The cottage is in a lovely position right on the river. It has everything you need and more. It is very well situated for the town and Quay with plenty of places to eat out. The host Mary is a lovely lady and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. She left some cakes on arrival and when my wife said she had made a footstool out of a box and cushion she came straight back with a footstool. I didn't give five stars as I thought access to the property was a bit limited. Had a lovely week's weather for the end of September and would definitely book again.
