What our guests say…

"I gave my Dad a week stay at the Boathouse as a gift, luckily he invited me. It is without doubt one of the most relaxing holidays I have ever had. The house itself is beautifully appointed with everything you could ever need and the grounds and surrounding area is enchanting. Our only concern? How quickly we can get back for another break! Well done all a well deserved 10/10."

Cancellation Policy
The Holidaymaker is liable for the total hire charge unless written notice of the intention to cancel the booking is received at least eight weeks prior to the commencement of the holiday. The deposit paid to confirm the booking, and other monies paid, will only be refunded if the Owner is able to re-let the holiday cottage for the period of the holiday let. In the event of re-letting, the Owner will retain the sum of 100GBP to cover administrative costs and (subject to deduction of that sum) refund to the Holidaymaker the balance of monies received from the Holidaymaker, or the sum received from re-letting whichever sum shall be the lower. Every effort will be made to re-let a cancelled booking, but the Holidaymaker is advised to take out holiday insurance to cover that eventuality.
