Manager Eric is great. Lovely man and if anything goes wrong we have no doubt he'll be there before you know it and fix it. There are probably more no smoking signs than available electrical sockets, many of which already have small, and being used, extension leads in them. The kitchen could be a little better equipped. The place is nicely furnished, everything was spotles when we arrived. Minor gripes aside we will probably use this place again just taking a few extra things with us.

The house or flat as it is, was clean and tidy. Its an older building and as such you expect quirks. Perfect location with the canal to the front of the building and a river to the rear. Fenced off for dogs and kids. Eric (caretaker) made himself known but stayed out of the way unles you needed something. Easy to chat to and nothing was too much trouble. Peaceful and situated right in the middle of the village and opposite the British Legion for those in need of a light libation.
