We absolutely loved our stay at this very warm, inviting & well-equipped house. The kitchen had everything you needed, great coffee machine, wine glasses, every utensil needed. Appliances all easy to use. We used the deck all the time & fireplace each night. It was so lovely to sit & look at the stunning view & watch the stars at night. We slept with the window open to wake up to the beautiful river views. Your garden is so pretty. We ate at the pub across the road each night, which has a huge menu. We also used the bikes each day & rode along the river to the lighthouse & had swims in what I can describe as very refreshing crystal clear water. We didn't want to leave & will be back to stay at your amazing house.

We visited the area for a family wedding and had the most beautiful stay in Georgetown. The house is in the perfect location to shops and we enjoyed the bikes on offer to explore the area.
