Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Whether you're visiting Henley for the famous regatta, or simply want to get to know the area, this apartment is a great place to call home during your stay. Treat yourself to a wonderful trip to this pretty English town, and you'll fall in love with its unique charms. The apartment is modern and cosy, with a welcoming ambiance that invites you to kick off your shoes and get comfortable. Sink into a buttery leather sofa with a cup of tea, or head outside onto the private terrace to sip a sundowner in the fresh air when the weather is warm. And, the sleek kitchen is a great place to prepare your favourite dishes when you get hungry – why not cook up a traditional Sunday roast to round off the weekend? From here, the River Thames is just a short stroll away – wander along the banks and admire the quaint scenery. If you fancy a round of golf then there's a course just outside the town where you can practice your swing. And, you can easily drive into the Chiltern Hills if you fancy doing some hillwalking, before enjoying a pint at one of the local pubs.
