Idyllic English Pad In Quiet Hertfordshire Town

I enjoyed a six day stay in Apsley and was very comfortable in a well located and appointed 1 bedroom unit. It is within walking distance to a major food store and local shops as well as Apsley train station which gets you into Euston easily. I would certainly look to stay here again.

We stayed here for a total of 8 nights split into two periods of 4 days each to visit family in the area. We would very likely use it again in the future. The apartment is compact but bright and airy. Having a private driveway right outside was a real bonus. The kitchen is well thought out and the units and appliances new and in good working order. The bathroom is spacious, the shower was large with a choice of shower heads. The water pressure was great and there was lots of hot water. The bedroom was adequate and had a generous sized closet. A second nightstand and a bedside light would have been appreciated. The washer worked well and we made use of the drying rack provided to dry laundry on the back patio. Sainsbury’s was a a 5 min walk away which was very handy and there are plenty of Pubs, Restaurants and retail stores close by. We enjoyed walking along the Grand Union Canal towpaths and looking at the narrow boats in Apsley Marina. We had a couple of questions Aaron was quick to answer his phone and answer them. Thank you Aaron for sharing your place with us.

Well I thought I’d booked an apartment on the canal, because it’s described as idyllic and quiet . So it was a surprise when we found it was a back street in a semi industrial area with a train line with rushing trains, often. It was okay as we were out with family most of the time so didn’t notice it so much. Definitely the location was a huge surprise. But apart from that it was very comfortable. The bed needs to be upgraded, not at all comfortable. My husband hit his leg on the wooden corner several times. No tea towel was left. But we had a dishwasher so that was okay. It was a huge thing for us to have a washing machine as we had been travelling awhile so was good to be able to wash. The shower is great. The kitchen cupboards need a good clean on the outside if I’m honest. Black lacquer shows all the marks. The towels are poor quality as is the bedding. Comfy enough though. A converted garage I think, but warm and dry. Just a shock with the idyllic term mentioned. Definitely not. ,
