Great family accommodation with direct water access
This is the second time we've stayed here. The house is older, but comfortable. It's a great place to stay with children, there is direct access to the river and a small beach. Magnificent view from the main bedroom and balcony. The main beach is only a short walk or ride. Having access to the canoes and a safe area to use them is a bonus for the children.

Old and rustic or old and tired
This place is ideally located right on the river inlet, with a cafe next door and across the road. The local Blue Waters Hotel is a two minute walk away and does great meals, nice family atmosphere. The accomodation is large plenty of room for a family, fully equipped or over equipped, but I can’t make my mind up whether it’s old and rustic or old, tired and cluttered.

Good location; poor value.
Check in procedure and communication with Julie was excellent and the water views are delightful. However, the unkempt grounds, drab interior and worn-out furniture and fittings seemed well below the standard expected at those rates. We won't be back.
