Very spacious, cosy cottage, with everything you need for a lovely stay. We were welcomed with delicious fresh bread, local cheeses, wine, prese, crackers, tea, coffee, and milk. An immaculate cottage throughout, and the garden and garden terrace were perfect too. The views from the terrace over the church yard and river were spectacular. We have water sports enthusiasts in our group and they particularly appreciated the hosepipe and washing line. The bedrooms were exceptionally comfortable and two bedrooms have amazing views out acros the river. The bathrooms were immaculate and the family bathroom is huge, with a jacuzzi bath in it as well as a separate walk in shower. The kitchen was very well equipped. We would definitely stay again. Lovely cottage in a beautiful village.
