Helena was very easy to contact and allowed us to check in early which we greatly appreciated as it was a very hot day. We were welcomed with a nice bottle of wine and nibbles or biscuits to enjoy with a cup of real tea or coffee. This was a lovely surprise. The apartment had everything we needed and was very comfortable with quality finishes. It has a lovely garden setting with places to sit outside. There was a lovely cafe/wine bar up the road. Larkwood is close to the village/river and can be accessed easily by road or along the walking/cycling track right across the road.
