    “Lovely quirky property in a quiet village, located close to all amenities.”

    River room was lovely. Enjoyed reading the history of the old post office in book provided. Beds super comfy and lovely bath. (Need to put the booster on or not enough hot water for a bath) would have been nice to have a fire in the lounge, even if electric, as a focal point. Also there were lots of cobwebs everywhere.
