Well equiped modern kitchen. Very comfortable bed.Excellent heating and comfortable lounge chairs. Sited on the bank of the river the unit was quiet, relaxing and ideal for observing the variety of bird life. Our ten day stay was enhanced by the graciousness of our hostess Jane. Nothing was too much trouble and the unexpected added niceties were much appreciated and added to our enjoyment.

We liked everything about this property. The easy walk to shops, restaurants and the waterfront. It was very clean and very well appointed. The owners were lovely and very welcoming. The room we had was a good size, the bed comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this property.
