We booked a few nights at the boat house as I wanted to give my wife a lovely relaxing, peaceful and romantic break in the most beautiful setting possible before she had to have some minor surgery. The Boat house provided every thing required in abundance. It was absolutely perfect - a beautifully and respectfully restored property in a dream location. We had a wonderful time sipping champagne on the balcony drinking in the spectacular views and having fondue in front of the fire. Just down the road is Aira force which we walked around. We love a good waterfall. We could have stayed forever.

Don't park your car in the driveway. That corner is lethal!

"The ultimate in romantic getaways - picture postcard location which is walking distance from beautiful Pooley Bridge. Yo"

10.0

Stunning location and views. Has the ‘wow’ factor. Great decor.

Parking at property a little tight and on a blind bend on a main road that makes leaving sometimes a little hairy.
