We loved the location. It was perfect for our outdoor activities of cycling and walking. The house was very comfortable for the four of us. We loved how sunny the living area was and how warm and comfortable the beds were. There was everything in the kitchen we needed and we appreciated the condiments and tea and coffee. Thanks so much and hopefully we'll be back.

A wonderful house; quiet in the tree tops with only the sound of the river and the birds. Lovely view over the trees and close to brilliant eating places with a short drive.This is the place to recharge your batteries and relax.Highly recommended if you are looking for a place to wind down.
