    We booked a few nights at the boat house as I wanted to give my wife a lovely relaxing, peaceful and romantic break in the most beautiful setting possible before she had to have some minor surgery. The Boat house provided every thing required in abundance. It was absolutely perfect - a beautifully and respectfully restored property in a dream location. We had a wonderful time sipping champagne on the balcony drinking in the spectacular views and having fondue in front of the fire. Just down the road is Aira force which we walked around. We love a good waterfall. We could have stayed forever.

    Don't park your car in the driveway. That corner is lethal!

    Great location (5 stars) parts of the stay I would only give 4 stars.

    Location Fire Bath Welcome pack Robes and slippers Plenty of firewood

    Bathroom was cold Despite underfloor heating the fire was needed to keep warm Oven trays dirty on arrival from previous use Kettle had scaly deposits Rationed dishwasher tablets For a 5 star property I would expect a full Sky package
