Lovely house. Great facilities, clean in a quiet location with a good pub 15 minutes walk from the house. Great fishing and lots of wildlife viewed from the garden. Stayed for a week with 8 adults, 1 child, plenty of space and loved the big kitchen table for meals with the picture window framing the garden and the river beyond.
