Philip and Mary Nelson
This beautifully furnished holiday apartment provides a romantic hideaway for couples. Just a 4-minute walk to the magnificent Minster and the heart of the vibrant city, with fine shops and restaurants, street entertainers and riverside bars. With its historic buildings, ancient walls, gardens, river cruises and a delightful tangle of narrow streets. The central location means that you don’t need the car as all the attractions are within walking distance. With a quiet courtyard setting, electronic security gates, its own entrance, and plenty of comforts, we even supply bathrobes and toiletries.
