We booked in to Repton Cottage for a long-term stay while our boat is being repainted. This was our first 4 weeks, and I must say, it has been excellent. The hosts Elaine and Greg have been so helpful, helping us settle in with our 2 dogs. As I have had to continue working from home, good internet was important. It has been excellent and caused no issues. It's just 15 minutes away from the marina where we live and my husband works. A perfect choice.

We spent a wonderful week at Repton cottage. It was comfortable. Nice beds and amazing shower. We had a tiny problem with the TV which was sorted in 10 minutes ! Such a fantastic location for walking from the door. Bluebell woods and the amazing anchor church. We would recommend 100%
