The location was perfect sat right on the river, the house was a home from home with everything you need for a comfortable, luxury break. We felt so welcomed and cared for, everything was just perfect! Carole is a wonderful, generous host and the welcome pack was a fabulous surprise. We had a lovely break made all the easier with a relaxing home to return to.
