Great location and a lovely stay

The house was well presented and ideal for a stay in Henley, with lots of thoughtful touches and being just a short walk to the town centre and the river. There are also plenty of places to visit locally. We were mostly able to find parking within a few minutes walk of the property so wasn’t an issue. Manager was very helpful and responsive. The stairs to the bedroom are not many but are narrow and very steep, almost a ladder, which may be difficult for those with mobility problems. I was there with my 2 year old and had to keep her away from them, and my mum in her 60s did struggle a bit going up and down. A great trip in beautiful henley, we will definitely stay again if we’re in the area.
