Great cottage in a superb location. Noise from the boatyard next door could be a nuisance to some but we found ourselves interested in its goings on. Always something to watch, even on a rainy day.

Lovely cottage, perfect location for a spring break. Well equipped , brilliant views. The boatyard next door, whilst work starts early and is noisy, is interesting, fascinating to watch the comings and goings and is integral to the village. The Lugger inn is very friendly.

Lovely, comfortable, clean, well-equipped cottage with rooms that are more spacious than some other cottages we've stayed in. Great location: the views across the river are wonderful!

A nice little house, a great place, actually a great location. But the shipyard, right next to the house, made a lot of noise and dirt every day. A noise you couldn't ignore, even with the windows closed. The large living room was not usable at all, you couldn't open windows.
