Gorgeous cottage well equipt kitchen, driveway a slight issue I managed to reverse my Audi A6 in but friends didnt with the T5 due to wing mirrors having to be folded in so couldnt see, Neighbours were waiting with advise on where to and not to park! Also been better of the upstairs shower was reinstated, it looks like it only needs a pipe and head?

Such a lovely house by the river, the space was great for our family of 5 adults and 3 children, it had everything we needed. The only comment I would add is that it would have been good to know prior, that dogs arent allowed in the lounge upstairs.
