Nice place to stay with lovely view of river and boats. Great local walks. 3 people staying is a stretch, so once we arrived I did feel that it was marginally overpriced for what it was.All utensils etc available which was great. Perhaps some basics pike milk, bread, jam woukd be a nice touch as nothing is open in the village if you arrive late/on Sunday.

Ideal property for us, as we wanted to be near the river this year, but not on a boat(too cold and damp).Ideal for a couple. Warm comfortable and clean. Well appointed. 50yds to the nearest pub (drinks ok, but not the best for food, recommend The Swan). Lack of parking space not a problem at this time of year (Oct/Nov)All in all a pleasant place to stay.
