Perfect location for exploring on foot and further afield by car. Accommodation has everything you could need and is in a lovely, peaceful setting right on the river. I would highly recommend it.

Beautiful setting and very relaxing.Unfortunately the windows in lounge were dirty and as it was our main view onto the river we couldn't see out of them.My husband spent an hour cleaning the smears and spiders off of them. Also would have appreciated a non slip mat in the bath as it was very slippery.
