A lovely well equipped cottage with stunning views of the countryside.We really didn't want to leave. We had a lovely ritual of walking down to the river at night. It was very relaxing after a busy day.

The Fishing Lodge is a lovely comfortable place, and very quiet, with great views from the windows. There is parking on sight and a pub about 15 minutes walk away. The only problem was the limited Wi-Fi

A wonderful cottage in THE most beautiful location. Stunning! I have been going there for many years having tried other places that simply couldn’t match the wonderful view, amenities and the great layout.Stupidly we managed to leave my car parcel shelf and a large bag of shopping this year. However, the owner is really kind. In order for me to avoid a 6 hour round trip to retrieve them he wrapped them up and sent them to me with no discussion. That is definitely going above and beyond!
