Simply Lovely
The River Garden is beautiful. The house is spacious and comfortable, but the gardens and outdoor spaces are truly splendid! We loved being surrounded by all of the plants and trees with the water right there. And the brickwork was a nostalgic and unique addition! Access to the kayaks was a huge plus as well! We loved it!!

Birthday Weekend
The property is lovely and much nicer than the pictures reflect. The layout is a little funky but there was plenty of room and very clean. The only thing that I did not like is the early check out (10 AM). A word of caution is that the location is more for boats that can go in very shallow water so we did have some issues with navigating the area for the time of year we visited. I heard summer months the water is deeper. The property is perfect for kayaking thought and would stay again!
