Very relaxing stay.
This property is really well managed and cared for. The view from the bungalow we stayed in was beautiful and made the stay very special. Breakfast is delivered daily and was very good. We ate in each evening, facilities worked well for this. Pool was really nice and clean and lots of lounging options.

This was a lovely, newer property, with a beautiful view of the river. Amenities were as reported - the pool was nice and the breakfast basket was really a treat. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. Five of us were very comfortable in the large suite.

Lovely new rooms and great breakfast. The ladies on reception are lovely.
Kept awake most of the night by a dog barking on the final night which was a real shame as we loved our stay. I would also suggest some harder pillows in the room.

What an amazing place, with a magnificent view. Friendly and welcoming personnel. Breakfast was very good and served in the room - bread still warm.
This is highly recommended.
