5* House, beautifully renovated. Decor and furnishings were stunning with a mix of new and vintage pieces. The kitchen/lounge area was very sociable and comfortable. Loved all the doors and windows. Amazing downstairs bathroom and all the bedrooms had really comfortable beds. Lots of amazing outside areas for sitting and socialising. The fire chimnRead moreey beside the conservatory was used every night and the lights everywhere were magical. Lots of fun playing darts and on the river. A fantastic house! Hide
