Great Place to Stay

Staying at the Enchanting Getaway in Merivale was in a top location. Everything was there that I needed. My top features were a comfy bed and walking distance to some excellent cafes and shops. Highly recommend :D

Perfect location, excellent digs

Nice apartment on the edge of the city centre. As there was a parking space, car or foot could be used to gain access.

Very handy location for the purpose of our stay. Walkable to goods bars and restaurants. House was clean and tidy, with everything we needed, although noted that there were no coat hangers in the wardrobes, only a few clothes pegs and the frypan was in need of replacing. We were happy to purchase cheap to replace these to tide us over while we were there. Would stay again.
