I don't usually leave reviews but we have just enjoyed a really lovely week's holiday. Thoughtfully appointed, beautifully warm with heating that you can control and with a generous welcome pack, don't let the narrow, winding approach road put you off as Canal View Cottage is worth it!

What a fantastic place to unwind and watch the world float by. We were entertained by numerous ducks, as well as a moorhen busily collecting twigs etc to build her nest. Lots of interesting boats passed by too.Thank you Michael and Kristine for being perfect hosts, and for the very generous Welcome Pack.We will definitely return to Canal View.
