"We very much enjoyed our stay."
Shower was excellent, bed comfy and a beautiful view over the marina. Maybe a little instruction on how to operate hob. Would definitely recommend, lovely walks by the canal too, thank you
-
"Had a fantastic time here, lovely and spacious and warm and cosy."
Beds comfortable .Our only concern was the settees and chair were a bit uncomfortable. Also it would of been lovely to see the view out side while sitting in the living room, but not alot can be done about that. In all accommodation fantastic. Parking next to house. Everything just perfect.

....distinct lack of washing machine ironing board and iron otherwise not a bad week

"The overall holiday was fantastic, the only issue we had was the table is quite a bit higher than the chairs, the chairs could probably do with renewing as you sank deeply into them."
A very minor point as everything else was brilliant. The location is brilliant and the towpaths were a joy to walk along and chat to the boaters.

The town also boasts a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as an abundance of entertainment on and around the meres in the surrounding area. Stroll through Cremorne Gardens, go fishing or boating, take some time to explore Colemere Country Park with its wonderful wildlife and scenic walks, or walk along the canal.
