Had a lovely stay in the boat house,everything you need was at hand and nice and relaxing. WiFi wasn't the best for watching anything on tv at night but the manager was very quick to try and resolve the issue . We all had a excellent stay and would highly recommend this property and what we seen of the other property on site also

My husband and I stayed for a week with our 7 year old daughter. The accommodation is amazing and photos don't do it justice, it is stunning. We loved coming back to it after a busy day and enjoying the hot tub and jacuzzi bath. Only issue we had was with excessive noise from one of the other properties on the site for the first 2 nights of our stay. Normally wouldn't be too bothered by this but it did go on until the early hours of the morning both nights and kept us awake even with all the windows shut. We reported it to the management and the rest of our stay was perfect.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Boathouse 2 weeks ago. It is very quirky and delightful with all of its twinkling lights. We were fortunate to have exceptional sunny warm days throughout our stay and spent most of our time sitting on the decking overlooking the pond. Everything there suited our needs perfectly especially the peace and quietness. However we feel that the owners need to be aware (as has been mentioned in a previous review) that the terrace wooden decking and particularly the railing are desperate for a repainting. We were also a little disappointed that there was no 'Welcome pack' as was stated in the overview of The Boathouse. Maybe just me but I always look forward to the Welcome pack as a start to a good holiday. Having said that there was chocolate bars waiting for us on the bed and in the fridge and we had done a small shop on the way there so not a problem just a little disappointment. Would we stay here again - yes most certainly we would.
