We had a fantastic stay at the cottage! It was cosy, peaceful, beautifully kept, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was lovely, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. We’d happily stay again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming and comfortable escape.

This is not a charming cottage. It is a ramshackle and extremely dated dwelling. The dwelling only had heat in the 2 bedrooms. There was none in the kitchen or living room... and the weather got down to the 50s. There are big gaps between the window frame and glass,so there was wind coming in off the river! The towels in the bathroom were old and mismatched and there was no soap at all in the bathroom.The only positive was the location- beautiful river view.
