Great spot for fishing - roach on hemp and tare - great spot for sitting and doing nothing - reading / enjoying a few glasses Constructive feedback if I may ; The furniture could do with being replaced or cleaned the recliner and sofa are quite stained. The kitchen was well equipped, but needs a deep clean- floor especially. I spilt some Coffee on the floor within an hour of being there - when I used paper to mop up it was filthy. The bathroom could also really do with a deep clean and the shower updating. Beds comfortable and black out blinds really good especially in the heat. The view is phenomenal so much wildlife to see, very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the week but with a few tweaks it could be amazing place.

Delightful location, a beautiful place to relax and unwind. Everything from the moment we opened the gate, the lovely views, the peaceful atmosphere and place to stay and feel at home in. The beds were so comfortable, the shower always hot and lovely seats that you can relax in to a watch life on the water.We will definitely look to return, it’s just such a lovely place.

If you’re looking for perfection this is it. Spotlessly clean and everything you could wish for is provided. Would not hesitate to recommend Evening Glory to anyone.Only downside is because it’s one of the best it’s booked up and we have been unable to rebookFor the foreseeable future.
