Comfortable accommodation in a great location.

We had a four night stay at Ouse Retreat. The apartment is compact but comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare some meals "at home", and having a washing machine was brilliant. Bed was comfortable, although a double rather than a queen, and the bathroom perfectly functional (the storage water heater is good for two showers but not a heap more). Location is great - we walked into the centre along the river every day which takes about 15 minutes. The street parking was no issue - we parked straight out the front. If you arrive later in the evening you might need to hunt about for a spot. All in all, very happy to recommend a stay here.
