RIVER RETREAT- near Holloway U, Thorpe Park and Heathrow airport

Good amenities

The fact it was situated at the rear of the owners home, which was not stated on the location on booking.com website. We had a big issue with infestation of ants. We felt our privacy was compromised

Location on very close to Thorpe Park - 10 mins walk - the house is over looking the Thames and very picturesque.

The 10am checkout time was quite early, especially as we were travelling with three children and needed time to get them fed and organised. We were also asked to strip the beds and clean the basins before leaving, which wasn’t an issue in itself, but it did feel rushed given the early checkout time. I spoke to the owner about this, but was told we could pay for an additional hour, which I declined as we were only using the property as a stopover. There was also an extra £14 charge (£7 per day) to park on the driveway. Considering the overall cost of the stay, this felt like an unnecessary additional charge. That said, the property itself was brilliant, the host was lovely, and we really enjoyed our stay overall—I would still recommend it to others.

Was a beautiful location and friendly owners

Proximity to the river, the swans and the knowledge share from owner. Very quite and peaceful place

Felt was overpriced overall. Could have done with some clean up of the beautiful windows overlooking the river. Few too many big spiders(which was promptly addressed but unfortunately they came back ). Thought the 7£/day parking charge ( albeit I missed to notice the charge when booking) in a private home was a little too much also given the price ( apparently not allowed to park outside gate)
