With river views, this accommodation features a patio. The guest house also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests.

The accommodation is very well appointed with a fabulous verandah area, perfect for sitting out in the warm, sunny weather we enjoyed. We ate out for dinner on the four nights we were there, but self catered our breakfast using the excellent facilities provided.
