What guests are saying
Good location next to the River.
Parking for 2 cars is good. TV in every room and big soft towels provided. The garden is not enclosed as states on advert. No outside seating available which would be a nice touch as there is plenty of space for this, and would all sitting enjoying the river. As the living room looks away from the river. The metal bed in second bedroom was loose and squeaky. My son had to tighten up all the screws. A welcome basket with some tea/coffee and milk would have been a nice extra. And the information book could have some more information in it. Overall a nice cottage but felt a little expensive.
The bed in the smaller bedroom had one of the most uncomfortable beds I’ve ever slept on.
The mattress was thin and the pillows were thin and worn. The cheap bedframe was not put together well or had loosened over time and squeaked loudly with any slight moment keeping us up all night.
Beautuful cottage in great location, had everthing we needed.
10 minutes walk into town along the river. Needs a little maintenance but nothing that would of made our stay any better. King size bed was super comfortable, would definitely stay in this cottage again.
