secluded river stay

comfortable chairspeaceful eveningsconstant noise
the location overlooking the river included decking. comfortable outdoor chairs were provided. a firepit added to the lovely atmosphere, perfect for peaceful evenings.
i found the gravel pathways created constant noise. traffic and pedestrians disturbed the peace. early morning activity with a quad bike was also disruptive.

the location was pretty. i have to give it to them.
Upon arrival, flies plagued the accommodation i expected better. the contact number provided was unresponsive. My messages went unheeded this created immense frustration, especially trying to resolve minor issues quickly. cleanliness also was below par.

gravel pathsgreen algae
the gravel paths were a constant source of noise. i could hear every footstep and vehicle that passed by, and there was quite a bit of traffic.. it disturbed my sleep on both saturday and sunday mornings. i found the wild swimming area uninviting, as the water was stagnant and covered in green algae.
