Everything!

I am so glad I picked this house for our anniversary trip. I was looking all around England for something special and this was it. We stayed for three nights and relaxed around the house. We enjoyed the hot tub, both fire places and walking around the property and then driving our car around the area. The last day was warmer so we got on the row boat and could hear the ducks swim by us and quack. The best word to describe our stay is idyllic.

Unique & Magical Stay

Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay at your very special and luxurious boathouse. From booking to departure the whole experience was exceptional. Both Olivia and Yana were very fast to respond and extremely helpful in responding to our questions during the booking process and assisted with information for our planned visit to Kinsbrook, which we also highly recommend! Yana was onsite during our stay and was warm, friendly and helpful at all times, which we really appreciated. The boathouse is truly gorgeous and the setting is quite magical. Every little thing had been provided for including luxury bath robes, additional towels for the hot tub and muddy dog towels too and lots of logs for the fabulous woodburner, perfect for our November holiday. We have stayed at some wonderful high end holiday properties and this is definitely up there at the very top of the list and very hard to beat for the uniqueness of the location on its own beautiful lake - we slept with the blinds open so that we could wake up to the amazing view! We very much look forward to a return trip in the not too distant future x
