One of the ultimate spaces to enjoy at THE LOFT is the boat shed at the waters edge, fitted out with sun lounge, day bed & dining table. . From here it is just a few steps to a private jetty & pontoon, perfect for berthing your own boat or a hire boat....a tidal sandy beach is perfect for launching the single seater kayak...........so come & enjoy this delightful river holiday house
