Cocoa Lily (with allocated secure parking)

One of only a handful of apartments in the city directly on to a river - and you can watch it flow by your window seat, so close you’ll want to reach out and dabble your hands. Ground floor high-spec bright/sunny riverside studio feat. the 19th-century brickwork of Rowntree Wharf built 1864. Quiet yet 2 mins from the centre... the best of both worlds is so rare! Privately-owned/operated. Shopping, history, cuisine or bars; you’ll have a superb stay here in the very heart of the city.
