River View has a surprisingly large floorplan. I for instance, didn't expect an utility room and a garden of this size (decking and lawn). Inside are many uneven steps, also between spaces where you wouldn't expect them. They weren't a problem for us, but can be hazardous for others.The cottage has comfortable beds and practical furniture and the kitchen is good equipped. There were a few cobwebs to many for my liking and somehow I did mis a touch of homeliness (knick-knacks, houseplants). But thats very personal!The cottage is situated in a village, next to a through road, but the traffic didn't disturb the birdsong too much. From the cottage is just a tiny bit of river visible. It was a joy to watch a swan, a coot with her little ones and even a kingfisher.At the end of the lawn is a little fence without a lock and since there was no explanation about garden boundaries, I went through it, to enjoy the river and the waterbirds behind. Beautiful!I definitely would recommend River View!Side note: I think that future guests will like something of a welcoming package e.g with a few Nesspresso cups.
