Lovely clean and comfortable cottage,with excellent fishing and friendly helpful hosts.This was our third visit to Riverton and we were surprised to find that dogs are not allowed around the lakes, such a shame that a few have ruined it for responsible dog owners.

Advertisement does state a fee for electric when booking however we ended up paying £45 for the week as you have to heat hot water to use the shower, electric oven, wi-fi is terrible, barely get a signal, sofa’s are leather, very uncomfortable!
