Had a lovely stay at the Boatshed. Was pleasantly surprised with the extra things included such as hot tub towels, robes and sliders. Also, loved the gifts left for our pooch Jessie, very thoughtful. Finding a bottle of fizz in the fridge when we arrived was also a lovely surprise. Will definitely be returning x
