8/10 Good
"House was very clean and good instructions for use of different appliances. There was the ability to use the Garage, which would have been good if our van was able to fit, but it wasn't a big deal. Beds were very comfortable and ample supplies there for cooking etc.A suggestion would be to have a few board games around for a family to play in evenings. Overall it was a great place to stay."
