Absolutely fabulous cottage, in a beautiful location on the waterside. Great comms with the owner and housekeeper, well stocked with pans etc. Lots of wood for the week, and a much appreciated and perfectly sized and decorated Christmas tree. Thanks, Dan (One small thought, and I know it’s a personal thing, everyone thought the beds were all very hard) Other than that, we had an amazing time in a beautiful cottage in an amazing location….and we felt very welcomed at the Christmas Community Christmas Quiz which was great fun. I’m certain we’ll be back!

It wasn’t the cleanest place but it was warm and cosy and we were lucky enough to see otters going along the waters edge. Both the pub and the walled garden had excellent food and drink. The riverside walk was just beautiful.
