Guests have praised Riverain for its excellent communication, warm and comfortable environment, and beautiful location. The property is well-equipped and dog-friendly, with special mentions of a generous welcome hamper. Some minor issues were noted regarding lighting and noise, but overall, the property is highly regarded for its cleanliness, location, and the thoughtfulness of the hosts.
The property is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with several guests highlighting its exceptional standards of cleanliness.
The location is deemed ideal and beautiful, with good cycling routes and proximity to the North Lakes, contributing to a perfect holiday setting.
The cottage is frequently referred to as warm and comfortable. However, a minor issue with noise in the downstairs bedroom slightly impacts the comfort score.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped nature of the property and the electric charging on site. However, some guests experienced poor lighting and a non-secure garden, which suggests room for improvement.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, particularly regarding the welcome hamper. It should be noted that while such gifts are greatly appreciated, they are a courtesy and not guaranteed.
