This property is a true gem. What an amazing experience - a waterfront unit in a city is not something one gets to experience often! We had an amazing time and greatly enjoyed our stay.
Folly Bridge House is a charming, story-book building tucked away from the main road, so there is sense of privacy unusual in such a central location. Yet Folly Bridge House is within easy walking distance of the city center and the University’s main attractions. The caretaking staff are courteous.and helpful, and all our interactions were positive ones.
This particular unit is fantastic. Although a basement unit, it is bright and airy. The conservatory is a fantastic place to sit rain or shine. I spent several hours reading while watching the Themes go by and listening to the rain patter on the glass. As the Themes is right outside the door, Ducks, geese, and even the occasional swan would come by looking for food. We picked up some folding chairs and would sit out on the dock, reading and enjoying being on the water.
There are only two downsides I think worth mentioning. First, the outdoor steps leading down to the unit can need careful navigation in the dark, but their is an interior entrance as well. Second, as mentioned on the Folly Bridge House website, the bathroom is quite small. However, we found the small size much less of an issue than expected. The water pressure is great and the water is not hard (mineral heavy).
We loved our stay and look forward to returning!
