We had a good few relaxing days.Welcome pack could be improved, dining chairs uncomfortable, could have supplied seat cushions, however the lounge suite made up for it, would go back again.

We had a great week in this house, loved the open plan upstairs with the nice views over the marina. The kitchen was one of the best equipped we have ever had self catering and included a starter pack of tea, coffee, milk sachets and biscuits. It was good having a washing machine and tumble drier. We did however find the beds uncomfortable. There is a pub just round the corner from the house, and you can walk into Horning where there are two other pubs and a very good fish restaurant. Overall we enjoyed our stay here.
