“Unusual place to stay but very pleasant. With the high weather temperatures we have just had it was a tad warm dispite a large fan. Slept with doors open. Minor improvement could be made but that said our stay was very good.
We would return. Thank you.”

“What an absolute gem. Such a remarkable couple who own the accommodation. So very friendly and helpful.
Lots of history about the actual accommodation within the room, which gives the stay an added dimension.
The room was very comfortable and clean.
We would recommend. We had a lovely few days.”

“Glorious location and super cute accommodation. Only negative is that two of the three rooms are up very narrow steep steps (it’s a boat!) and the car park is 100m away so not easy to get to if you’ve limited mobility. But if that’s not an issue for you, 100% recommend!!”
