Lovely accommodation on the river. Enjoyed sitting on the decking watching the birds and wildlife. Used the train which is five minutes walk away, it was great not to need the car. Jim greeted us and was always available if we had any questions or problems. We hope to return again next year .

What a fantastic place to stay. Host and accommodation first class. Just stepping out onto the decking in the mornings / evenings was a joy to watch the wildlife and boats moored up and passing up / down the river was so relaxing and chilled. Great places to visit by car / train. Highly recommend this location - top banana!
