The Boathouse Reviews

Linda

We loved staying at the boathouse, it is such an amazing place . The owners supplied a lovely granary loaf and butter , eggs and organic milk and crisps which was really generous of them, and very much appreciated. We would definitely return , the hot tub was the best weve had and the garden is brilliant especially if you take a dog like we did as Read moreit is so big and has a fence all the way round it. We would like to say thank you to Andrew and his wife . Hide

Natasha

We came to The Boathouse as a honeymoon after our wedding. We were absolutely blown away by the location, it is so peaceful and absolutely full of wildlife. As a couple who are interested in watching all kinds of birds and animals, it was beautiful to simply look out of your window and see it all. Some of these including the kingfisher, bats and heRead morearing owls during the evening. Where we stayed was dog friendly and the area the boathouse is in, is fenced all around. This meant that we could relax and let her run around the area without having to worry. In the property there were amenities for both ourselves and the dog, which was a really nice touch. Even the dog enjoyed waking early in the morning and watching the birds from the bed. The owners were very approachable and would check in to see how we were doing. They had left suggestions of local dog walks and places we could eat, which was very handy. Not to mention upon arrival, they had purchased bread from the local bakery, milk, eggs, crisps, homemade strawberry jam and butter. Little touches like this made us feel right at home! In terms of the things to do within the property, there is a lovely bath in the bedroom and a hot tub outside with views of the surrounding countryside. We would highly recommend and will be returning here ourselves! Hide

Yasmin

A beautiful setting, truly surrounded by nature. The Boathouse was so well equipped with everything you would need. The hosts are friendly and helpful and we felt very comfortable and relaxed. We hope to go back again soon.

The Boathouse is a really special place, unique in its setting and we absolutely loved our stay.
