The property is amazing and with a wonderful view of the river. The owners live next door so are available if you do have an issue but otherwise we did not even see them. Local pubs are very convenient and serve good food. Also a well stocked local store is a short walk away.

Lovely walks down by the river or you can take a seat in one of the recliners on the terrace and watch the river meander by.
