Nice setting on the river

We experienced a problem opening and closing the gate when we entered and again when we left did not work and we had to phone reception. The delay meant we were late for our next appointment. The evening meal was simple and great but hugely over priced. The shower had no place to put your toiletries and to put it on the basin floor is a no go.

My stay was extremely comfortable and Cynthia and her team couldn't have been more helpful. It's a beautiful tranquil spot along the river and the chalets are beautifully decorated and private. The staff even cleaned my dusty car and windows each morning, a lovely extra touch, also excellent wi-Fi which was a lovely bonus!
