Reading previous reviews we were not sure what to expect but we loved it. Space, location, views, stocked kitchen, tv and wifi provision were perfect and 4 adults and 2 children felt at home immediately. There may be some decoration that would benefit the property but with 2 kids and muddy shoes we didn't have to walk on eggshells and it was the perfect base for the perfect weekend. The price was extremely competitive and we would certainly go back.

Great comfortable accommodation in a lovely location.However it could have been cleaner.The cooker hood didnt work and was covered in a layer of grease and dust. The lighting in the kitchen and dining area was very poor which made it difficult to work in this area. The outside of the windows were thick in dirt and cobwebs particularly upstairs.Otherwise all great

On arrival we were very disappointed. We were in a boat yard, not near the river. The property is very dated. We were so disappointed we left and returned home.
