Waterside was a great Location with perfect views of the harbour and estuary. The other bonus being having some outdoor space where you can have your meals and watch the Boats go by. Really enjoyed the open plan living area. It was nice and bright and airy. Would love to come back and highly recommend.

Waterside is a unique holiday stay in a wonderful location. It feels like a home from home with lovely touches and personal interior additions. The view is to die for and there is lots to see and do or just chill.

Beautiful place and stunning view to sit on the balcony to enjoy. Very clean and comfortable. Some quite steep stairs to and from the property. Very handy having use of a frap to tie a boat up at. Much enjoyed our stay here and watched a firework display from our balcony on our last evening. Thank you.

The cottage is beautiful and has everything you need for your stay. Very comfortable, the balcony is just perfect to sit and enjoy the amazing view. Maybe a note somewhere to say that the freezer is in the outside unit. Really is a perfect place to relax and enjoy quiet and for cooking we had everything we needed.

Lovely cottage with great views and nice outdoor seating area. The steps up and down are quite steep but fine if you are fit and healthy. The cottage is very comfortable, lovely and clean and well equipped.

Cottage very comfortable and views to die for, however you have to be fit and able to get to the cottage. Steps very steep and not easy in places without a handrail, especially with luggage, shopping and small children.

The upstairs had great river views and lots of natural light. The sofas were comfy, the TV fine and the kitchen convenient and well equipped. The outside balcony was disappointing as it's North facing and didn't catch the sun at all in October. Downstairs, the bedrooms were gloomy and shower rooms tiny. On arrival, the downstairs felt quite damp anRead mored chilly and the heating wasn't working- virtually no instructions in the info folder and we wasted lots of time Sunday morning trying to get help.
