A lovely cottage that had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The little extra touches were welcome eg a bottle of milk, vase of greenery. The quiet atmosphere and view enhance a real holiday break from home pressures.

Out of the city on a quiet river view spot. Easy access to main roads to go sight seeing for the day. Pleasant area to relax after a full day of sightseeing.
