Perfect spot for a mini break with friends. Great open plan kitchen / living area, comfortable beds, and beautiful grounds right by the river (the tennis court is a fun bonus!). Lovely peaceful location not far from the coast and National Trust properties so plenty to do over a November weekend. Hosts were friendly and responsive and we were grateful for the bottle of prosecco and hand written card on arrival which was a generous touch.

We had a gorgeous stay at The Boat House! The location is stunning and the interior was absolutely gorgeous. It was great value too. In fact, I found myself double checking the booking more than once to check I'd not made a mistake. It was a 10/10 stay for us with everything we could've asked for. The host, Caroline, was brilliant and keeping in touch and making sure we knew where to go and how to access the property. All the check in and check out instructions were easy to follow and we had everything we needed. We'll be staying again in the summer!
