The views and location are fantastic. The train running days were lovely to witness. The river, wonderful to watch was noisy when the windows were open. However parking at the property was very challenging for our medium car (Nissan Juke) and may have been so even before the new wall was built. Guests are asked to put the bins out. This required moving the car off the driveway to get them past .The welcome folder advised there is no TV licence covering the property, not great if you don't have subscription TV or had planned to binge on a BBC iPlayer series.Contact with the owner was easy and they responded quickly.

This property was overwhelmingly satisfying for me and my family. It was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The view is breathtaking. Plus, we really enjoyed access to local activities. We plan to book this property again as it was a restful and rejuvenating experience.

Our stay at Dee bank cottage was lovely i was surprised at the amount of things that we didn't need to bring because the cottage had it all for example dish cloths,tea towels, Bath towels(lots of them aswell) bath soaps and hands soaps in all the toilets. The weather was terrible but despite that we all had an amazing time.
