Ideal property for us, as we wanted to be near the river this year, but not on a boat(too cold and damp).Ideal for a couple. Warm comfortable and clean. Well appointed. 50yds to the nearest pub (drinks ok, but not the best for food, recommend The Swan). Lack of parking space not a problem at this time of year (Oct/Nov)All in all a pleasant place to stay.

Enjoyed our stay very much. The flat had a lovely outlook over the river, was spotless, light and bright throughout the day, and the bed was very comfortable indeed. Heating was most welcome in the chilly evenings. All the facilities we needed were provided, although a razor point would have been helpful, and I fortunately had packed my own hairdryer. Excellent storage and hanging space was available for clothing.Would book this flat again.

We stayed at River View for 3 nights. The flat was comfortable, clean and bright. We enjoyed watching the boats on the river. Great location with pubs nearby and we were able to walk our dog to the playing field by the Village Hall, which was accessible by some steps directly opposite the front door. We gave 4 stars because on arrival there was no available parking nearby and we had to pull up on the pavement and unload quickly & then drive round to park the car at the Village Hall (which is free). This only happened on the Saturday and after that we were able to park outside. As has been previously mentioned, the stairs in the flat are quite steep, so not suitable if you have weak knees!
