Summary: The property itself was great, very well equipped, comfortable and has a great view of the river. The information left for us was vey useful and we took advantage of the pizzas at the nearby pub which were excellent. The only down side is the parking. We parked in the designated space but other people park in places which block the roadway or make getting out difficult. Unfortunately the property owner does not have any control over these inconsiderate people but it is something to be aware of if you have a large vehicle.
