Absolutely perfect location - we saw swans, ducks a kingfisher and an otter all from the living room! Plenty of space for us all - having en suites for everyone is a real bonus. As others have said the property could do with a bit of tlc but that doesn’t detract from the overall experience. Would love to return.
