My wife and I needed a break from our busy lives and change of scenery.You have certainly provided that with Riverview cottage.The location was just superb. The only thing that let me down was the shower as flow of hot water in the electric shower was inadequate. I think it needs replacing.Without too much emphasis on the irrelevant the cottage and its location are unsurpassable.Will try and book again but for a longer stay next time.Thanks to all concerned
