    The views are magnificent, and you can walk straight out into them. The accommodation was warm cosy and clean. We were well provided for. We enjoyed our stay, and intend to return. 2 things that could do with attention. The toilet flush is ineffective, and the shower drain is blocked.

  • Elizabeth

    Lovely property, well equipped and comfortable (and joy of joys, sharp cooks knives in the kitchen). Really enjoyed our stay here as there was always something to see along the river. It was really cosy with the stove lit in the evening. A great place to get away from it all.

    I was on my own and the small bedroom might be rather cramped for a couple. A bit too dark in the sitting room maybe. Otherwise pretty much perfect for my purposes of a walking holiday.
