Unfortunately we do not have private parking with our apartments.  The closest car parks are:

  • Bath Row car park PE9 2QY (150 metres) a short walk, across the road and through St Mary’s Passage.
  • Cattlemarket car park PE9 2WB (250 metres) is just 2 minutes’ walk and offers free and paid parking options. 
  • Wharf Road car park PE9 2YG (300 metres) which is 3-4 mins walk is paid spaces only.


All options are about £3 – £4 for 24 hours parking.

If you are staying with us for a while, take the hassle out of returning to your car to top up your parking by downloading the Phone and Pay app (available on both Apple and Android).

There is also free time limited (usually up to 2 hours) on most street parking spaces around town during the day.  All street parking is free and unlimited from 6pm until 8am (some from 3pm).

Both of our two bedroom apartments, Kingfisher and Lily Pad, have wonderful river views of the River Welland from the bedrooms and living area.  Our one-bed Cottage, Toll House, has river views from a small window in the kitchen.  Our smallest apartment, Willow, sadly does not have river views but is still a lovely cosy space!

We have done everything we can to ensure the noise from the road is minimised.  We have installed secondary glazing in all road facing windows however as we cannot guarantee that they will be completely silent at all times.
